Pacific Safety Products Inc. Completes Gator Hawk Asset Acquisition

Market Wire, May, 2007

Pacific Safety Products Inc. (TSX VENTURE: PSP) ("PSP" or "the Company") announced today that it has completed its previously announced acquisition (the "Acquisition") of the assets of Gator Hawk Armor Inc. ("Gator Hawk") for consideration of approximately USD$3.85 million. As announced previously, Thomas "Scotty" Wylie will immediately join PSP as President of Gator Hawk and the PSP operations in the U.S.A.

David Scott, CEO of PSP, stated, "We are very excited about the addition of the Gator Hawk brand and products to our armor portfolio. Gator Hawk has a well-earned reputation for being customer-focused and a quality supplier. With the full complement of armor products and the distribution sales network of Gator Hawk in the U.S.A., PSP expects to leverage this into improved results in both market penetration, sales growth and fiscal performance. Scotty Wylie has played a critical role in establishing the Gator Hawk brand and we are very much looking forward to working with him in his new role."

Closing of the Acquisition was subject to U.S. Federal Court approval in connection with receivership proceedings of one of Gator Hawk's preferred shareholders. The required Court approval of the Acquisition was received on April 25, 2007, thereby facilitating completion of the Acquisition by the original anticipated deadline of April 30, 2007.

Financing for the Acquisition was obtained in part by way of a private placement offering of subscription receipts ("Subscription Receipts") exchangeable for common shares of the Company ("Common Shares") upon the completion of the Acquisition. The Gator Hawk purchase price consideration of USD $3.85 million was funded by a combination of USD $3,465,000 in cash and USD $385,000 in Common Shares of PSP valued at CAD$1.00 per share. In addition to the purchase price, the agreement includes an "earn-out" of up to USD $300,000 based on certain revenue targets of the Gator Hawk product line being achieved in fiscal 2008.

As the Acquisition has now closed, a total of 4.5 million Subscription Receipts will be automatically exchanged for Common Shares. These Common Shares will be issued and recorded today on the register of PSP's Common Shares and will be subject to a hold period expiring on July 28, 2007. Pursuant to the Acquisition asset purchase agreement (the "Asset Purchase Agreement"), the Common Shares issued to Gator Hawk as part of the Acquisition purchase price are subject to a 12-month escrow period as collateral security for certain potential contractual breaches under the Asset Purchase Agreement.
