Man Sang Holdings, Inc. ("Man Sang Nevada") (NYSE Amex: MHJ), a Nevada corporation, announced that its previously announced special meeting of stockholders will be held at 10:00 a.m. (Hong Kong time) on August 25, 2009 at the offices of Man Sang Holdings, Inc., Suite 2208-14, 22/F, Sun Life Tower, The Gateway, 15 Canton Road, Tsimshatsui, Kowloon, Hong Kong SAR. At the special meeting, Man Sang Nevada's stockholders will consider a proposal to approve the dissolution and liquidation of Man Sang Nevada and the adoption of the agreement and plan of liquidation, in order to change its place of incorporation from Nevada to the British Virgin Islands.

The reorganization will be effected through the dissolution and liquidation of Man Sang Nevada pursuant to the terms of an agreement and plan of liquidation entered into with Man Sang International (B.V.I.) Limited ("Man Sang BVI"), an international business company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands and a wholly owned subsidiary of Man Sang Nevada. Under the agreement and plan of liquidation, Man Sang Nevada will be dissolved and liquidated and, at the effective time of the liquidation, Man Sang Nevada will distribute, on a share-for-share basis, 6,382,582 ordinary shares and 100,000 preferred shares of Man Sang BVI to its existing stockholders.

The dissolution and liquidation of Man Sang Nevada will result in the elimination of Man Sang Nevada as the holding company of our group, the number of Man Sang BVI ordinary shares and preferred shares to be held by stockholders of Man Sang Nevada will be the same as the number of shares of Man Sang Nevada common stock and preferred stock such shareholders hold immediately prior to the completion of the dissolution and liquidation, and Man Sang Nevada stockholders' relative economic ownership and voting rights will remain unchanged.

Under Nevada law, the dissolution and liquidation requires the affirmative vote of holders representing a majority of voting power of Man Sang Nevada's outstanding shares of common stock and Series A preferred stock entitled to vote. On August 3, 2009, the principal stockholders of Man Sang Nevada, Cheng Chung Hing, Ricky, Cheng Tai Po and entities affiliated with them, owned approximately 3,437,501 outstanding shares of Man Sang Nevada common stock and 100,000 outstanding shares of Man Sang Nevada preferred stock, which together represent the votes of 6,628,726 shares of Man Sang Nevada common stock, or 69.2% of the total voting power of Man Sang Nevada common stock and Series A preferred stock. The principal stockholders have agreed to vote their shares in favor of the dissolution and liquidation of Man Sang Nevada and the adoption of the agreement and plan of liquidation. The principal stockholders own sufficient numbers of shares of Man Sang Nevada common stock and preferred stock to approve the dissolution and liquidation of Man Sang Nevada and the adoption of the agreement and plan of liquidation.

In addition to stockholder approval, the reorganization is subject to other conditions specified in the agreement and plan of liquidation.

Man Sang BVI intends to apply to list its ordinary shares on the NYSE Amex stock exchange under the same symbol as Man Sang Nevada, effective upon the dissolution and liquidation of Man Sang Nevada. The preferred shares of Man Sang BVI will remain unlisted.
