FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Zebra Technologies and Fargo Electronics
Terminate Acquisition Agreement and Tender Offer

Vernon Hills, IL, and Eden Prairie, MN, March 27, 2002—Zebra Technologies Corporation (Nasdaq: ZBRA) and Fargo Electronics, Inc., (Nasdaq: FRGO) today announced that the companies have mutually agreed to terminate the acquisition agreement whereby Zebra would acquire all outstanding shares of Fargo common stock (including associated rights to purchase preferred stock) for $7.25 per share in cash. The transaction has been under Hart-Scott-Rodino (HSR) antitrust review by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). Based on discussions with representatives of the FTC, Zebra and Fargo believe it is unlikely that the FTC will clear the transaction as currently proposed. After careful consideration, the management and board of directors of each company concluded that the likely time required and the uncertainty of reaching and implementing a solution acceptable to the FTC renders this transaction no longer in the best interests of the respective companies and their stockholders. Accordingly, the companies agreed to a mutual termination of their acquisition agreement. Neither party will pay a break-up fee.

        The acquisition was announced on July 31, 2001. A tender offer for all outstanding shares of Fargo stock commenced on August 3, 2001, and was most recently scheduled to expire at 5:00 PM, New York City time, on April 5, 2002. The tender offer has been terminated, effective immediately. None of the Fargo shares tendered in the tender offer will be accepted and paid for, and Zebra will promptly return all shares of Fargo common stock tendered and not withdrawn in the tender offer.
