CHARLOTTE, Mich., June 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Spartan Motors, Inc.
(Nasdaq: SPAR) launched a new “digital roadshow” this week to present the

“Our new Roadcast presentation is intended to provide stakeholders with a
beyond-marketing perspective of Spartan Motors,” said John Sztykiel, president
and CEO of Spartan Motors. “The presentation provides insight into who we are
in today’s marketplace, where we’re going, how we intend to get there, the
competitive landscape of each of our lines of business and an inside look at
our facilities, processes and people. In addition, portions of the Spartan
Roadcast presentation will be updated quarterly to ensure the most current
information is available. We encourage all of Spartan’s stakeholders – from
our associates to investors to customers – to view our Roadcast presentation
and learn more about how Spartan is transforming the world through specialty
vehicles.”

This release contains forward-looking statements, including, without
limitation, statements concerning our business, future plans and objectives
and the performance of our products. . Forward looking statements are
identifiable by words such as “believe,” “expect,” and “sustain.” These
forward-looking statements involve certain risks and uncertainties that
ultimately may not prove to be accurate. Actual results and future events
could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. All
dividends are considered and declared by the board of directors in their
discretion. Technical complications may arise that could prevent the prompt
implementation of the plans outlined above. The company cautions that these
forward-looking statements are further qualified by other factors including,
but not limited to, those set forth in the company’s Annual Report on Form
10-K filing and other filings with the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission
(available at http://www.sec.gov). Government contracts and
subcontracts typically involve long payment and purchase cycles, competitive
bidding, qualification requirements, delays or changes in funding, extensive
specification development and changes, price negotiations and milestone
requirements. An announced award of a governmental contract is not equivalent
to a finalized executed contract and does not assure that orders will be
issued and filled. Government agencies also often retain some portion of fees
payable upon completion of a project and collection of contract fees may be
delayed for long periods, which can negatively impact both prime contractors
and subcontractors. The company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or
revise any statements in this release, whether as a result of new information,
future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
