          On February 10, 1999, The Chairman of the Board of Directors of Peak
International Limited, a Bermuda company, ("Peak") sent notice of a special
general meeting to Peak's shareholders.  Pursuant to that notice, the meeting is
to be held at 9:00 a.m. (Hong Kong time) on March 1, 1999 at 20/th/ Floor,
Alexandra House, 16-20 Charter Road, Central, Hong Kong.  The first item of
business at the meeting will be the amendment of Peak's Bye-laws to allow
removal of a director from office by a simple majority vote of Peak's
shareholders, rather than a 75% vote, as is currently required.  The second item
of business at the meeting will be a vote upon the removal of Richard Brook from
Peak's Board of Directors.

          The Chairman indicated that he intends to vote all of his shares in
favor of both items, each of which will require a simple majority to pass.

          The notice specified that shareholders could vote in person, or by
proxy, but that Peak would not be soliciting proxies and a form of proxy would
not be sent to the shareholders.

          Concurrently, Peak gave the shareholders formal notice of the special
general meeting by mail, in accordance with Peak's Bye-laws and with applicable
Bermuda law.

          Peak is a leading supplier of precision engineered packaging products
for the storage, transportation, and automated handling of semiconductor devices
and electronic components.

          Peak files the following exhibit as part of this Report:

          Exhibit 99.1   Copy of the Notice of Special General Meeting, dated
     February 10, 1999, issued by Peak, giving notice of the matters stated
     therein.

          Exhibit 99.2   Copy of the Letter from the Chairman, dated February
     10, 1999, sent by T.L. Li.

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that a special general meeting (the "Meeting") of Peak
International Limited (the "Company") will be held at 20th Floor, Alexandra
House, 16-20 Chater Road, Central, Hong Kong on 1 March, 1999 at 9:00 a.m.
(Hong Kong time) for the purpose of considering and, if thought fit, passing
the following resolutions:
 
1. THAT bye-law 86(4) of the Company's bye-laws be deleted and the following
   bye-law substituted therefor:--
 
  "86(4).  The Members may, at any general meeting convened and held in
  accordance with these Bye-laws, by a resolution which has been passed by a
  majority of the votes cast by the Members having a right to attend and vote
  at such meeting remove a Director at any time before the expiration of his
  period of office notwithstanding anything in these Bye-laws or in any
  agreement between the Company and such Director (but without prejudice to
  any claim for damages under any such agreement) provided that the Notice of
  any such meeting convened for the purpose of removing a Director shall
  contain a statement of the intention so to do and be served on such
  Director fourteen (14) days before the meeting and at such meeting such
  Director shall be entitled to be heard on the motion for his removal."
 
2. THAT Richard Brook be and is hereby removed as a director of the Company
   with immediate effect.
 
By Order of the Board
 
Chairman
 
Dated: 10 February, 1999
 
Notes :
 
(i)    A member of the Company entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting is
       entitled to appoint a proxy to attend and vote instead of him. A proxy
       need not be a member of the Company. Completion and return of a form of
       proxy does not preclude a member from attending and voting at the Meeting
       in person.
 
(ii)   To be valid, a form of proxy for the Meeting, together with the power of
       attorney or other authority (if any) under which it is signed (or a
       certified copy thereof), must be deposited with Mr. David Lamb at Conyers
       Dill & Pearman at 3408, Two Exchange Square, 8 Connaught Place, Central,
       Hong Kong not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding
       the Meeting and in default the proxy shall not be treated as valid.
 
(iii)  In order to amend bye-law 86(4) and in order subsequently to remove
       Richard Brook as a director, the resolutions must be passed by a simple
       majority of votes cast by members attending and voting (in person or by
       proxy) at the Meeting. All of the shares of Mr. T. L. Li (which
       represent a majority) will be voted in favour of the amendment to bye-
       law 86(4) and the subsequent removal of Richard Brook as a director.
 
(iv)   In the case of joint holders of a share, the vote of the senior who
       tenders a vote, whether in person or by proxy, shall be accepted to the
       exclusion of the vote(s) of the other joint holder(s) and for this
       purpose, seniority shall be determined by the order in which the names
       stand in the Register of Members of the Company.
 
(v)    Pursuant to bye-law 45 of the Company's bye-laws, the Board of Directors
       has set 2 February, 1999 (4:00 p.m. New York time) as the record date for
       the Meeting. Only members whose names and addresses appear in the
       Register of Members on that date will be entitled to receive notice of
       and attend and vote at the Meeting.

To the shareholders
Dear Sir or Madam,
 
                       NOTICE OF SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING
 
The Directors of the Company have convened a special general meeting (the
"Meeting") to be held at 9:00 a.m. (Hong Kong time) on 1 March, 1999 at 20th
Floor, Alexandra House, 16-20 Chater Road, Central, Hong Kong and you are
cordially invited to attend.
 
The first item of business to be transacted at the Meeting will be to amend
bye-law 86(4) of the Company's bye-laws to enable any Director to be removed
from office by a simple majority vote of the shareholders rather than a 75%
vote as is currently required.
 
The Directors of the Company believe that such an amendment to the bye-laws of
the Company is in the best interests of the Company as it will give
shareholders a greater degree of control over the Directors of the Company and
hence make the Directors more accountable to the shareholders. The Directors
of the Company approved the amendment at a board meeting held on 2 February,
1999.
 
Shareholders will also be asked to consider and vote upon the removal of
Richard Brook as a Director of the Company. This follows the termination of
his employment contract and his appointment as President and Chief Executive
Officer of the Company on 2 December, 1998.
 
In order to amend bye-law 86(4) and in order subsequently to remove Richard
Brook as a director, the resolutions must be passed by a simple majority of
votes cast by shareholders attending and voting (in person or by proxy) at the
Meeting. I intend to vote all of my shares (which represent a majority) in
favour of the amendment to the bye-laws and the subsequent removal of Richard
Brook as a director.
 
Although shareholders may, if they wish, appoint a proxy to attend and vote on
their behalf at the Meeting, the Directors of the Company are not soliciting
proxies and a form of proxy has not been sent to shareholders.
 
Yours faithfully,
 
T. L. Li
Chairman
