Talon International to Withdraw From American Stock Exchange; Plans to List on the OTC Bulletin Board

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.
