FZN Cuisine Solutions

Cuisine Solutions, Inc. (AMEX:FZN), a leading premium, fully-cooked, frozen food manufacturer, today announced that its Board of Directors yesterday authorized the repurchase, from time to time without prior notice, based on business conditions, of up to 3.0 million shares of the Company's common stock over the next three years. This new authorization is effective immediately and permits repurchases in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The repurchases will be used to offset dilution from the Company's employee equity plans and for potential future acquisitions. Repurchases will be in compliance with Securities and Exchange Commission guidelines, subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements and other factors. Cuisine Solutions has no obligation to repurchase shares under the repurchase program and the timing, actual number and price of shares to be purchased will depend on the performance of the Company�s stock price, general market conditions, and other factors within the discretion of management. The Company had 17.6 million shares of common stock outstanding as of November 20, 2008. Assuming that shares were repurchased on November 20, 2008, the repurchase program represents approximately 17% of the Company's outstanding stock. "This stock repurchase program demonstrates our confidence in the growth of Cuisine Solutions," said Stanislas Vilgrain, Chief Executive Officer and President of Cuisine Solutions. "We believe that the repurchase program underscores our commitment to increasing stockholder value."
