ADVISORY...for Friday (April 6)

--(BUSINESS WIRE)

WHO: 101 Mitsubishi Junior Clippers kids (ages 5-18) will participate
     in a special basketball clinic at the STAPLES Center. These
     youth will receive instruction and conditioning tips from the
     Clippers players and coaches. Mitsubishi Motor Sales of America,
     Inc., Southern California's 21 Mitsubishi Motors Dealers and the
     Los Angeles Clippers are hosting the event.

     Clippers star guard Jeff McGinnis and Clippers coaches will also
     be in attendance.

WHAT:  The final clinic in a series of three, this special
       clinic at the STAPLES Center recognizes Mitsubishi
       Junior Clippers participants who are either leaders
       in sportsmanship on their respective teams or won
       the safety belt essay contest sponsored by
       Mitsubishi Motors.

       The Mitsubishi Junior Clippers program is a
       collaborative effort between Mitsubishi Motors, its
       21 Southern California Mitsubishi Motors Dealers,
       the Los Angeles Clippers and Los Angeles City
       Recreation and Parks (LACRP). This first-time
       program was designed to promote the fundamentals of
       basketball, sportsmanship, and athletics as an
       alternative to negative influences.

WHEN:  Friday, April 6, 4 - 5:45 p.m.,
       prior to the Clippers game against the Milwaukee Bucks

WHERE: STAPLES Center, 1111 South Figueroa Street, Los Angeles

WHY:  The clinic recognizes two cornerstones of the
      Mitsubishi Junior Clippers program; the importance
      of sportsmanship and seat belt safety. All youth
      participants were required to sign a contract
      agreeing to wear their seat belts every time they
      are in a vehicle in order to participate in the
      clinic.

NOTE: Stephanie Keefe, Mitsubishi Motors Corporate Relations
      Specialist, will be attending the event and will be happy
      to coordinate interviews, along with Denise Booth.
