to be included with this Amendment.

Board believes that, based on his positions with the Company and Steiner-Atlantic, Mr. Steiner provides the Board with a deep understanding
of the Company’s operations, products, customers, suppliers and employees, in addition to the Company’s challenges,
needs, opportunities and strategies. The Board also believes that it benefits from Mr. Steiner’s understanding of finance,
law and taxation gained through his Bachelor of Sciences degree in finance, Juris Doctor degree and Masters of Law degree in taxation.

wholly owned subsidiary through which the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of WSD and conducts its business. The

of the operations, prospects, products, customers, suppliers and employees of Western State Design.
Tom Marks

Chief Executive Officer of Arreva LLC (“Arreva”), which provides software to serve the fundraising and donor relationship
management needs of nonprofit organizations. Arreva is the successor by merger to DonorCommunity Inc. (“DonorCommunity”),
a company founded by Mr. Blyer which provided a software platform to non-profit organizations to assist in their operational and

software company that developed and distributed technology for the analysis of data in decision-making and which merged with a

Shareholder of the law firm of Carlton Fields Jorden Burt, P.A. (“Carlton Fields”). From 1989 until he joined Carlton
Fields, Mr. Grunspan was a member of the law firm of Kaufman Dickstein & Grunspan, P.A. The Board believes that it benefits
from Mr. Grunspan’s service due to, among other things, his over 25 years of experience as a business lawyer with an understanding
of the industry in which the Company operates and environmental matters, including those that particularly pertain to the dry cleaning
and laundry industry. The Board also believes that Mr. Grunspan brings valuable financing expertise to the Board obtained from
his Bachelor of Sciences degree in finance and his legal practice, and that he provides management experience to the Board obtained
from his management of a law firm prior to joining Carlton Fields.

Andersen LLP, where he was employed since 1986. The Board believes that Mr. LaMacchia provides meaningful insight to the Board
and makes important contributions to the Audit Committee, including as a result of his finance and accounting background.

Additional Information Regarding Directors
and Executive Officers
Under the Company’s Bylaws, each director
serves for a term expiring at the Company’s next annual meeting of stockholders. Executive officers serve until they resign
or are replaced or removed by the Board of Directors.
There is no family relationship between any
director and executive officer. Except for the voting obligations under the stockholders agreements described under “Certain
Relationships and Related Transactions - Controlling Stockholder; Stockholders Agreements” below, no director or executive
officer has any arrangement or understanding between him and any other person(s) pursuant to which he is to be selected as a director
or officer of the Company.
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting
Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires
the Company’s directors, executive officers and 10% stockholders to file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes
in ownership of the Company’s Common Stock and other equity securities, if any, with the SEC and the NYSE American. The Company’s
directors, executive officers and 10% stockholders are required to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) reports
they file. Based on a review of the copies of such reports furnished to the Company and written representations from the Company’s
directors and executive officers that no other reports were required, the Company believes that, except as described below, its
directors, executive officers and 10% stockholders complied with all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to them for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 2018 (“fiscal 2018”). On December 6, 2017, Henry M. Nahmad filed a Form 4 with the SEC reporting
his surrender to the Company of 10,786 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, effective December 1, 2017. On July 11, 2018,
Henry M. Nahmad filed a Form 4 with the SEC reporting his surrender to the Company of 10,132 shares of the Company’s Common
Stock, effective June 2, 2018. In each case, the shares were surrendered to satisfy the Company’s tax withholding obligation
relating to the vesting of certain restricted stock awards previously granted to Mr. Nahmad.
Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
The Company has adopted a Code of Business
Conduct and Ethics that applies to all of its directors, officers and employees. The Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is supplemented
by a Senior Financial Officer Code of Ethics that applies to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and senior financial officers.
The Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and the Senior Financial Officer Code of Ethics are posted in the “Investors –
Corporate Governance – Governance Documents” section of the Company’s website at
www.envirostarinc.com
.
Any amendments to, or waivers of, the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics or Senior Financial Officer Code of Ethics (in each case,
to the extent applicable to the Company’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting
officer) will be posted on the Company’s website or made available by other appropriate means as required or permitted under
applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the NYSE American.
Audit Committee
The Company’s Board of Directors has
a standing Audit Committee. The Audit Committee was comprised of Alan M. Grunspan, Chairman, and David Blyer until December 2017
when the composition of the Audit Committee was reconstituted to consist of its current members, who are Timothy P. LaMacchia,
Chairman, Alan M. Grunspan and Todd Oretsky. The Board determined that each member of the Audit Committee is “financially
literate” and “independent” within the meaning of rules of the NYSE American (including, with respect to their
independence, the additional independence requirements applicable to audit committee members thereunder) and applicable SEC rules
and regulations. The Board also determined that Mr. LaMacchia is (and, while he was serving on the Audit Committee, Mr. Blyer was)
qualified as an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined under Item 407 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the
SEC.

