Press Release Summary = CAPE TOWN, South Africa - Leatt Corporation (Pink Sheets: LEAT.PK), a Nevada, USA Corporation headquartered in Cape Town, South Africa, that develops, sells and distributes the Leatt-Brace™, a Neck Brace system designed to
help prevent potentially devastating motor sport injuries to the cervical spine (neck), today announced that it will be collaborating with BMW and KTM on a cervical spine protection system for the sports motorcyclist.

Press Release Body = BMW Motorrad and KTM are seeking to develop an adequate system of protection for the neck, the cervical spine, the spinal cord and the collarbone in the event of a serious motorcycle fall. Leatt-Brace™ prototypes have undergone extensive testing at BMW’s testing facility in Munich, Germany. The Leatt Corporation believes that a neck protection system of this kind will benefit not
only the enduro motorcyclist and rally biker, but also the motorcyclist in everyday traffic situations, and will represent a great step forward in the area of passive safety. According to BMW Motorrad, testing of the brace has produced excellent results. Consequently, experts at BMW Motorrad Accident Research regard the prototype as having a huge safety potential.

“Motorcycle sport should be safer and we wish to make a contribution in achieving this”, explains Dr. Herbert Diess, Head of BMW Motorrad, while commenting on the decision to dedicate a substantial degree of attention to this subject. He continues: “The concept is extremely promising. If this system continues to live up to our expectations, I can well envisage us putting it into production.”

“I am very pleased with the relationship that is developing between BMW, KTM and the Leatt Corporation, the global distributor of the Leatt-Brace™,” said, Dr. Leatt, C.E.O. of the Leatt Corporation. He added: “With all of us working together collectively, I feel that the brace will find its way into the market much faster and I have hope that lives will be saved sooner, rather than later, as a direct
result of this collaboration.”

There can be no assurances that the foregoing testing will lead to any formal business relationship between BMW/BMW Mottorrad and the Leatt Corporation or between KTM and the Leatt Corporation, or that the developments described herein will produce any revenues or profits for the Leatt Corporation.

About The Leatt Corporation: The Leatt Corporation is the exclusive global distributor of the Leatt-Brace™, a Neck Brace designed to prevent or lessen the severity of potentially devastating motor sport injuries to the cervical spine (neck).
