Savaria Corporation ("Savaria") (TSX:SIS), the second largest company in the
accessibility equipment industry in North America today announced that it has
received Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") approval to a Notice of Intention to
implement a normal course issuer bid. According to the notice, Savaria intends
to purchase for cancellation, in accordance with the requirements of the TSX, up
to 1,118,060 common shares, representing 5 % of the 22,361,219 common shares
that are issued and outstanding as of November 24, 2009.


The average daily trading volume ("ADTV") of Savaria's common shares over the
last six completed calendar months was 1,526. According to the TSX requirements,
Savaria is entitled, on any trading day, to purchase up to 1,000 common shares.
Once a week, in excess of the daily 1,000 repurchased limit, Savaria may also
purchase a block of shares not owned by an insider (i) having a purchase price
of $200,000 or more, (ii) of at least 5,000 shares having a purchase price of at
least $50,000, or (iii) of at least 20 board lots of shares which total 150% or
more of the ADTV.


The normal course issuer bid will begin on December 3, 2009, and will run until
the earlier of the date on which purchases under the bid have been completed and
December 2, 2010. These purchases are to be made through the facilities of the
TSX in accordance with its requirements on normal course issuer bids. The price,
which Savaria will pay for any common shares, will be the market price at the
time of acquisition plus brokerage fees.


An independent valuation of the fair market value of the common shares of
Savaria ("Valuation") has been prepared by the firm Burkman Capital Corporation
("BCC"), as of June 25, 2009, in the context of an Offer to purchase for cash.
Subject to the assumptions, limitations, restrictions and the scope of BCC's
work as set out in the Valuation, BCC concluded that in its opinion, the fair
market value of 100% of the issued and outstanding common shares as at the
Valuation date is in the range of $21,200,000 to $24,500,000 or $0.78 to $0.91
per common share. A copy of the Valuation may be obtained on request from Mrs.
Helene Bernier, VP Finance of Savaria, 2724 Etienne-Lenoir Street, Laval,
Quebec, H7R 0A3, Telephone: 1-800-931-5655. Also, a copy of the Valuation is
being filed on SEDAR under Savaria's profile.


Savaria has purchased 475,400 of its common shares at a weighted average price
of $0.70 within the last twelve months pursuant to a normal course issuer bid
which began on November 6, 2008 and terminated on November 5, 2009.


Savaria believes that the purchase of its shares makes appropriate use of its
available cash, and therefore, that the issuer bid is in the best interests of
Savaria and its shareholders.
