2007 Acquisitions

Sale of E-One Sale Process: Sold to American Industrial Partners ("AIP"), a leading middle market private equity firm, for a stated purchase price of $20 million, subject to working capital and other adjustments AIP chosen at conclusion of 8-month sale process involving 6 initial bidders. Financial Implications: Divestiture ends operating losses totaling $35 million over past 18 month period, while avoiding costly shutdown alternative. Federal Signal extracted $36 million of working capital in 9 months leading up to transaction close-6/30 balance was below the 100-month low AIP retained vast majority of liabilities associated with installed firetruck base. Based on successful liquidation of working capital prior to close, ultimate cash received from AIP expected to approximate $5-9 million Future Outlook: E-ONE will remain a customer of FSS for lights and sirens, articulated aerial devices and other products Divestiture of E-ONE expands markets for lightbars, sirens, aerial devices previously limited by competitive dynamics
