Zareba Systems Announces Discontinuance of Sales of Rutland Professional Gate Opening Systems Products and Resignation of W. John Frederick, Executive Vice President, Sales and Business Development

MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Zareba Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:ZRBA) today announced that it will discontinue sales of its Rutland Professional Gate Opening Systems products. The Company stressed that it will continue to sell and support its Zareba Systems brand of do-it-yourself automatic gate openers through existing retail channels.

“We made the difficult decision to exit the professionally installed gate operator market segment,” said Dale Nordquist, president and CEO of Zareba Systems. “This will allow us to better focus on our strengths in the do-it-yourself gate opener market and on the opportunities we have in our core business of electric fencing for animal control and in our electronic perimeter protection business.”

The Company will make various organizational changes because of the decision, including reducing personnel primarily associated with the support of the Rutland Professional Gate Opening Systems business.

In a related development, W. John Frederick, Executive Vice President, Sales and Business Development, resigned from the Company, effective June 27, 2008. Mr. Frederick’s duties included the Rutland Professional Gate Opening Systems business. The Company has no current plans to seek a replacement.

Mr. Nordquist said, “We thank John for his years of service to Zareba Systems and wish him well in his future endeavors.”
