Audit Committee of the Board of Directors Charter

Purpose

The purpose of the Audit Committee (the "Committee") of the Board of Directors (the "Board") of VOXX International Corporation (the "Company") is to assist the Board in its oversight of the Company's financial statements, the Company's compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, the qualifications and independence of the Company's external public accounting firm (the "Independent Auditor"), and the Independent Auditor. The Committee shall also prepare the report of the Committee required to be included in the Company's annual report or proxy statement relating to the election of directors.

The Board recognizes that while the Committee has been given certain duties and responsibilities pursuant to this Charter, the Committee is not responsible for guaranteeing the accuracy of the Company's financial statements or the quality of the Company's accounting and financial reporting processes. The fundamental responsibility for the Company's financial statements and disclosures rest with management and the Independent Auditor.

Composition and the Committee

The Committee shall be comprised of three or more directors, each of whom meets the independence requirements of the NASDAQ Stock Market ("NASDAQ") and otherwise satisfies the applicable requirements for audit committee service imposed by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (together with the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the "Exchange Act") and NASDAQ; provided that the Board may elect to take advantage of any exception from such requirements provided by NASDAQ rules.

At least one member of the Committee shall be an "audit committee financial expert" in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and at least one member (who may also serve as the audit committee financial expert) shall have accounting or related financial management expertise, past employment experience in finance or accounting, requisite professional certification in accounting or other comparable experience, or background that leads to such financial sophistication. The designation or determination by the Board of a person as an audit committee financial expert will not impose on such person individually, on the Committee, or on the Board as a whole, any greater duties, obligations or liability than would exist in the absence of such designation or determination. All other Committee members shall be financially literate and able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, including the Company's balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement. To effectively perform his or her role, each Committee member will obtain an understanding of the detailed responsibilities of Committee membership as well as the Company's business, operations and risks.

Committee members shall not simultaneously serve on the audit committees of more than two other public companies unless the Board determines that such simultaneous service would not impair the ability of such director to serve effectively on the Committee. No Committee member shall have participated in the preparation of the Company's or any of its subsidiaries' financial statements at any time during the past three years. Determinations as to whether a particular director satisfies the requirements for membership on the Committee shall be made by the Board.

Committee members shall be appointed by the Board, shall serve for such terms as the Board may determine, or until their earlier resignation, death or removal, and may be removed by the Board in its discretion.

Meetings

The Committee shall meet with such frequency and at such intervals as it determines necessary to carry out its duties and responsibilities, but in any case, not less than once per fiscal quarter. The Board shall designate one member of the Committee to serve as its chairperson. The chairperson will preside, when present, at all meetings of the Committee. The Committee will meet at such times as determined by its chairperson or as requested by any two of its members. Notice of all Committee meetings shall be given, and waiver thereof determined, in accordance with the notice and waiver of notice requirements applicable to the Board. The Committee may meet by telephone, video conference or similar means of remote communication.

Each member of the Committee shall have one vote. Presence by at least two-thirds of the Committee's members shall constitute a quorum. The Committee shall be authorized to take any permitted action only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Committee members at any meeting at which a quorum is present, or by the unanimous written consent of all the Committee members. Consent by email shall constitute written consent, provided that such consent is thereafter ratified and confirmed in a signed writing.

The Committee shall maintain copies of minutes of each meeting of the Committee, and each written consent to action taken without a meeting, reflecting the actions so authorized or taken by the Committee. A copy of the minutes of each meeting and all consents shall be placed in the Company's minute book.

Delegation

The Committee may form and delegate authority to subcommittees consisting of one or more members when it deems appropriate, including the authority to grant pre-approvals of audit and permitted non-audit and tax services, provided that decisions of such subcommittee to grant pre-approvals and take any other action shall be presented to the full Committee at its next scheduled meeting.

External advisors

The Committee shall have the sole authority to obtain, at the Company's expense but at funding levels determined by the Committee with notification to the full Board of Directors, advice and assistance from outside legal, accounting or other advisors to assist with the execution of its duties and responsibilities as set forth in this Charter. The Committee shall also have authority to obtain advice and assistance from any officer or employee of the Company and to require any officer or employee of the Company or the Company's outside counsel or Independent Auditor to attend a meeting of the Committee or to meet with any members of, or advisors to, the Committee. The Committee shall have full, unrestricted access to Company records.
