LAKE FOREST, ILLINOIS, JANUARY 18, 2007 – Tenneco (NYSE: TEN) has been named a winner of a 2006 Global Automotive Shareholder Value Award, recognizing the company for delivering the highest shareholder return for automotive suppliers over the past three years.

The Automotive Shareholder Value Awards recognize the highest total shareholder return for automotive vehicle manufacturers, parts suppliers and automotive retailers over one-and three-year periods. Selection of the winners was based on calculation of Total Shareholder Return as determined by the PricewaterhouseCoopers Shareholder Value Indices. The indices take into account both rises and falls in a company's share price, dividends, share buy-backs and new share issues, and provide a measure of shareholder value for stock market listed companies.
Since January of 2000, the indices have been reported in Automotive News on a quarterly basis. Developed specifically for the automotive sector, they provide companies and industry analysts with information on relative returns.
