The total number of issued shares of TCL Communication is 2,827,500,000 shares, of which Nam Tai is holding 254,475,000 shares ("the Shares"), representing 9% of the total issued shares of TCL Communication. According to the TCL Communication Prospectus, there is no lock up period or restriction on disposal of the Shares. The stock code of TCL Communication on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange is 2618 and the trading of shares of TCL Communication is due to commence on September 27, 2004. Since the listing of shares of TCL Communication is by way of introduction, there are no new shares being issued or sold in connection with the listing, and therefore there is no dilution to Nam Tai's original stake in TCL Communication. The share price of TCL Communication will be determined by market forces when it begins trading on September 27, 2004. In addition to its 9% interest in TCL Communication, Nam Tai also has a 3.69% interest in TCL Corporation, the parent company of TCL Communication. TCL Corporation became a listed company in January, 2004 and its shares are traded as "A" shares on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange of the People's Republic of China. Although trading above our original investment value, the gains from the TCL Corporation investment have not as yet been reflected in Nam Tai's accounts. Nam Tai is pleased to see the Shares in TCL Communication become freely tradable securities on The Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Nam Tai is confident that its strategic association with the TCL Group of Companies will bring a positive investment return for the Company, as well as foster a closer business relationship between the two groups.
