Tecnomen Lifetree Corporation       STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE                      
                                    6 October 2009 at 7.00 pm                   


TECNOTREE TO START PERSONNEL CONSULTATION IN IRELAND                            

Tecnotree announces that it is considering a proposed reduction in its workforce
in the Irish subsidiary Tecnotree Ltd based in Shannon, County Clare, due to    
reduction in demand and global economic conditions. Current estimates expect a  
personnel reduction in Ireland of up to 80 personnel.                           

The situation is therefore one of potential collective redundancies and the     
company, with a view to reaching an agreement, will begin a consultation process
over the coming days with the representatives of the employees for 30 days as   
required under The Protection of Employment Acts 1977 to 2007 and Redundancy    
Payments Acts 1967 to 2007.
