Tianyin Pharmaceutical declares quarterly cash dividend to common stock shareholders

Tianyin Pharmaceutical Co. Inc. (NYSE Amex: TPI), a developer, manufacturer and supplier of modernized traditional Chinese medicine ("TCM") and generic pharmaceuticals in China, today declared a quarterly cash dividend to be paid to its common stock shareholders. The dividend of $0.025 will be paid to shareholders of record as of October 30, 2009, with the actual distribution occurring on or about December 10, 2009.

In addition, Tianyin is now eligible to become an S-3 filer which is reserved for companies on a listed exchange that have filed all required reports on a timely basis during the past twelve months. This allows automatic updating of disclosure requirements with the 10-K or 10-Q filings and significantly reduces the costs and resource burdens on the company associated with filing post-effective amendments to the registration statement.

Dr. Jiang Guoqing, Tianyin's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We appreciate the continued support of our shareholders and believe that our strategy of providing a current return and potential capital appreciation resonates well with investors who are looking for growth and income. In addition, this S-3 eligibility will save the company money and resources to meet its filing requirements."
