CSI Wireless Raises $4.3 Million

CSI Wireless and its GPS and wireless product lines received a vote of confidence during very tight capital markets, in the form of a $4.3-million cash injection from various investors.

CALGARY, Alberta, Canada - Nov. 22, 2002 - (TSX:CSY): CSI Wireless Inc., a leading provider of advanced wireless and GPS technologies for the automotive, commercial and consumer markets, is pleased to announce that it has successfully closed an offering of 3,287,309 Units. The Units were issued at a price of $1.30 per Unit for gross proceeds of approximately $4.3 million.

Each Unit is comprised of one CSI common share and one-half of one warrant to purchase a CSI common share. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to acquire one common share at a price of $1.80 per share until February 23, 2004.

The financing was completed through a syndicate of investment dealers led by CIBC World Markets Inc. and including National Bank Financial Inc., Acumen Capital Finance Partners Limited and Research Capital Corporation.

CSI intends to use the proceeds to pay down debt and for working capital purposes to fund the general growth of its business.
