3 What We Do Non-disruptive growth; working with producers and industry participants 3

4 Leading National Provider of Full Range of Refrigerant and Engineered Solutions Refrigerants Reclaimed and virgin refrigerants including CFCs, R-22, HFCs One of the largest independent distributors Markets served: air conditioning and refrigeration industry Reclamation Industry leader in refrigerant reclamation ~25% market share ~14% volume growth in 2016 Customers beginning to experience supply constraints One stop service 4 Locations AHRI Certified Lab Cylinder Recertification Separation of mixed refrigerants Product Offerings (90% of Revenue) Patented and proprietary capacities enables Hudson to reclaim all refrigerants Service Offerings (10% of Revenue) Industrial and Large Commercial Remediation solutions Energy Engineering Integrated monitoring systems Engineered interpretation 4

5 Airgas-Refrigerants Transaction Overview Air Liquide Airgas- Refrigerants Business Overview LTM Revenue as of 3/31/17 Offerings Size and Scale Refrigerants Reclamation Remediation Services Global Energy Services HQ Pearl River, NY 4 Reclamation Facilities throughout the U.S. and Puerto Rico ~140 employees AHRI certified laboratory ~$250 million Refrigerants Reclamation Remediation Services Airgas- Refrigerants HQ Lawrenceville, GA; regional sales offices across the U.S. 1 Reclamation Facility 30+ facilities and stocking points ~125 employees AHRI certified laboratory 5

6 Transformational Acquisition Combining two businesses with complementary offerings and best-in-class employees in the refrigerant industry ARI s large customer base for HFCs positions Hudson to better serve an expanded customer base during the future phase down of HFCs Expanded customer network increases access to refrigerants and strengthens distribution capabilities Anticipated cross-selling of Hudson services to ARI s existing customer base Increased processing capacity to support the anticipated growth in reclamation volume from the ongoing phase-out of HCFC production and expected future phase-outs Enhanced geographic footprint in the U.S. Strategic purchase of valuable refrigerant inventory will more than double Hudson s existing inventory balance Transaction expected to close in

7 Refrigerant Aftermarket Landscape CFCs Virgin production phased out in 1995 HCFCs (R-22) Virgin production phase out underway; vast majority of virgin HCFC production will cease in 2020 HFCs High global warming gases scheduled for phase out beginning 2019 HFOs Producers focusing on next generation offerings of HFOs Potential for large market opportunity as HFC refrigerants are increasingly replaced by HFOs HVAC Aftermarket is Growing at High Single Digit Rate With Phase Out of Virgin Production, HDSN Becomes the Producer 7

8 Market Opportunity Near-Term Market Opportunity Long-Term Market Opportunity $1 Billion Non-Reclaim Refrigerant Aftermarket HDSN is leading independent distributor selling all available refrigerants HCFCs (R-22) most commonly used; HFCs are the next generation Energy Efficiency is a Multi-Billion Dollar Market Remediation solutions provide predictive, diagnostic services for reliability and emergency response Energy engineering uses real-time monitoring to identify and remediate inefficiencies to calibrate energy consumption to bring down energy costs and meet sustainability requirements $1 Billion Reclamation Opportunity by : Reclaimers become producers with 100% of R-22 supply being served by reclaimed R-22 Implementation of Montreal Protocol provides opportunity for additional reclamation 8

9 R-22 Market Opportunity M pounds EPA Final Rule (10/16/14) Production Phase Down Schedule: 22M pounds 18M pounds 13M pounds 9M pounds 4M pounds 0 pounds Virgin R-22 Production Will Be Zero By End of 2019 Despite elimination of virgin production, aftermarket demand expected to continue for approximately 20 years EPA Projects Aftermarket Demand to be Approximately 50M Pounds by 2020 Reclaimed R-22 expected to fulfill a majority of that demand Reclaimed R-22 is best solution for R-22 systems $1B+ Potential Market Opportunity in 2020 Price of R-22 has increased from $7/lb in 2014 to $18/lb in 2016 CFC pricing increased to $30/lb with previous phaseout 9

10 Sourcing of All Types of Used Refrigerant Contractors capture dirty gas, return to distributors & Hudson HVAC Supply House Price drives reclamation for Hudson All refrigerants, legacy & next generation, follow the same supply path 10

11 A Leader in a Fragmented Market Reclaimers Airgas National Refrigerants Other ~30 different companies Hudson captures approximately 25% of the reclaim market 11

12 Phase Out Drives Domestic Job Creation; HFCs Are Next to Go Allocation System Benefits U.S. Producers & Reclaimers R-22 Phase Out Advances U.S. competitiveness Domestic production grows with introduction of next gen products and restrictions on foreign imports Increased infrastructure spending spurs product and service sales Expansion In Sectors Developing & Manufacturing non-ods Chemicals and Technologies Has Created Employment Opportunities Jobs created in training programs for managers and skilled technicians working with the respective technologies Opportunities created by activities such as recycling, containment and retrofitting 12
