while CFO Platt Adds COO Responsibilities

Santa Barbara, Calif. ─ March 5, 2007 ─ Network Hardware Resale (NHR), the leading
provider of pre-owned and new networking equipment, today announced a newly expanded
management team to fuel continued business growth, including the promotions of several key
executives as well as the appointment of a new general manager for Europe.

Glenn Fassett, a long-time NHR executive, has transitioned from the company’s European
headquarters to Singapore, where NHR is anchoring its new Asia-Pacific operation. As the new
general manager of Asia-Pacific, Fassett will leverage his international experience and
outstanding sales record to accelerate business throughout the region. In conjunction with this
move, NHR has welcomed onboard Robert Wolthuis, who succeeds Fassett in heading the
company’s European operations from its Amsterdam office. As the general manager of EMEA,
Wolthuis will apply his experience as a business entrepreneur, venture capitalist and investment
banker to sustain market momentum throughout Europe.

“We are thrilled that Glenn and Robert will be leading our international sales efforts as they
epitomize NHR’s unceasing mission to be the most trusted worldwide resource for pre-owned
networking equipment,” said Mike Sheldon, president and CEO of NHR. “Glenn has been an
outstanding asset in growing NHR’s business throughout Europe and is well-positioned to
oversee our emerging Asia-Pacific operations. Meanwhile, Robert brings a wealth of business
experience and international sales expertise to fuel our continuing EMEA growth.”

NHR also has announced that Bryan Siever has been promoted to general manager of the
Americas, following his tenure as the company’s vice president of sales. An industry veteran who
joined the company in 2005, Siever has more than a decade of sales management and
organizational development experience. Additionally, CFO Karen Anne Platt has added the duties
of chief operating officer to her responsibilities. A certified public accountant with more than two
decades of experience, Platt joined the company as CFO in 2000 and has played a major role in
guiding NHR’s financial growth and global business best practices.
