National Technical Systems Sends Letter to Shareholders

National Technical Systems, Inc. NTSC today announced that it is sending a letter to its shareholders from the Company's Board of Directors and senior management team in connection with the Company's Annual Meeting of Shareholders scheduled for Tuesday, September 27, 2011. The Board of Directors and senior management team of NTS strongly urge shareholders to re-elect its experienced and highly-qualified directors -- John Gibbons, Robert Lin, and Norman Wolfe -- by voting the WHITE proxy card by telephone, Internet or mail today. In the letter, NTS noted, among other things: Both the Company's Board of Directors and management are fully committed to achieving the goals of increased shareholder value and liquidity in the near term. The current NTS management team has produced a record $144.1 million in revenues in fiscal year 2011, up nearly 75% since the end of fiscal year 2006. The Company is executing on its expansion through acquisition strategy, as demonstrated by the recent Mill Road and Ingenium Testing transactions. The Company has made every effort to negotiate a fair resolution with a dissident group, led by former NTS Chairman Jack Lin, Ph.D., but Dr. Lin has decided instead to pursue his own, self-interested agenda. Jack Lin has used the threat of the proxy contest in an attempt to regain a position of power at the Company and extract personal financial gain at the expense of shareholders. The election of the dissident nominees to the Board would have a disruptive effect on NTS and its management team.
