Catch the Wind Relinquishes Interest in Falcon Fifty LLC and Related Aircraft

Catch the Wind will mainly focus on Wwind Industry

CHANTILLY, VA, Oct. 26, 2011 - Catch the Wind Ltd. (TSX-V: CTW), providers of laser-based wind sensor products and technology, announced today that effective October 22, 2011, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Catch the Wind, Inc. ("CTW"), withdrew its membership in Falcon Fifty LLC, which was originally formed in September 2009 to acquire a Falcon 50 aircraft. As a result, the Company no longer has any interest in the aircraft.

"The mission of this Company is to become the premier provider of high-performance wind-sensing equipment to the wind turbine industry. The elimination of the corporate jet removes complexity from the Company and allows us to be more efficient with our cash, both of which are positive steps enabling us to execute more effectively," said Jo Major, interim CEO of Catch the Wind. "The timing of this action is right as the Company is progressing into commercial production commencing this quarter and expanding next quarter."

"This withdrawal will benefit the Company as it had been paying approximately $1.5 million a year for this aircraft. To fully understand all of the financial impacts, CTW requires access to information that is currently being withheld by Falcon Fifty LLC," said Susan Nickey, the Board member appointed to conduct an internal review of the financial impact of the aircraft to the Company.

In order to compel access to the necessary information and for other declaratory relief, the Company announced that CTW has filed a Complaint in the Delaware Chancery Court against Falcon Fifty LLC, Tristar Aviation LLC (Falcon Fifty LLC's sole member) and Tristar Aviation LLC's member and its owners, Phil and Alisa Rogers.
