THIS STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is effective as of March 1, 2011 (the
“Effective Date”), between VIDEO DISPLAY CORPORATION, a Georgia corporation (“Seller”), and FI

WHEREAS, Seller owns all of the outstanding capital stock (the “Fox Shares”) of Fox
International Ltd., Inc., an Ohio corporation (“Fox”); and
WHEREAS, Seller wishes to sell to Purchaser, and Purchaser wishes to purchase from Seller, all
of the Fox Shares, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants and conditions contained
in this Agreement and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, adequacy and sufficiency
