TROY Group, Inc. Announces Special Cash Dividend

COSTA MESA, Calif., Nov. 18  /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- TROY Group, Inc. (Pink Sheets: TROY) announced today that its Board of Directors has declared a special cash dividend of $1.00 per share.  This special dividend will be payable on December 15, 2008 to stockholders of record on November 30, 2008.

Mr. Patrick J. Dirk, Chairman and CEO commented, "The Board of Directors has determined that the Company has adequate cash reserves and cash flow to allow it to provide additional value to stockholders in the form of a special dividend and at the same time continue to invest resources into the business. The Board also believes that this special dividend allows our stockholders to share in the continued cost-savings from the Company's deregistration and the sale of the financial services business earlier this year."

Mr. Dirk continued, "This special dividend should not be construed as a determination by the Board of Directors to pay regular dividends.  Any future consideration of dividends will be based on TROY's operating results, financial condition, cash requirements, future prospects and other factors."

The special cash dividend is expected to be fully taxable for U.S. income tax purposes.  Once a determination of tax status is determined, individual stockholders will be notified.
