UPDATE ON THE PUTATIVE CLASS ACTION AGAINST NAM TAI ELECTRONICS, INC.
District Court Denies Plaintiffs’ Motion for Class Certification

Macao, PRC — September 6, 2007 — Nam Tai Electronics, Inc. (“Nam Tai” or the “Company”) (NYSE Symbol: NTE) today announced that the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York had rendered a decision denying the plaintiffs’ motion for class certification.

As Nam Tai has previously reported and announced, the Company and certain of its directors are defendants in consolidated class actions entitled Rocco vs. Nam Tai Electronics et al., Lead Case No. 03- cv-01148-JES, originally commenced on February 20, 2003 and pending in the United States District Court in the Southern District of New York. The named plaintiffs purported to represent a putative class of persons who purchased the Company’s common shares from July 29, 2002 through February 18, 2003. The plaintiffs have asserted claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and allege that misrepresentations and/or omissions were made during the alleged class period concerning the partial reversal of an inventory provision and a charge to goodwill related to Nam Tai’s LCD Products segment. Lead Plaintiff Douglas Ward’s motion to certify his lawsuit as a class action and to designate him as Class Representative and for appointment of Class Counsel was heard by the Court on February 1, 2007 and the parties have been awaiting a decision from the Court on that motion since then. On August 21, 2007 , the Court denied the motion.

Douglas Ward has the right to proceed to prosecute the case as an individual claim or he can seek leave to appeal the decision of the Court. A conference with the Court has been scheduled for October 23, 2007. The Company plans to continue to provide updates of material developments in these proceedings as they occur.
