Dear Valued Suppliers,
Subject: Business Combination Between Meadvilles PCB Business and TTM Technologies, Inc.
I am delighted to inform you of an important and exciting new development at Meadville. We have
just announced that subject to the closing of the transaction, our PCB business will be combining
with TTM Technologies, Inc., North Americas largest PCB manufacturer by revenue and a listed
company on NASDAQ. Our Groups founder and largest shareholder, Mr. Tang Hsiang Chien through his
representatives will remain closely involved with the newly combined business. With this business
combination (expected to complete in the first quarter of 2010), Mr. Tang will, through his
company, become a substantial shareholder of TTM.
TTM is North Americas largest PCB manufacturer and a leading supplier of PCB and backplane
assemblies and specializes in the high-end commercial and aerospace / defense markets, including
networking and communications infrastructure, computing, industrial and medical markets. The
combination of TTM and Meadvilles PCB businesses will create one of the worlds leading PCB
business, with strong PCB production and R&D capabilities in both North America and the Asia
Pacific region. We will be able to offer an integrated global sales and production solution and
with our global presence, local knowledge strategy, we will become even more competitive.
At the same time, Meadvilles laminate business will be sold to another company owned by Mr. Tang.
Upon completion of the two transactions which are conditional on each other, Meadville proposes to
delist from the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
The new combined business global headquarters will be in the U.S. and Asia headquarters in Hong
Kong. There will be no changes to our existing management team here in Asia and we will continue
to work closely with you as our valued supplier. We fully appreciate the contribution you have made
to the overall success of our business in the past and we look forward to continue working with you
even more closely in the future. We will keep you updated on the new developments at Meadville and
the new combined PCB business.
Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Raymond Cheng on (+852) 2660 3138 or visit
our website at http://www.meadvillegroup.com/announcements.html for more details.
Yours sincerely,
Tang Chung Yen, Tom
