TRM Awarded Photocopier Agreement with
Jean Coutu USA/Eckerd Drug for over 1,500 Locations

Portland, Oregon: 14 December 2004 — TRM Corporation (NASDAQ: TRMM) announced today that it has entered into a long term agreement with Eckerd/Brooks Pharmacy, a subsidiary of Jean Coutu USA, to operate TRM Convenience Copy Centers in each of its 1,549 locations, including more than 1,300 locations that Jean Coutu USA recently acquired through their acquisition of Eckerd Drug.

The multi-year transaction, which includes a complete service and maintenance solution, builds upon the existing 200 Eckerd Drug installations TRM currently has in place. “At Eckerd Drug and Brooks Pharmacy we are focused on providing quality, value-added services for our customers and TRM has proven to be a strong partner in helping us to achieve that goal,” said Tony Sadler, VP Operations Services for Eckerd/Brooks Pharmacy. Deployment will begin immediately and is expected to be complete by the end of Q2 2005.

“Complementing the growth that we have experienced throughout our international ATM network, this new deployment provides meaningful support for our Photocopy division,” said Tom Mann, Chief Operating Officer for TRM. “Transactions such as this will enable TRM to maintain its position as a leader in the North American retail marketplace.”
