EXFO Renews Normal Course Issuer Bid

QUEBEC CITY, CANADA, November 6, 2009—EXFO Electro-Optical Engineering Inc. (NASDAQ: EXFO; TSX: EXF) announced today that its Board of Directors has authorized the renewal of its share repurchase program, by way of a normal course issuer bid (“NCIB”) on the open market, of up to 10% (2,256,431 subordinate voting shares) of the public float (22,564,311 subordinate voting shares) as defined by the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”).

EXFO had 22,749,965 subordinate voting shares outstanding on November 2, 2009. As of the date of this notice, EXFO has repurchased in the course of the previous renewal of its NCIB a total of 311,872 shares, being 273,600 shares on the TSX at an average amount of C$3.48 and 38,272 shares on the NASDAQ at an average amount of US$3.08. The previous renewal of the NCIB has been effective since November 10, 2008 and will expire on November 9, 2009. In addition, EXFO repurchased in December 2008, 7,692,307 shares in the course of a substantial issuer bid at an average amount of C$3.90.

The TSX has accepted a notice filed by EXFO of its intention to renew its NCIB. EXFO may use cash, short-term investments and future cash flows from operations to fund the repurchase of shares. Repurchases under the bid will be made on the open market, through the facilities of the TSX and NASDAQ Global Market, at the prevailing market price. The timing of such repurchases, if any, will depend on price, market conditions and applicable regulatory requirements.

The NCIB will become effective on November 10, 2009 and end on November 9, 2010 or on an earlier date if EXFO repurchases the maximum number of shares permitted. The average daily trading volume (ADTV) of EXFO’s subordinate voting shares was 54,999 on the TSX and 25,198 on the NASDAQ over the last six completed calendar months. Accordingly, EXFO is entitled to purchase up to 25% of the ADTV on any trading day (being 13,749 subordinate voting shares on the TSX and 6,299 subordinate voting shares on the NASDAQ). The program does not require the Company to repurchase a minimum number of shares and it may be modified, suspended or terminated at any time without prior notice. All shares acquired by EXFO under the bid will be cancelled.
