TASER International Authorizes Stock Buy-Back Program
for up to $12.5 Million of Company Stock

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., March 3, 2011 — TASER International, Inc. (NASDAQ: TASR), a global provider of safety technologies that prevent conflict, protect life and resolve disputes, today announced that the Board of Directors of TASER International, Inc. adopted a resolution approving a stock buy-back program authorizing the Company to purchase up to $12.5 million of the Company’s common stock subject to stock market conditions and corporate considerations.

“We believe that the Company’s strong cash position together with its cash generation capabilities, substantial growth prospects, and the fact that the current price of the Company’s common stock does not reflect the long-term value justify a stock buy-back program to return cash to stockholders,” stated Tom Smith, Chairman of the Board of TASER International, Inc. “As we continue to invest in our new business opportunities for that growth, the repurchase of our stock represents another attractive investment opportunity before us at this time. We are pleased that our sound balance sheet enables us to efficiently return capital to our stockholders. We believe that this stock buy-back will be accretive to earnings while simultaneously continuing our investment in long-term growth initiatives,” concluded Smith.
