Qianhai Court Orders That Wang and Zhang –
Who Were Terminated by the Company’s Recently Reconstituted Board
of Directors – are Prohibited From Using Corporate Chops and
Business Licenses
Nam Tai Property Inc. (NYSE: NTP) (“Nam Tai” or the “Company”)
today announced that the Shenzhen Qianhai Cooperation Zone People’s
Court (the “Court”) has granted its subsidiary’s request that Wang
Jiabiao and Zhang Yu – who were terminated by the Company’s
reconstituted Board of Directors – be prohibited from using the
corporate chops and business licenses of Nam Tai Investment
(Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. (“Nam Tai Investment”), a wholly owned
indirect subsidiary of the Company, during ongoing litigation. Mr.
Wang and Ms. Zhang, who are long-standing affiliates of Kaisa Group
Holdings Limited (“Kaisa”) and have spent the last seven months
purporting to represent Nam Tai Investment, will be restricted from
dissipating assets of Nam Tai Investment and entering into new
corporate arrangements on behalf of Nam Tai Investment.
Michael Cricenti, Nam Tai’s Chairman, commented:
“We thank the Court for carefully assessing our request and
ultimately coming to a decision that protects Nam Tai’s rights and
supports local stability. This injunction will restrict Mr. Wang
and Ms. Zhang from continuing to prioritize Kaisa Group over the
Company, its employees and the communities it is investing in
across China. Moreover, it represents a meaningful step toward Nam
Tai obtaining on-shore control. We will continue to do whatever is
necessary to put Nam Tai on a path to long-term growth and
sustained value creation.”
