News Report on TASER International, Inc.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., April 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — TASER International, Inc. (Nasdaq: TASR), a market leader in advanced less-lethal weapons, announced today that the Company has declared a 2-for-1 stock split effective in the form of a 100 percent stock dividend payable on or about April 29, 2004, to shareholders of record on April 15, 2004. Under the terms of this stock split, TASER International’s stockholders will receive a dividend of one share of common stock for every one share of common stock held on that record date. The dividend will be paid in authorized but unissued shares of common stock of the Company. The Company anticipates that the issued and outstanding shares of common stock after the split will be increased from approximately 14,160,806 shares to 28,321,612 shares.

“The Board of Directors has declared this 2-for-1 stock split to reduce the stock’s price per share and increase its market liquidity for the purpose of enhancing the securities’ appeal to both private and institutional investors,” said Rick Smith, CEO of TASER International, Inc.

Further “We are very concerned with the statements reported by CBS Evening News last night that there are TASER related fatalities. While there have been approximately 40 people who have died while in police custody after a TASER energy weapon was used to restrain them, in all of those cases where autopsy reports are available the medical examiners have not listed the TASER as the cause of death in even one instance. None of the medical examiners’ reports attributed the cause of death to the TASER energy weapon. We are always saddened with loss of a loved one for the grieving families, but all of the medical testing we have done and the tens of thousands of uses of TASER conducted energy weapons by Police have clearly established the medical safety of this product,” continued Smith.
