Tenneco Inc. To Withdraw Pacific Exchange Listing
COMPANY RETAINS NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE LISTING
LAKE FOREST, ILLINOIS, DECEMBER 11, 2006 – Tenneco Inc. (NYSE: TEN) today announced plans to withdraw the listing of its common stock from NYSE Arca, Inc., formerly the Pacific Exchange. Tenneco's common stock will continue to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange, the Chicago Stock Exchange and the London Stock Exchange.

The withdrawal is expected to be effective within the next month.
Tenneco does not believe that withdrawing its listing from NYSE Arca will have any impact on the liquidity of its stock
