NEWS RELEASE

 

                           For Immediate Release


Norsat Applies to Reprice March Warrants


(Vancouver, Canada)  November 7th, 2006 - Norsat International Inc. (TSX – NII.TO; OTC BB – NSATF.OB) announced today that it has applied to the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) for approval to amend the exercise price of each of the 3,065,232 common share purchase warrants issued in March 2006. The proposed amendment would reduce the exercise price of the warrants from US$0.75 to US$0.475 (the US dollar equivalent of the volume weighted average trading price of Norsat's common shares for the 5 trading days ended November 3, 2006). The amendment will take effect November 22nd, 2006, subject to receipt of the TSX approval. All other terms of the warrants will remain the same, including the expiry date of March 2008. None of the warrants are held by insiders of Norsat.


The application to re-price the warrants is pursuant to the terms of Norsat's March 2006 private placement financing. The Company had agreed with the holders of the warrants to use its best efforts to amend the exercise price of the warrants to any lower price at which Norsat may issue common shares during the two year term of the warrants. Norsat announced on October 26, 2006 that it had closed an unbrokered private placement of Units, comprised of convertible secured debentures and common share purchase warrants exercisable for 2 years at a price of US$0.45.
