LAVAL, QC, March 30 /CNW Telbec/ - 20-20 Technologies Inc. (TSX:TWT) ("20-20" or the "Company") announced today its 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 April 1st, 2011.

Under the Bid, the Company may repurchase for cancellation up to 946,089 common shares. This represents approximately 5% of its 18,921,792 issued and outstanding common shares as of March 29, 2011. These purchases will be made in accordance with applicable regulations over a maximum period of 12 months beginning on April 1st, 2011 and ending on March 31st, 2012. The average daily trading volume of 20-20's common shares over the six (6) calendar months prior to the date hereof was 7,232. Accordingly, the Company is entitled to purchase, on any trading day, up to 1,808 common shares. The consideration that the Company will pay for any common shares acquired by it under the Bid will be paid in cash at the market price of such common shares at the time of acquisition. The Company did repurchase 6,800 common shares during the last twelve months, in accordance with a duly authorized Normal Course Issuer Bid, for a weighted average price of $3.74.

As market forces may, from time to time, undervalue shares of the Company, it is the opinion of 20-20's Board of Directors that the purchase of 20-20's own shares by the Company may be an appropriate use of its cash resources in light of the Company's fundamentals and future prospects.
