LAVAL, QC, Dec. 9 /CNW Telbec/ - 20-20 Technologies Inc, (the "Corporation") (TSX: TWT) announced today that it has the intention to purchase by way of a normal course issuer bid (the "Bid"), for cancellation purposes, some of its common shares through the facilities of the Toronto Stock Exchange, beginning on December 14, 2009.

Under the Bid, the Corporation may repurchase for cancellation up to 946,000 common shares. This represents approximately 5% of its 18,926,692 issued and outstanding common shares as of November 30, 2009. These purchases will be made in accordance with applicable regulations over a maximum period of 12 months beginning on December 14, 2009 and ending on December 13, 2010. The average daily trading volume of 20-20's common shares over the six (6) calendar months ending October 31, 2009 was 12,087. Accordingly, the Corporation is entitled to purchase, on any trading day, up to 3,021 commons shares. The consideration that the Corporation will pay for any common shares acquired by it under the Bid will be paid cash at the market price of such common shares at the time of acquisition. The Corporation did repurchase 20,600 common shares during the last twelve months, in accordance with a duly authorized Normal Course Issuer Bid, for a weighted average price of $1.267.

The Corporation believes that the purchase by the Corporation of its own shares may, in appropriate circumstances and in light of the current valuation of the Corporation, be a responsible investment of funds on hand.
