<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">On
December&nbsp;1, 2009, Northern Technologies International Corporation (&#147;NTIC&#148;)
notified The Nasdaq Stock Market,&nbsp;Inc. (&#147;Nasdaq&#148;) that Mr.&nbsp;Mark M.
Mayers, an independent director and a member of the Audit Committee and
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of NTIC, passed away on November&nbsp;30,
2009, and that as a result, NTIC was no longer in compliance with Nasdaq
Listing Rule&nbsp;5605(b)(1), which requires NTIC&#146;s Board of Directors to
consist of at least a majority of independent directors (as defined by Nasdaq
Listing Rule&nbsp;5605(a)(2)).&#160; NTIC
currently has eight directors, only four of which have been determined by NTIC&#146;s
Board of Directors as &#147;independent directors&#148; within the meaning of Nasdaq
Listing Rule&nbsp;5605(a)(2). In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule&nbsp;5605(b)(1)(A),
NTIC has a &#147;cure period&#148; of until the earlier of its next annual meeting of
stockholders or November&nbsp;30, 2010 to regain compliance with rule; provided,
however, that if the annual stockholders meeting occurs no later than 180 days
following the event that caused the failure to comply with the requirement,
NTIC instead has 180 days from such event, or until June&nbsp;1, 2010, to
regain compliance.&#160; NTIC&#146;s next annual
meeting of stockholders is currently scheduled to be held on January&nbsp;28,
2010.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The
Board of Directors recently appointed Soo-Keong Koh, an existing independent
director, to serve on NTIC&#146;s Audit Committee and Pierre Chenu to serve on NTIC&#146;s
Compensation Committee.&#160; NTIC&#146;s Board of
Directors also has a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, consisting
of all independent directors, which is in the process of evaluating potential
candidates and expects to appoint a new independent director prior to the
expiration of the cure period to fill the vacancy on the Board of Directors.</font></p>

with Nasdaq Listing Rule&nbsp;5605(b)(1)&nbsp;and confirming that NTIC must
regain compliance with this requirement by June&nbsp;1, 2010.&#160; As required by Nasdaq listing rules, NTIC

notice, which press release is filed as Exhibit&nbsp;99.1 hereto and is

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt .0001pt;"><b><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-weight:bold;">MINNEAPOLIS,
Minn. (December&nbsp;1, 2009)</font></b><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;"> &#151; Northern Technologies International Corporation
(NASDAQ: NTIC) today announced the passing of Mark M Mayers on November&nbsp;30</font><font size="1" style="font-size:6.5pt;position:relative;top:-3.0pt;">th</font><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&#160;after a valiant battle with cancer.&#160; Mr.&nbsp;Mayers had been a director of NTIC
since November&nbsp;2004.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">G. Patrick Lynch, President and Chief Executive Officer
of NTIC said, &#147;It is a very sad time at NTIC. Mark had a very special impact on
the Company and all of its employees.&#160; He
will be deeply missed.&#148;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">As a result of Mr.&nbsp;Mayers death on November&nbsp;30,
2009, NTIC received a written notification from the staff at The NASDAQ Stock
Market (&#147;Nasdaq&#148;) that since Mr.&nbsp;Mayers was an independent director, NTIC&#146;s
Board of Directors is no longer comprised of a majority of independent
directors as required by Nasdaq Listing Rule&nbsp;5605.&#160; NTIC currently has eight directors, only four
of which qualify as independent directors.&#160;
In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule&nbsp;5605(b)(1)(A), NTIC has a &#147;cure
period&#148; of until the earlier of its next annual meeting of stockholders or November&nbsp;30,
2010 to regain compliance with rule; provided, however, that if the annual
stockholders meeting occurs no later than 180 days following the event that
caused the failure to comply with the requirement, NTIC instead has 180 days
from such event, or until June&nbsp;1, 2010, to regain compliance.&#160; NTIC&#146;s next annual meeting of stockholders is
currently scheduled to be held on January&nbsp;28, 2010.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Mr.&nbsp;Mayers served on NTIC&#146;s Audit Committee and
Compensation Committee.&#160; The Board of
Directors recently appointed Soo-Keong Koh, an existing independent director,
to serve on NTIC&#146;s Audit Committee and Pierre Chenu to serve on NTIC&#146;s Compensation
Committee.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">NTIC&#146;s Board of Directors also has a Nominating and
Corporate Governance Committee, consisting of all independent directors, which
is in the process of evaluating potential candidates and expects to appoint a
new independent director prior to the expiration of the cure period to fill the
vacancy on the Board of Directors.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt .0001pt;"><i><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-style:italic;">Statements contained in this press release that are not historical
information are forward-looking statements as defined within the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such can be identified by words such
as &#147;expect,&#148; &#147;anticipate,&#148; &#147;estimate,&#148; &#147;will,&#148; &#147;would,&#148; or words of similar
meaning and any other statements that are not historical facts. Such
forward-looking statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations
of NTIC&#146;s management and are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties that
could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected or
implied.&#160; Such potential risks and
uncertainties include, but are not limited to, in no particular order: NTIC&#146;s
ability to find and appoint a new independent director prior to the expiration
of the Nasdaq cure period; NTIC&#146;s dependence on the success of its joint
ventures and technical fees and dividend distributions that NTIC receives from
them; NTIC&#146;s relationships with its joint ventures and its ability to maintain
those relationships; risks associated with NTIC&#146;s international operations;
exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; the current
financial crises affecting the U.S. and worldwide banking system and financial
markets; contraction of the U.S. and worldwide economies, including in
particular the U.S. automotive industry; the level of growth in NTIC&#146;s markets;
NTIC&#146;s investments in research and development efforts; acceptance of existing
and new products; increased competition; the success of NTIC&#146;s emerging
businesses; the costs and effects of complying with changes in tax, fiscal,
government and other regulatory policies, including rules&nbsp;relating to
environmental, health and safety matters, NTIC&#146;s reliance on its intellectual
property rights and the absence of infringement of the intellectual property
rights of others, the ability of NTIC&#146;s lender to declare outstanding
indebtedness immediately due and payable and current and potential litigation.
More detailed information on these and additional factors which could affect
NTIC&#146;s operating and financial results is described in the company&#146;s filings
with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its most recent annual
report on Form&nbsp;10-K. NTIC urges all interested parties to read these
reports to gain a better understanding of the many business and other risks
that the company faces. Additionally, NTIC undertakes no obligation to publicly
release the results of any revisions to these forward-looking statements, which
may be made to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date hereof
or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.</font></i></p>
