Kanders Group Files Investor Presentation Related to Federal Signal Corporation Annual Meeting

Stamford, CT, April 7, 2009

Long-term Investors and Holders of 2.9% of Federal Signal’s Common Stock Urge Stockholders to Vote FOR the Kanders Group Nominees on the GOLD Proxy Card Today

Stamford, CT., April 7, 2009 -- Warren Kanders, Steven R. Gerbsman and Nicholas Sokolow (together the “Kanders Group”), announced that they have filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission supplemental proxy materials in connection with Federal Signal Corporation’s (NYSE: FSS) 2009 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

The Kanders Group filed an investor presentation in which it presented its credentials and the experience of its highly-qualified, independent nominees. They further detailed their position related to what they believed to be the continuing failure of the Board of Directors of Federal Signal to provide effective strategic guidance and oversight to management of the Company, and outlined the reasons they believe the Kanders Group nominees are better qualified to assist Federal Signal in achieving its potential. A copy of the Kanders Group’s presentation can be accessed at the Kanders Group website, www.readmaterial.com/kandersgroup , or at the website of the Securities and Exchange Commission, www.sec.gov.

Federal Signal stockholders of record as of the close of business on March 3, 2009 will be entitled to attend and vote at the April 29, 2009 Annual Meeting.

IMPORTANT

The Kanders Group urges you NOT to sign any white proxy card sent to you by Federal Signal. If you have already done so, you have every legal right to change your vote by using the GOLD proxy card to vote TODAY --by telephone, by Internet, or by signing, dating and returning the GOLD proxy card.
