SOUTHFIELD, Mich., March 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The Board of Directors of TechTeam Global, Inc. (Nasdaq: TEAM) said today that it has sent a letter to Costa Brava Partnership III, LP inviting Mr. Seth W. Hamot to designate two nominees to join management's slate of directors for the company's May 2006 annual meeting. TechTeam management also intends to nominate three new directors, including Chief Executive Officer William C.

Via Facsimile & U.S. Mail
Mr. Seth W. Hamot
Costa Brava Partnership III, LP
420 Boylston Street
Boston, MA 02116

Dear Mr. Hamot:

At the direction of the Board of Directors of TechTeam Global, Inc., I have been asked, as Chief Executive Officer of the company, to invite two of your designees to join management's slate of directors to stand for election at the next annual meeting of shareholders in May 2006. In addition to myself, the Board will add two new, highly qualified nominees to its slate, both of whom will be independent. With your two designees, the Board will have five new members out of seven that we believe can help this company move forward and execute on a unified strategy.

We share with you the same objective of maximizing shareholder value and believe that your two designees will add a positive and constructive voice that will help TechTeam move in that direction. You have voiced your concerns and exercised your rights as any shareholder should, and we have heard you and now invite you to participate in a unified slate.

With the annual meeting of shareholders quickly approaching, we must solidify our slate promptly. If you choose not to accept this invitation to be part of this new Board of Directors, please notify us by Tuesday, March 14, 2006. Should you decline this offer, we will make our formal announcement of this year's slate of directors which will include the three new members.

Again, I hope your two designees will join us as I look forward to working with them in the Boardroom toward the goal of maximizing the value of the Company for all TechTeam shareholders.

Sincerely,

William C. Brown
President & Chief Executive Officer
TechTeam Global, Inc.
