           CalAmp Announces Amendment to Bank Credit Agreement


OXNARD, Calif., February 29, 2008--CalAmp Corp. (NASDAQ: CAMP), a leading
provider of wireless products, services and solutions, today announced the
amendment of its credit agreement with the Bank of Montreal and other
financial institutions.

As previously disclosed, the net loss CalAmp reported in its first quarter
of fiscal 2008 for the period ended May 31, 2007 caused the Company to
become noncompliant with the financial covenants under the original bank
credit agreement, which was comprised of a term loan and a $10 million
working capital revolver. As a result, CalAmp has been restricted from
borrowings under the working capital revolver pending receipt of a waiver
from the lenders and/or an amendment of the original credit agreement.

Under the terms of the amended credit agreement announced today, the lenders
have agreed to waive the financial covenant violations that existed for the
first three quarters of fiscal 2008. In addition, financial covenants
contained in the original credit agreement, including a fixed charge
coverage ratio, a leverage ratio and minimum net worth requirement, have
been eliminated and replaced with new covenants that require minimum levels
of consolidated EBITDA and Wireless DataCom Division revenues. The amendment
also makes available new borrowings of up to $1 million under the working
capital revolver, while cash proceeds of $3.5 million from the August 2007
sale of CalAmp's TelAlert software business previously held in escrow, will
be applied to principal of the term loan. The remaining balance of the term
loan is approximately $27.5 million after giving effect to the application
of the funds in escrow.  The credit agreement as amended will have a
maturity date of June 30, 2009, with financial incentives to repay all
borrowings by December 31, 2008.  The reader is referred to a Form 8-K that
will be filed shortly with the Securities and Exchange Commission for a more
complete description of the terms and conditions of this credit agreement
amendment.

"Completing this amendment to our credit agreement improves our near-term
financial and operational flexibility as we execute our strategy to return
CalAmp to profitability," said Rick Vitelle, CalAmp's Chief Financial
Officer.
