Moog Announces Medical Devices Acquisition Closing

 
    EAST AURORA, N.Y., March 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Moog Inc. (NYSE:  
 MOG.A and MOG.B) (the "Company") announced today that it has completed the
 acquisition of ZEVEX International Inc. (Nasdaq:   ZVXI) for $83.8 million.
 ZEVEX is a manufacturer of medical devices headquartered in Salt Lake City,
 Utah. ZEVEX shareholders will receive $13 in cash for each share of ZEVEX
 common stock. As a result of this transaction, ZEVEX is now a wholly owned
 subsidiary of Moog. The Company used its revolving credit facility to
 finance the transaction.
     ZEVEX manufacturers and distributes a line of ambulatory pumps,
 stationary pumps, and disposable sets that are used in the delivery of
 enteral nutrition for hospital, nursing home, neonatal, and patient home
 use. In addition, ZEVEX designs, develops, and manufactures surgical tools
 and sensors, and provides engineered solutions for the medical marketplace.
 The Company employs a staff of 178 people.
     This acquisition expands Moog's participation in the medical devices
 market. In the fiscal year ending September 29, 2007, sales in Moog's
 Medical Devices segment will approach $65 million, including $25 million in
 ZEVEX sales over the next six months. Due to first-year purchase accounting
 adjustments, this acquisition will be neutral to Moog's earnings per share
 for FY 2007.
     "We're excited about having ZEVEX become part of our Company," said
 Robert T. Brady, Chairman and CEO. "We believe that ZEVEX brings an
 outstanding combination of personnel and products that further extend
 Moog's capabilities in the medical market, enabling us to continue growing
 this business."
     Moog Inc. is a worldwide designer, manufacturer, and integrator of
 precision control components and systems. Moog's high-performance systems
 control military and commercial aircraft, satellites and space vehicles,
 launch vehicles, missiles, automated industry machinery, and medical
 equipment.

 offer more favorable terms of sale, (vi) our significant indebtedness which
 could limit our operational and financial flexibility, (vii) the
 possibility that new product and research and development efforts may not

 cash funding requirements for pension plans, which could occur in future
