Resolutions were passed at meetings of the Boards of Directors of KDDI Corporation (hereafter "KDDI") and Chubu Electric Power Company, Inc. (hereafter Chubu Electric) held on January 25, 2008, agreeing on the conclusion of a share transfer agreement for a partial transfer of shares in Chubu Telecommunications Co., Inc. (hereafter CTC) from Chubu Electric to KDDI on April 1, 2008. The details of this agreement are presented below.
With this share transfer, CTC will become a subsidiary of KDDI.
KDDI and Chubu Electric are committed to using their combined management resources to create a more solid foundation for their telecommunications business in the Chubu Region, enabling the provision of highly convenient telecommunications services that are responsive to customer needs. KDDI believes that the share transfer will enable the company to use the operating base established by CTC (customer base, infrastructure, etc.) to further extend its telecommunications business in the Chubu Region. Chubu Electric is confident that the expansion of CTC will enable it to make an even greater ongoing contribution to the Chubu Region in the field of telecommunications.
KDDI will acquire 1,660,709 shares in CTC held by Chubu Electric (80.5% of the company's total shares).
On the day of the share transfer, rights and obligations in respect of telecommunications lines used in CTC's business operations will be transferred from CTC to Chubu Electric through spin-off.
