NORWALK, CT., November 2, 2009 - Trans-Lux Corporation (NYSE Amex: TLX), a
leading supplier of programmable electronic information displays, today
announced that President and Chief Executive Officer Michael R. Mulcahy has
decided to retire due to health and personal reasons on December 31, 2009.  The
announcement was made by Trans-Lux Board Chairman Gene Jankowski, who said the
Board would direct the search for Mr. Mulcahy's successor.

"Mike Mulcahy epitomizes the Trans-Lux 'can do' spirit," Mr. Jankowski noted.
"For more than 40 years, he has provided leadership at every level of our
organization, and we wish him a satisfying, well-deserved and healthy
retirement."

Mr. Mulcahy joined Trans-Lux in 1967 and has contributed to the success of the
company in key positions in field service, project management and sales as well
