Noble International Enhances Corporate Governance

WARREN, Mich., June 30 -- Noble International, Ltd. ("Noble", the "Company" or "Corporation") announced today that its Board of Directors approved several changes to its Bylaws to advance its corporate governance. On June 24, 2005, Noble's Board amended the Corporation's Bylaws to reduce the minimum number of Board Members from the current level of nine (9) to seven (7) and eliminate the staggered election of members of the Board of Directors. In addition, to reflect Noble's revised management structure, the Board also modified its Bylaws to allow for the discretionary election of a Chief Operating Officer.

In connection with the reduction in the size of the Board of Directors, Dr. Anthony Tersigni, Mr. Daniel McEnroe and Dr. Stuart Greenbaum resigned from the Board of Directors. Their resignations created one vacancy, to which the Board of Directors unanimously agreed to appoint Mr. Christopher L. Morin to fill. Mr. Morin is currently the Company's Chief Executive Officer and President and has served the Corporation in various capacities since 1997. The resignations of Messrs. Tersigni, McEnroe and Greenbaum were related solely to the changes in the Company's Bylaws and were not the result of any disagreements between the individuals and the Company.

Noble's Chairman, Robert J. Skandalaris, commented "We thank each of our former directors for their service on our Board. Noble has been fortunate to have received their advice and counsel during their terms. Dr. Tersigni and Mr. McEnroe have been involved with the Corporation since its initial public offering and have helped guide Noble to its current state. Dr. Greenbaum's experience in the business and academic sector has also been invaluable to Noble as it has grown and evolved. I am pleased that Christopher Morin, our Chief Executive Officer, has been elected to the Board of Directors. His long service with Noble and extensive industry experience will make him a valuable addition to the Board."

Commenting further, Mr. Skandalaris stated, "As Noble has evolved into a more focused organization, we felt that reducing the size of our Board of Directors would streamline the decision making process as well as reduce the Corporation's Board-related compensation and expenses, while maintaining the independence and experience we value. Furthermore, the decision to return to the annual election of each Director reflects Noble's focus on corporate governance and enhancing stockholder value."
