Management Development

The Board of Directors is pleased that it has been able to recruit and appoint Mr. Warren Lee as Nam Tai’s new Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”). However, Nam Tai has not yet recruited a suitable individual to serve as the Company’s new Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”). As announced on January 10, 2006, Ms. Patinda Lei agreed to act as Nam Tai’s CEO and CFO, but such position was intended to be on an interim basis until December 31, 2006. Ms. Lei, Chairman of Zastron Precision-Tech Limited (“Zastron”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nam Tai, has been with Nam Tai for 17 years and is responsible for the growth of the flexible printed circuit business. The Board of Directors regards highly Ms. Lei’s performance in acting as group CEO and CFO, and has requested that she continue to act as CFO pending Nam Tai’s location and engagement of a new CFO. Ms. Lei has advised the Company’s Board that she is pleased to continue to serve as acting CFO and looks forward to the additional challenges and experience that she expects to gain by continuing in that position.

To support Ms. Lei in her dual role as Nam Tai’s group CFO and as Zastron’s Chief Executive Officer, which involves additional responsibilities of not only overseeing Zastron’s near- and long-term business, but also managing the implementation of its aggressive expansion plans that are currently targeted to occur in two China cities, the Board of Directors has requested that Mr. M.K. Koo, founder of Nam Tai, continue as Nam Tai’s non-executive Chairman and postpone his previously announced retirement from that position scheduled for December 31, 2006, until June 2007, when the Company holds its annual shareholders meeting. Mr. Koo

has responded positively to the Board’s request and plans to continue to support and help direct Nam Tai’s expansion plans as well as assist Ms. Lei in her position as group CFO. Because Mr. Koo has agreed to remain as non-executive Chairman, Mr. Charles Chu will not assume the additional duties of Chairman that he anticipated undertaking during the period between Mr. Koo’s scheduled retirement and Nam Tai’s next annual meeting of shareholders. He is remaining as a non-executive member of the Board of Directors

Mr. Koo has agreed to continue to serve as the Company’s non-executive Chairman until Nam Tai’s 2007 annual shareholders’ meeting, at which time he has advised that he currently plans to retire from the Company’s Board of Directors as was previously announced on August 1, 2006. The Company anticipates that the additional time between now and its 2007 annual meeting of shareholders will provide it with a better opportunity of locating and attracting a suitable candidate to serve as Nam Tai’s CFO.
