TORONTO, December 5, 2003—InterTAN, Inc.

In order to qualify, potential candidates must be Canadian residents, satisfy the New York Stock Exchange’s criteria for “independent directors” and not be related to or affiliated with any officer or director of the Company or certain other entities and individuals.

Any shareholder wishing to suggest candidates may contact Spencer Stuart at the email address: InterTAN@spencerstuart.com.
