FOOSE DESIGN TERMINATES ALL LICENSING AND BUSINESS ACTIVITIES WITH
UNIQUE PERFORMANCE EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY

 

HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. (Nov. 9, 2007) - Foose Design announced today
that effective immediately it has terminated all licensing and all
business activities with Texas-based Unique Performance, Unique
Performance Concepts and related companies.  This termination includes
the limited production of all vehicles formerly licensed to Unique
including but not limited to, the Foose Mustang Stallion, Foose Camaro,
Foose Challenger, Foose Motorcycle and the sales and marketing of the
"Hemisfear", also known as the "Foose Coupe", manufactured by
Metalcrafters.  Foose Design has clearly stated that it no longer has
any affiliation with Unique, and encourages customers to understand that
Unique no longer has any rights to Foose intellectual property, the
Foose name, image, likeness, logos or designs regarding any project.

 

Chip Foose, the winner of an unrivaled three "Ridler" Awards, and the
Foose Design team have worked for more than eight months to resolve
issues relative to Unique's problems but ultimately found it necessary
to sever their relationship with Unique Performance.

 

Foose Design does not manufacture production vehicles rather it
specializes in designing and fabricating custom built, one-of-a-kind
custom cars. Foose Design created the concept for a prototype vehicle to
be built under its license to Unique.     

 

Chip Foose builds a special bond with every Foose vehicle owner and it
causes him great stress to see this situation occur.  Chip has worked
tirelessly through the years to build his company, brand and image,
which it works diligently to protect, both for itself and Chip's
collectors and fans. 

 

Foose Design is working with its legal staff to consider possible action
against Unique Performance.
