Nam Tai Electronics, Inc. Announces Year 2007 Dividend Policy

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Nam Tai Electronics, Inc. ("Nam Tai" or the "Company") (NYSE: NTE) today announced that its Board of Directors has approved a change in the Company's dividend policy with effect from year 2007, in order to help fund its several ongoing expansion projects. These projects include the following:

- Vertical integration of its flexible printed circuit ("FPC") business

- New factory expansion (approximately 1.3 million square feet of land) in
an industrial park in Shenzhen, PRC

- Expansion to Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, PRC (pending local government's
final approval)

- Set up operation in Eastern Europe (under investigation)

The Company expects to make capital expenditures of over $260 million through the second quarter of 2010 for the above expansion projects. While the Company continues to concentrate on, and accelerate, its aggressive expansion strategy, the Board of Directors believes that long-term shareholder value can be best increased by reinvestment of cash flows into Nam Tai's business. Therefore, the Board of Directors has decided to change its dividend policy with effect from the first quarter of 2007.

Since 2005, Nam Tai's dividend policy has been to determine the amounts of its dividends after its year-end financial results are available from portions of two items of its operating results, specifically (1) two-thirds of its operating income for the reported year (the "Operating Income Portion") and (2) one-third of one-time other income in cash, if any, realized from gains on other income, less tax expenses, minority interest and any other item below operating income on Nam Tai's consolidated income statement for the reported year (the "One-time Cash Income Portion"). The Operating Income Portion was to be paid to shareholders as dividends in equal amounts following the end of each quarter of the year immediately after the year in which the operating income was earned (e.g., April 2005, July 2005, October 2005 and January 2006 for operating income reported for 2004). The One-time Cash Income Portion was to be paid to shareholders as dividends in equal amounts following the end of each quarter of each of the three years after the year in which the One-time Cash Income Portion was earned (e.g., April 2005, 2006 and 2007; July 2005, 2006 and 2007; October 2005, 2006 and 2007; and January 2006, 2007 and 2008 for the 2004 One-time Cash Income Portion).

As revised, Nam Tai's dividend policy is for its board of directors, after Nam Tai's year-end financial results are available, to declare a specific amount to be paid as dividends based on Nam Tai's operating income for the prior year, its then current and estimated future cash, cash flow and capital expenditure requirements at the time of the yearly declaration and such other factors as Nam Tai's board believes reasonable and appropriate to consider in the determination. The amount so declared is to be paid to shareholders as dividends in equal amounts following the end of each quarter of the year, or immediately after the year, in which the dividend was declared, as determined by Nam Tai's Board.

The revised policy will not affect dividends payable by Nam Tai either during 2006 based on the 2005 Operating Income Portion and the 2004 One-time Cash Income Portion or during 2007 based on the 2004 One-time Cash Income Portion. Under the revised policy, Nam Tai's board has decided to pay a dividend of $0.20 per share for 2006 to be paid in equal amounts following the end of each quarter of 2007.

The following tables indicate the transition to Nam Tai's revised dividend policy and reflect the per share dividend amounts payable in 2006 under Nam Tai's prior dividend policy and in 2007 under Nam Tai's revised dividend policy.

Under Nam Tai's revised dividend policy, the Board of Directors will determine and declare the amount of Nam Tai's dividend payable in 2008 based on its 2007 operating income, its current and estimated future cash, cash flow and capital expenditure requirements at the time of the yearly declaration and such other factors as Nam Tai's board believes reasonable and appropriate to consider in the determination and plans to announce the declared amount of that dividend in February of 2008. As it did when adopting Nam Tai's prior dividend policy, the Board of Directors reserves the right to adjust or further revise Nam Tai's dividend policy in the future in the event that the members believe that circumstances then existing require it.