The Company does not have an employment agreement with any of the Named Executive Officers. The
compensation of the Named Executive Officers is determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Each Named
Executive Officer receives an annual base salary and may receive bonuses, in cash and/or equity awards, pursuant to bonus plans
which may established from time to time by the Compensation Committee or otherwise at the discretion of the Compensation Committee.
Equity awards, if any, are granted under the EnviroStar, Inc. 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Equity Incentive Plan”).
The Named Executive Officers are also provided certain benefits, including health and welfare benefits and the right to participate
in the Company’s participatory Section 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan described below, on the same basis as the Company’s
other employees. The compensation of the Named Executive Officers, and the Company’s other executive officers, is reviewed
annually, or more frequently as determined to be advisable, by the Compensation Committee.

Represents the annual base salary paid to the Named Executive Officer during the applicable fiscal
year. Effective October 10, 2016, the independent members of the Company’s Board of Directors approved (a) an increase in
Mr. Nahmad’s annual base salary from $400,000 to $550,000 and (b) an annual base salary of $300,000 for each of Mr. Mack
and Mr. Marks. Each of Mr. Mack and Mr. Marks was appointed to serve as an Executive Vice President of the Company, effective October
10, 2016. Prior to that time, neither Mr. Mack nor Mr. Marks was employed by the Company. Each Named Executive Officer's annual
base salary is subject to adjustment from time to time at the discretion of the Compensation Committee.

Represent discretionary cash bonuses paid upon the approval of the Compensation Committee (or,
for Mr. Nahmad’s 2017 bonus, the independent members of the Board of Directors prior to the formation of a standing Compensation
Committee), in each cash, based upon a subjective evaluation of the performance of the Company and the applicable Named Executive
Officer. With respect to the bonuses paid to Mr. Mack and Mr. Marks for fiscal 2018, the Compensation Committee considered the
recommendation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the positive performance of the Company and its operating subsidiaries,
including Western State Design (of which Mr. Mack is the President and Mr. Marks is Executive Vice President), and the Company’s
financial condition. With respect to the bonus paid to Mr. Nahmad for fiscal 2018, the Compensation Committee considered the success
of the Company’s growth strategy and achievements with respect to strategic acquisitions, as well as Mr. Nahmad’s role
with respect thereto, and the Company’s financial results and condition, including its cash position. In approving the bonus
to Mr. Nahmad, the Compensation Committee also considered the report and recommendation of, and the Compensation Committee’s
discussions with, Pearl Meyer & Partners, LLC, a third party compensation consultant, regarding such bonus.

Represents the aggregate grant date fair value of restricted stock awards of 414,762 shares of
the Company’s Common Stock granted to Mr. Nahmad during November 2016 and 414,762 shares of the Company’s Common Stock
granted to Mr. Nahmad during June 2017, in each case, under the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan and related award agreements
upon the approval of the independent members of the Company’s Board of Directors, who comprised the administrative committee
for the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan prior to the formation of the standing Compensation Committee. Assumptions used in
the calculation of the grant date fair value of the restricted stock awards are included in Note 19 to the Company’s audited
consolidated financial statements contained in the Fiscal 2018 Form 10-K filed with the SEC on September 13, 2018. During fiscal
2018, a total of 51,844 of the shares covered by these restricted stock awards vested, with a total of 20,918 of such shares withheld
by the Company to satisfy the Company’s tax withholding obligation relating to the vesting of the awards. See “Outstanding
Equity Awards at June 30, 2018” below for additional information regarding these restricted stock awards, including additional
information regarding the vesting schedules applicable thereto. Due to the long vesting periods, including that 75% of the total
number of shares subject to the restricted stock awards at the time of grant are not scheduled to vest until November 2040 and
all such shares, including the shares not scheduled to vest until November 2040, are subject to the risk of forfeiture until vesting,
the present value of these restricted stock awards is significantly less than the grant date fair value presented in the table.

The following table sets forth certain information
regarding restricted stock awards of the Company’s Common Stock held by Henry M. Nahmad. Other than as set forth below, none

