American Locker Announces Sale of Headquarters and Primary Manufacturing Facility

Grapevine, TX — September 10, 2009 —American Locker Group Incorporated (ALGI.PK) (“American Locker” or the “Company”), announced today that the Company has entered into a definitive agreement (the “Agreement”) to sell its headquarters and primary manufacturing facility (the “Facility”) to the City of Grapevine (the “City”). The Agreement ends two years of uncertainty surrounding the City’s announced intention to acquire the Facility by eminent domain, and will allow the Company to continue to focus its efforts on increasing shareholder value. The Agreement will allow the Company to continue to occupy and utilize the Facility through December 31, 2010. The sale is not expected to disrupt operations or production in any way.

The Company estimates the total value of the Agreement at $3,500,000. Under the Agreement, the City will pay a purchase price of $2,747,000. In addition, the Company will be entitled to continue to occupy the facility, through December 31, 2010, at no cost. The City has further agreed to pay the Company’s relocation costs within the Dallas-Fort Worth area and to pay the Company’s real property taxes for the Facility through December 31, 2010.

The Company will use proceeds from the sale of the Facility to repay mortgage indebtedness on the Facility and for general working capital purposes.

“This Agreement coupled with the restructuring undertaken by the Company in January 2009, will provided a solid foundation for the Company’s long term success,” said Paul M. Zaidins, American Locker’s President, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer.

The Company has recently begun marketing its excess metal fabrication and powder coating capacity as a contract manufacturing service to third parties. Contract manufacturing services are expected to contribute smaller gross profit margins than the Company’s branded products but will still be additive to gross profit dollars. The Company anticipates that contract manufacturing could account for a material portion of the Company’s revenue in the fourth quarter of 2009.
