MODTECH CEO DAVID BUCKLEY SUBMITS RESIGNATION

Perris, Calif. — June 1, 2006—Modtech Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: MODT), a leading manufacturer of modular buildings for educational, commercial, and industrial applications, announced today that David Buckley has submitted his resignation as president and CEO of Modtech. He cited family and personal reasons for his resignation. Buckley will remain on the board of directors, and will work with the management team and the board to facilitate a smooth transition. Dennis Shogren, the company’s CFO since June 1, 2003, will assume the role of interim president and CEO.

“There are certain personal matters that make it important for my family to relocate to the Northeast region of the country,” said Buckley. “My departure from Modtech comes with many mixed emotions, because I am leaving a great team and a great company. We have worked hard as a team to get Modtech to the point it is today, and for this I am very proud. At the same time, it is important for my family to make this move at this time.”

Buckley continued: “I joined Modtech nearly two years ago with the desire to turn the business around and place Modtech at the front of the modular industry. As we reported in our last conference call, we feel that Modtech has progressed to the point where we are through the hardest parts of the turnaround and that the future of the company is very bright. I am confident that my departure will not adversely impact the business and that the momentum of the company will continue to build uninterrupted.”

Charles McGettigan, chairman of Modtech Holdings, stated: “David’s passion, vision, and energy have clearly enabled the company to achieve the turnaround. We are very appreciative of David’s efforts, and while David’s departure is distressing to everyone at Modtech, we understand David’s commitment to his family. We wish David every success in the future.”

McGettigan added; “We are very pleased with the progress that the Modtech management team has made in the past two years, and we are confident that the momentum the business has been gaining will continue unabated.”
