ASV ANNOUNCES $10 MILLION SHARE BUYBACK PROGRAM
 
Grand Rapids, MN (May 24, 2006) — ASV, Inc. (Nasdaq: ASVI) announced today that its Board of Directors has approved the implementation of a share repurchase plan. Under this plan, ASV may repurchase up to $10 million of its common stock.
The Company anticipates share purchases will be made from time to time, depending on market conditions. Shares may be purchased in the open market, including block purchases, or through privately negotiated transactions. The Company does not intend to repurchase any shares from directors, officers or other affiliates of the Company. The repurchase program does not obligate ASV to acquire any specific number of shares and may be discontinued at any time.
Commenting on the repurchase program, ASV Chairman and CEO Gary Lemke stated, “Given the strong financial and cash position of the Company and the long term growth potential of the rubber track loader market, we believe our shares are undervalued in the marketplace. Because of this, we believe it is in the best interest of our Company and shareholders to implement this stock repurchase plan.”
The Company intends to fund the repurchases with available cash. The repurchase program is expected to be in effect through May 24, 2007, or until such amount of stock is repurchased.
