MISGAV, Israel, September 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Tefron Ltd. (OTC:TFRFF; TASE:TFRN), a leading producer of seamless intimate apparel and engineered-for-performance (EFPTM) active wear, announced today that the special committee that was appointed by the Company's board of directors following the resignation of Mr. Michal Korman has concluded its work. As announced on June 22, 2009, Mr. Korman raised claims regarding the conduct of management of the Company and the communication between management and the Company's board of directors.

The special committee examined management's projections for the budget for the year 2009 and the communication between management and the members of the Board of Directors. The special committee concluded that management's projections as presented to the Board of Directors were reasonable and were based on reasonable data. Nevertheless, the special committee recommended that, in the future, when presenting the annual budget to the board of directors for approval, management should present the range of projections that management considered in preparing the budget and address the differences between such projections. In addition, the special committee recommended that the Company's Board of Directors establish a policy for conveying information from management to the members of the Board of Directors (which would address, among other things, the manner in which the information is transferred, the timing for transfer of information and the type of information to be transferred), including updating members of the Board of Directors on an ongoing basis of any material changes that occurred in the condition of the Company.

The Company will submit an unofficial translation of the full report of the special committee on Form 6-K.
