Carroll Shelby Licensing Commences Termination Proceedings against Unique Motorcars.

GARDENA, Calif. -- Carroll Shelby Licensing Inc. (CSL), confronted with concerned customers and litigation involving failure to deliver the 1960s "Continuation" Shelby GT-350SR and GT-500E "Eleanor" vehicles being manufactured by its licensee, has commenced termination proceedings relating to its license agreements with Unique Motorcars Inc. CSL has placed Unique on notice of termination unless and until Unique, among other things, satisfies existing customer complaints, delivers the vehicles previously promised to its customers and develops a feasible financial plan.

"Carroll Shelby Licensing has had no choice but to give Unique notice that its license agreements with Shelby are subject to termination," said John Luft, President of CSL. "We, as the licensor, must carry the burden of protecting the goodwill associated with the Shelby brand, which Carroll Shelby has spent over 50 years building and protecting. Carroll Shelby Licensing must be proactive in enforcing its rights and remedies under all its license agreements, including its agreements with Unique."
