Canadian Forces to Receive Additional Force Protection Vehicles

  
    
  
  
    
      Force Protection, Inc. (NASDAQ: FRPT) today announced that it has 
      received a modification under contract M67854-07-C-5039 for the delivery 
      of 14 of its Buffalo A2 route-clearance vehicles and 34 of its Cougar 
      vehicles to the Canadian Government. The undefinitized contract 
      modification carries a dollar value not to exceed $49.4 million and 
      includes vehicles, spare parts and field support. The vehicles are 
      scheduled for delivery in 2009.
    
    
      This represents the second order for Force Protection vehicles by the 
      Canadian Government. In 2007, Force Protection delivered five Buffalo 
      and five Cougar vehicles for the Canadian Expeditionary Force Command.
    
    
      Michael Moody, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Force Protection, 
      stated, “Our NATO allies continue to face threats from roadside bombs, 
      landmines and many other types of improvised explosive devices. We are 
      delighted that the Canadian military will be receiving this life saving 
      equipment for use in supporting their operations in the global war on 
      terror. This order further solidifies our belief that the Cougar and 
      Buffalo are proving to be the most survivable, sustainable vehicles on 
      the battlefield. We are very pleased that the Canadian government has 
      chosen to procure additional vehicles from Force Protection.”
