Trinity Biotech Management Refuses to Honor Call for a Special Meeting of Shareholders

Thomas Reidy, a member of the group, announced today that company management had advised him by letter dated November 5, 2008 that they would not call the special meeting as requested.

Commenting on Trinity Biotech's refusal to call the special meeting, Mr. Reidy stated that he was "disappointed but certainly not surprised" by the position taken by current management.
