LOS ANGELES, CA , formerly Tag-It Pacific, Inc., a leading global supplier of zippers, apparel fasteners, trim and interlining products, announced it has notified the American Stock Exchange (the "AMEX") it intends to voluntarily remove its common stock from trading on the AMEX. The company is seeking to have the common stock trade on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB), as operated by the National Association of Security Dealers (NASD).

In May 2006, Talon was notified by AMEX that it was not in compliance with Section 1003(a)(i) and Section 1003(a)(ii) of the AMEX Company Guide, specifying required minimum shareholders' equity of at least $4.0 million. Following the notice from AMEX, the company was afforded an extension of time to comply with the requirement until November 16, 2007. The company has informed AMEX that it did not meet the minimum listing requirements as of the expiration of this extension. As a result of its failure to meet these minimum listing requirements, the company's Board of Directors determined it would be in the best interest of the company to voluntarily withdraw the listing of its common stock from AMEX.

Talon will file with the Securities Exchange Commission an application on Form 25 to withdraw its AMEX listing. Pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, which require that notice of intention to voluntarily withdraw from an exchange be given to the exchange at least 10 days before the filing of the Form 25, this application may not be submitted to the SEC before December 7, 2007, and will not be effective until 10 days after filing.

The company anticipates its shares will be eligible for trading on the OTCBB following the AMEX de-listing; however, no assurance can be made in this regard, as trading on the OTCBB depends upon the willingness of one or more brokers to make a market in the company's common stock. The company will continue to file reports with the Securities Exchange Commission as required by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Talon will announce the new trading symbols for OTCBB trading as soon as it has secured appropriate brokers to make a market in the company's stock and a trading symbol has been assigned.
