CTG ANNOUNCES EXTENSION OF 10B5-1 PLAN TO FACILITATE SHARE REPURCHASES

BUFFALO, N.Y. — December 22, 2008 — CTG (NASDAQ: CTGX), an international information technology (IT) solutions and services company, today announced that it extended a stock repurchase plan under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Company 10b5-1 Plan”) to facilitate the repurchase of its common stock. The Company has approximately 0.3 million shares available for repurchase as of December 22, 2008 under its outstanding repurchase authorizations.

“We are extending our 10b5-1 plan originally implemented during 2007 as it gives us the ability to repurchase shares during our self-imposed blackout periods prior to the announcement of quarterly results,” said CTG Chairman and Chief Executive Officer James R. Boldt. “We also believe CTG’s shares remain attractively valued.”

The plan is being administered by Boenning & Scattergood, Inc. and is effective from January 5, 2009 until the day following the Company’s release of its 2008 year end financial results. CTG adopted the initial 10b5-1 plan on April 5, 2007 to allow for the repurchase of shares during the time following the close of a quarter and the announcement of quarterly financial results when its self-imposed stock repurchase policy does not allow for the direct purchase of shares by the Company. Repurchases are subject to SEC regulations as well as certain price, market, volume and timing constraints specified in the plan. The plan does not require that any shares be purchased.