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan and the related
award agreement, including as described below under “Compensation Plans and Arrangements,” 75% of these restricted
shares are scheduled to vest on November 5, 2040, the date on which Mr. Nahmad will reach the age of 62, and the balance of these
restricted shares are scheduled to vest in three remaining equal annual installments in November 2018, 2019 and 2020.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan and the related
award agreement, including as described below under “Compensation Plans and Arrangements,” 75% of these restricted
shares are scheduled to vest on November 5, 2040, the date on which Mr. Nahmad will reach the age of 62, and the balance of these
restricted shares are scheduled to vest in three remaining equal annual installments in June 2019, 2020 and 2021.
|
Compensation Plans and Arrangements
As described above, no Named Executive Officer
is a party to an employment agreement with the Company. In addition, the Company has no plans or arrangements with any Named Executive
Officer which provide for the payment of retirement benefits, or benefits that would be paid primarily following retirement, other
than the Company’s participatory Section 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan, a deferred compensation plan under which the Company
matches employee contributions up to 3% of an eligible employee’s yearly compensation. Such compensation is tax deferred
under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Further, the Company has no contracts,
agreements, plans or arrangements that provide for the payment in the future to any Named Executive Officer following or in connection
with his resignation, termination of employment or a change in control of the Company. However, outstanding restricted stock awards
of the Company’s Common Stock, including those granted to Mr. Nahmad, will accelerate and immediately vest, to the extent
not previously vested or forfeited, in the event of the award holder’s death or Disability (as defined in the award agreements).
In addition, pursuant to the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan, such restricted stock awards may, in the discretion of the
Compensation Committee, accelerate and immediately vest, to the extent not previously vested or forfeited, upon a Change in Control
of the Company (as defined in the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan). In the event that vesting is accelerated, any unrecognized
stock-based compensation expense would be immediately recognized. Had the restricted stock awards held by Mr. Nahmad vested upon
his death or Disability or upon a Change in Control of the Company, in each case, as of June 30, 2018, the value of the accelerated
vesting of the restricted shares would have been $15,670,252 (based on the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on
the NYSE American on June 30, 2018 and the number of restricted shares of Common Stock that would have been subject to accelerated
vesting) and the Company would have recognized $12,365,130 of stock-based compensation.
Director Compensation
The Compensation Committee, with the input
and assistance of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, recommends director compensation to the full Board of Directors.
The Board of Directors approves director compensation based on factors it considers to be appropriate, market conditions and trends,
and the recommendation of the Compensation Committee.
During fiscal 2018, the Company’s Board
of Directors approved a new compensation program for its non-employee directors intended to assist the Company in attracting and
retaining qualified directors, reward non-employee directors for their service on the Board and its committees through both equity
awards and cash fees, and align the interests of the non-employee directors with those of stockholders. Pursuant to the new program,
each non-employee director receives annually a grant of $50,000 of restricted stock awards (based on the closing price of the Company’s
Common Stock on the date of grant). Except as described below, the restricted stock awards will vest in four equal annual installments
beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date. In accordance with the new program, each of the Company’s non-employee
directors was granted $50,000 of restricted stock awards during fiscal 2018. In recognition of their past service on behalf of
the Company for which the Company’s non-employee directors had not previously received equity-based awards of the Company,

LaMacchia, who joined the Board in December 2017) vested immediately with respect to 25% of such awards, with the remainder of
the awards to vest in equal annual installments on the first, second and third anniversary of the grant date. The restricted stock
awards are granted under, and subject to, the Equity Incentive Plan and related award agreements.

received a fee of $5,000 per year for his service on the Board and each member of the Audit Committee received an additional fee
of $5,000 per year for his service on the Audit Committee.
The Company does not provide any tax gross-ups
to its non-employee directors, all of whom are responsible for their respective tax obligations relating to their compensation
for Board and committee service. Directors are also reimbursed for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection
with performing their duties. Directors of the Company who are also employees of the Company do not receive compensation for their
service as directors, but are reimbursed for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with performing their
duties as directors.

Audit Fees
. Audit fees were for the
audits of the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2017 included in the Company’s
Annual Reports on Form 10-K for those fiscal years, the audit of a subsidiary’s financial statements for those fiscal years
which are required for inclusion in the subsidiary’s Franchise Disclosure Document, and reviews of the Company’s quarterly
financial statements included in the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q during such fiscal years. The audit fees for
fiscal 2018 also include fees related to the auditor attestation of management’s report on internal control over financial
reporting included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018. In accordance with
SEC rules and regulations, prior to the Company’s fiscal 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K, the report of Company’s management
on internal control over financial reporting was not subject to auditor attestation.
Audit-Related Fees.
Audit-related
fees for fiscal 2017 were for services related to audits of acquired companies.
Tax Fees
. Tax fees for fiscal
2017 were for services related to tax return preparation and tax advice.
All Other Fees.
No fees other
than audit fees, audit-related fees and tax fees were paid by the Company to its independent registered public accounting firm
for fiscal 2018 or fiscal 2017.
In connection with the standards for independence
of a company’s independent registered public accounting firm, the Audit Committee considered whether the provision of non-audit
services by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm was compatible with maintaining the independence
of such firm in the conduct of its auditing functions.
It is the policy of the Audit Committee that
all audit, audit-related, tax and other permissible non-audit services provided by the Company’s independent registered public
accounting firm be pre-approved by the Audit Committee. It is expected that pre-approval will be for periods up to one year and
be set forth in an engagement letter approved by the Audit Committee that applies to the particular services or category of services
to be provided and subject to a specific budget. The policy also requires additional approval of any engagements that were previously
approved but are anticipated to exceed the pre-approved fee budget level. The policy permits the Chairman of the Audit Committee
to pre-approve the Company’s services by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm where the Company
deems it necessary or advisable that such services commence prior to the next regularly scheduled meeting of the Audit Committee,
provided that the Chairman of the Audit Committee is required to report to the full Audit Committee on any pre-approval determinations
made in this manner at the next Audit Committee meeting. All of the services performed by the Company’s independent registered
public accounting firm during fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2017 were pre-approved by the Audit Committee.
The Audit Committee has selected BDO to act
as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2019. However, the Audit
Committee has the right to select different auditors if it deems a change to be in the Company’s best interests.
