The purpose of this Notice is to announce a change in the location of the Annual Meeting to a virtual meeting only, via webcast, at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/HLIO2020.

This Notice is being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and is being made available to shareholders on or about July 20, 2020.

In light of public health concerns regarding the coronavirus, or COVID-19, and to protect its shareholders, directors, officers, employees and families, NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the location of the 2020 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of Helios Technologies, Inc.

The Annual Meeting will be held on Thursday, August 6, 2020 at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time, as originally announced.

As described in the proxy materials for the Annual Meeting previously distributed, you are entitled to virtually attend, participate in, and vote at the Annual Meeting if you were a shareholder of record at the close of business on June 1, 2020, the record date. The webcast will be held online at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/HLIO2020.

If you are a shareholder, you must enter the 16-digit control number found on your proxy card, voting instruction form, or notice of internet availability of proxy materials previously sent to you to vote and ask questions during the Annual Meeting. If you have already voted, you need not do anything further. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we encourage shareholders to vote on the proposals prior to the Annual Meeting using the instructions provided in the proxy materials previously distributed.

The proxy card previously distributed will not be updated to reflect the virtual only meeting format and may continue to be used to vote your shares in connection with the Annual Meeting.
