ProPhotonix Limited

("ProPhotonix" or "the Company")

Three-Year Framework Product Supply and IP Agreement with a Global Technology Group

ProPhotonix Limited, (London Stock Exchange - AIM: PPIX; OTC: STKR), a designer and manufacturer of LED illumination systems and laser diode modules with operations in Ireland and the United Kingdom, is pleased to announce the entering into of a three-year framework product supply and intellectual property ("IP") agreement with a European based global technology group (the "Agreement"), an existing ProPhotonix customer. 

Pursuant to the Agreement, ProPhotonix will supply a custom LED illumination system, including hardware and software, featuring unique design attributes to allow for real-time high-speed inspection of manufactured products with irregular optical properties.

The Agreement runs for three years, with renewal provisions thereafter, unless otherwise terminated pursuant to various provisions of the Agreement. Whilst the Agreement does not stipulate or require that the customer makes any purchases, ProPhotonix anticipates that system revenue could equate to approximately $0.7 million per annum bringing the total anticipated annual revenue from this customer to approximately $1.2 million.

Commenting on the Agreement, Tim Losik, President and CEO of ProPhotonix stated:

"The Agreement is the second such agreement with this customer with whom we have a five-year relationship. The project, from start to completion has taken two years and is now commercially available. The system allows our customer, along with their integrated system and software, to perform inline product inspection with immediate feedback to the start of their production process. Every engineering discipline at ProPhotonix including optics, electronics, mechanics, materials, software and manufacturing, participated from concept to commercialization, such capabilities setting us apart from our competitors. The commercial evolution with this customer is typical of how ProPhotonix partners with customers, to provide them with all their product and service requirements. With over 25 years' experience in custom LED and laser module design, ProPhotonix delivers solutions across a wide range of industries including the industrial (sorting and inspection), dental, medical, and ultraviolet (UV) curing industries."
