SINGAPORE, 4 September 2009 – Singapore Exchange Mainboard-listed InnoTek


Limited (“InnoTek” or “the Group”) announced today three senior appointments at its
wholly owned subsidiary, Mansfield Manufacturing Company Limited (“MSF”), as part of
the latter’s succession planning and efforts to sharpen customer focus.

Mr To Wai Hung, a major shareholder of InnoTek, will step down from the InnoTek
Board (and from its Executive Committee) and from his position as President of
Mansfield, a manufacturer of precision metal stamping, commercial tool and die
fabrication based in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) which he has led for more
than 30 years.

Apart from serving as Chairman of Mansfield Mr To – the Chairman of the Hong Kong
Tool and Die Association – will also assume the role as Advisor/Consultant for the
tooling business of Mansfield. As Chairman of Mansfield – a group with more than 15
subsidiaries, JV and associate companies in Hong Kong, PRC, Holland and the Czech
Republic – Mr To will be able to focus on strengthening relationships with existing
customers and establishing new customers.

Concurrent with his appointment, InnoTek also announced the appointments at


Mansfield of Mr. Lawrence Xia Lu Rong as Executive Director and President; and of Mr.
Ip Chi Chung (“C.C. Ip”) as Executive Director and Senior Vice President, Operations.

All the appointments take effect from 4 September 2009 and will allow Lawrence Xia and
C.C. Ip to play more pivotal roles in instituting vertical integration and further improving
operational efficiencies to take Mansfield to the next stage of its growth.

“The senior appointments will provide Mansfield with greater depth at its board level,
smooth succession transition, and greater focus on customer relationship by Mr To in his
position as Chairman,” said Mr Robert Lette, Chairman of InnoTek.

“With his industry knowledge and wealth of experience, Mr. To will be able to guide
Lawrence and C.C. – who already possess proven experience and strong management
depth – in their added responsibilities,” said Mr Lette.

The Board of InnoTek Limited would also like to thank Mr To for his contributions to the
InnoTek Board and to congratulate the new management team of Mansfield on their
respective appointments.

For the quarter ended 30 June 2009 (“2Q’09”) InnoTek’s net profit after tax rose to S$4.4
million from S$0.2 million a year earlier. The 32-fold increase in profit was achieved
despite a marginal decline in revenue to S$93.1 million from S$93.9 million, recorded by
Mansfield which posted a net profit of S$7.0 million in 2Q’09, up from S$0.4 million.

For the six months ended 30 June 2009 InnoTek’s net profit rose 31.4% to S$3.6 million
from S$2.8 million, as revenue declined to S$176.7 million from S$201.9 million due to
lower stamping and assembly sales due to lower global demand for flat panel TVs.
