    Admission of Unrestricted Stock

    OCZ Technology Group, Inc. ("OCZ" or "the Group", AIM: OCZ) a worldwide leader in innovative, ultra-high performance and high
reliability memory, PC components and system builds, announces that it has received applications to have the restrictive legend on
certificates representing 4,354,944 common shares in the issued share capital of OCZ ("Common Shares") removed. These shares will be
transferred to a new line of unrestricted shares and will be eligible to be held and transferred within the CREST system as depository
interests. 

    Application has been made for a total of 4,354,944 Common Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM under the new line and dealings are
expected to commence on AIM on 5 November 2008. Following admission of the Qualifying Shares, the Group will have 36,207,693 Common Shares
admitted to trading under the existing restricted line (ISIN number USU675091065) and 16,140,988 Common Shares admitted to trading under the
new unrestricted line within the CREST system (ISIN number US67086E1055).

    Holders of Common Shares are reminded that they should have received documentation from the Registrar detailing the procedure to have
the restrictive legend removed from certificates representing Qualifying Shares. If you hold Common Shares and have not received such
documentation, please contact the Registrar on [phone]. However, if your Common Shares are held on your behalf by a nominee or
broker, you should contact such nominee or broker. The removal of the restrictive legend and the establishment of the depository interest
facility is intended to enhance the liquidity in the trading of the Common Shares and allow investors who may have previously had difficulty
in dealing, to deal more easily.
