Files Claim Alleging Greater Sail has Conspired with Terminated CEO Wang Jiabiao and Terminated NTI Supervisor Zhang Yu to Hinder a Transition of On-Shore Control

Shares Updates on Court Orders Handed Down on January 31, 2022, Including an Order Enjoining Greater Sail From Obstructing the New Board’s Efforts to Assume On-Shore Control

Nam Tai Property Inc. (NYSE: NTP) (“Nam Tai” or the “Company”) today provided updates pertaining to legal proceedings initiated last week in the British Virgin Islands (“BVI”) Commercial Division of the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court (the “Court”) against Greater Sail Limited (“Greater Sail”), a wholly-owned affiliate of Kaisa Group Holdings Limited (“Kaisa Group”) that is incorporated in the BVI:

• On January 26, 2022, Nam Tai filed a claim with the Court that alleges Greater Sail has been conspiring with Mr. Wang Jiabiao, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer and Nam Tai Investment (Shenzhen) Company Limited’s (“NTI”) former Legal Representative, and Ms. Zhang Yu, NTI’s former Supervisor, to frustrate the transition of control of the Company, its affiliates and its assets. In its claim, Nam Tai alleges that Greater Sail sent correspondence to authorities in China that constitute a malicious falsehood and/or the tort of causing loss by unlawful means under BVI law. Mr. Wang Jiabiao and Ms. Zhang Yu have a documented history of being employed by and affiliated with Kaisa Group, whose allies were removed from the Company’s Board at a special meeting of shareholders held on November 30, 2021. Mr. Wang Jiabiao and Ms. Zhang Yu were formally removed from their positions and terminated by Nam Tai’s reconstituted Board on December 1, 2021.

• On January 26, 2022, Nam Tai also filed an application for an injunction to compel Greater Sail to preserve relevant documents, withdraw objections made in correspondence to the authorities in China and stop all efforts aimed at preventing the Company’s new Board from assuming rightful control of affiliates and on-shore assets.

On January 31, 2022, the Court ordered the following:

1. Greater Sail must send letters to all of the Administration for Market Regulation's branches it has contacted in China to withdraw its objections to Nam Tai’s new Board assuming on-shore control through the appointment of new officers and representatives for its Chinese subsidiaries. The Court’s order stipulates that the letters must be sent by 4:00 PM local time on February 8, 2022. Additionally, the Court’s order states that duplicates of the letters must be provided at the same time to Nam Tai’s legal counsel in China.
   
   
   
   
2. Greater Sail is enjoined from hindering Nam Tai’s new Board from assuming control of the Company’s on-shore assets and properties. In addition, Greater Sail was ordered to provide copies of all correspondence sent to and received from the Administration for Market Regulation’s branches by February 15, 2022. Greater Sail must also file an affidavit laying out all oral communications with those branches by the same date.

Nam Tai’s Board will continue to provide updates pertaining to its litigation and efforts to hold Greater Sail, Kaisa Group, Mr. Wang Jiabiao and other unlawful actors accountable for their interference in the Company’s affairs. Nam Tai is represented in its ongoing actions by Ogier, with Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan LLP serving as special litigation counsel and Global Law Firm (also known as GLO) and JunHe LLP serving as local China legal counsel.
