BEIJING, June 21, 2011 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- China TransInfo Technology Corp. (NASDAQ: CTFO) ("China TransInfo" or the "Company"), a leading provider of comprehensive intelligent transportation solutions ("ITS") in China through its affiliate, China TransInfo Technology Group Co., Ltd. (the "Group Company"), today announced that Mr. Shudong Xia, the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, intends to make an additional purchase of up to $3 million of the Company's common shares in open-market transactions during the next twelve months, after having already purchased $2 million worth of stock year-to-date.

"Our stock price has recently declined dramatically, although we have seen no change in the fundamentals of our business or our markets.  This decline has made our company's shares significantly undervalued, in my opinion," said Mr. Shudong Xia, China TransInfo's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

The share purchases will be made in a manner consistent with China TransInfo's stock-trading policy and relevant securities laws.
