WESTWOOD, Mass., July 25, 2007: LoJack Corporation, the leading provider of recovery systems for stolen mobile assets, today announced that the Massachusetts Appeals Court ordered that the judgment in favor of LoJack in its breach of contract suit against Clare, Inc., a subsidiary of IXYS Corp., be vacated and that a new judgment be entered in LoJack's favor in the amount of $805,000 plus statutory interest from April 12, 2003, the initial filing date of the action, for a total of approximately $1.2 million.

LoJack believes that the Appeals Court's decision and analysis resulting in the reduction of the $6 million award, inclusive of statutory interest, from which the appeal was taken by both parties is flawed in several respects.

LoJack will seek discretionary appellate review from the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court.
