Here is what Clark Street Value has to say about Nam Tai Property Inc. in its Q4 2021 investor letter:

“The only previously undisclosed holding I have are some recklessly speculative near term call options in Nam Tai Property (NTP).  Nam Tai has a long history, it pivoted from an electronics manufacturer to a property developer when Shenzhen experienced exploding growth.  IsZo Capital won their year long legal fight against prior management, they’ve put out a number of $40/share in intrinsic value, the stock trades at $11/share after prior management experienced a margin call and DB foreclosed on their shares.  IsZo by contrast has been adding to their stake.  There’s a lot of risk here, China real estate is obviously shaky, excuse my gambling, again its a personal account, don’t recommend this for others.”
