TABLE OF CONTENTS
Item 12. Exhibits
Exhibit 99.1
Attached are the Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders and preliminary Proxy Statement (collectively, the “Preliminary Proxy Statement”) for the annual meeting of shareholders of Image Sensing Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) to be held on May 20, 2009, which contains a proposal submitted to the Company’s shareholders to approve a voluntary stock option exchange program (the “Option Exchange Program”). The Preliminary Proxy Statement does not constitute an offer to holders of the Company’s outstanding stock options to exchange those options. The Option Exchange Program will only be commenced, if at all, if shareholders approve the proposed Option Exchange Program.
The Option Exchange Program described in the Preliminary Proxy Statement has not commenced and will not commence unless the requisite shareholder approval is obtained at the Company’s 2009 annual meeting of shareholders. Even if the requisite shareholder approval is obtained, the Company may still decide later not to implement the Option Exchange Program. The Company will file a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) upon the commencement of the Option Exchange Program. Persons who may be eligible to participate in the Option Exchange Program should read the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO, including the offer to exchange and other related materials, when those materials become available because they will contain important information about the Option Exchange Program. The Company’s shareholders and option holders will be able to obtain these written materials and other documents filed by the Company with the SEC free of charge from the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
