EXPLANATORY NOTE

Westport Fuel Systems Inc. (the “Company” or the “Registrant”) is a Canadian issuer eligible to file its annual report pursuant to Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), on Form 40-F pursuant to the multi-jurisdictional disclosure system of the Exchange Act.  The Company is a “foreign private issuer” as defined in Rule 3b-4 under the Exchange Act.  Equity securities of the Company are accordingly exempt from Sections 14(a), 14(b), 14(c), 14(f) and 16 of the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 3a12-3.

The Company is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 40-F (“Amendment No. 1”) to its Annual Report on Form 40-F for the year ended December 31, 2015 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 29, 2016 (the “Original Form 40-F”) because the Company inadvertently omitted management’s conclusion regarding the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures from Exhibit 99.3 (Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2015) to the Original Form 40-F. Consequently, the only amendment to the Original Form 40-F is to refile an amended Exhibit 99.3 to include a statement regarding management’s conclusion as to the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures under the heading “Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.”

Other than as described above, all information in the Original Form 40-F is unchanged and is not reproduced in this Amendment No. 1.  Except as may be specifically indicated herein, the Original Form 40-F continues to describe conditions as of the date of the Original Form 40-F and the Company has not modified or updated other disclosures presented in the Original Form 40-F.  This Amendment No. 1 does not reflect events occurring after the date of the Original Form 40-F nor does it modify or update disclosures affected by subsequent events.  Accordingly, this Amendment No. 1 should be read in conjunction with the Original Form 40-F.

 
UNDERTAKING
 
The Company undertakes to make available, in person or by telephone, representatives to respond to inquiries made by the SEC’s staff, and to furnish promptly, when requested to do so by the SEC staff, information relating to: the securities registered pursuant to Form 40-F; the securities in relation to which the obligation to file an annual report on Form 40-F arises; or transactions in said securities.


CONSENT TO SERVICE OF PROCESS

The Company previously filed an Appointment of Agent for Service of Process and Undertaking on Form F-X with the SEC on July 22, 2008, with respect to the class of securities in relation to which the obligation to file this annual report on Form 40-F arises.
