XPEL to Acquire Protex Canada

– Leading Paint Protection and Window Film Franchisor in Canada –

SAN ANTONIO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–XPEL Technologies Corp. (TSXV: DAP.U) has announced its intent to
acquire Protex Canada, the top franchisor for automotive paint
protection and window film in Canada. Protex Canada has over 75
franchise locations across 4 provinces, with origins in the window film
business dating back to 1989. XPEL currently supplies all window film
and paint protection products to Protex Canada franchisees under an
exclusive supply agreement.

Ryan Pape, President and Chief Executive Officer of XPEL, commented,
“Protex’s franchise model has been tremendously successful in Canada and
we look forward to helping drive that continued success. Protex will
continue to operate separately, with our support, under its very
experienced, dedicated management team. While the incremental revenue to
XPEL is not material, this acquisition is a natural extension of our
‘Get Close to the Customer strategy.”

Mr. Pape continued, “We continue to see strong demand for automotive
paint protection and window film in Canada and the Protex franchises
have been instrumental in driving and meeting that demand. Protex
franchises represent an important share of our Canadian revenue and this
will solidify our position as their supplier and increase our ability to
help grow the Canadian market.”

This acquisition is expected to close in December.
