CONTENTS

The Board of Directors of Nam Tai Property Inc. (the “Company”), a company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, is providing the following updates.

Interim Preservation Order

As previously disclosed, on April 23, 2021, the arbitrator in the ongoing arbitration in Hong Kong (the “Hong Kong Arbitration”) granted Greater Sail Ltd. (“GSL”) an interim preservation order requiring, among other things, that the Company not dissipate the funds held by Triumph Commitment (Hong Kong) Limited (“Triumph”), a subsidiary of the Company, in its Hong Kong Credit Suisse account. On April 29, 2021, GSL obtained an order before the High Court of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Court of First Instance (the “Hong Kong Court”) enforcing the arbitrator’s interim preservation order. Such interim preservation order related to the previously disclosed 2020 private placement conducted by the prior management team of the Company.

On April 29, 2023, the arbitrator issued an order discharging the interim preservation order, effective as of May 8, 2023. However, the Hong Kong Court’s order remains in place.

GSL’s Applications

As previously disclosed, on April 6, 2023, the arbitrator issued a partial award in the Hong Kong Arbitration, dismissing all of GSL’s claims against the Company. The arbitrator also accepted some of the Company’s counterclaims. On April 20, 2023, GSL initiated proceedings before the Hong Kong Court to have the arbitrator’s partial award set aside.

Further, on April 20, 2023, GSL filed two additional applications before the Hong Kong Court. The first application requested that the Hong Kong Court maintain its April 29, 2021 order enforcing the arbitrator’s interim preservation order. The second application requested that the Hong Kong Court grant a new freezing order preventing the Company from dissipating its assets, including amounts held by Triumph in its Hong Kong Credit Suisse account, until GSL’s aforementioned application to set aside the arbitrator’s award is determined.

The initial hearing regarding GSL’s applications is scheduled for June 16, 2023.
