Nam Tai Property Inc. (OTC Expert Market: NTPIF) (“Nam Tai” or the “Company”) today provided the following corporate updates:

Director Resignations

Nam Tai’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) has accepted the resignations of directors Cindy Chen Delano, Leung Lin Cheong (Louis Leung), Zhou Chongqing and Mark Waslen. Mr. Leung’s resignation became effective on December 1, 2022. The resignations of Messrs. Waslen and Zhou and Ms. Delano became effective on December 12, 2022. There were no disagreements between the resigning directors and the Company or the Board on any matters relating to the Company’s operations, policies practices or any other matter.

Amendment to the Company’s Shareholder Rights Plan (the “Rights Plan”)

The Board has approved a second amendment to the Company’s Rights Plan, originally dated December 13, 2021, as first amended January 12, 2022. The Rights Plan was put in place to prevent any person or group from obtaining control of the Company without negotiating with the Board and providing an acceptable premium to all shareholders. Among other things, the triggering threshold has been decreased to 10%, from 20%, and the Expiration Time, as defined in the Rights Plan, has been extended to December 13, 2023, subject to extension by action of the Board or to an earlier expiration as described in the Rights Plan. Additionally, the qualified offer provision has been amended to include the defined term “Eligible Shareholders,” as defined in the Rights Plan.

The Rights Plan is similar to shareholder rights plans adopted by other publicly traded companies. The Rights Plan does not prohibit shareholders from requisitioning meetings, seeking changes to the composition of the Board or making other proposals pertaining to the Company. The Rights Plan was carefully crafted to protect shareholders’ rights in that it does not prevent the removal of any director and, under certain circumstances as provided in the Rights Plan, shareholders have the ability to direct the Board to redeem the rights in the event a qualified offer is made for all shares.

Additional details regarding the Rights Plan are contained in a Form 6-K that the Company has filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
