NTT DoCoMo Dissolves Capital Tie-Up with KPN Mobile
TOKYO, JAPAN, October 24, 2005 — NTT DoCoMo, Inc. announced today it has transferred its interest in Dutch telecommunications company KPN Mobile N.V. (KPNM) to KPNMs corporate parent, Koninklijke KPN N.V. (KPN), while continuing the licensing of its i-mode® technology to KPNM.
Under the agreement, in connection with DoCoMos transfer of its KPNM shares (approximately 2.16% of KPNMs outstanding shares), KPN has agreed to cooperate with DoCoMo in the smooth operation of the global i-mode alliance, through the use of KPNs i-mode-related patents and know how, for example, and has paid DoCoMo five million euros.
E-Plus Mobilfunk GmbH & Co. KG (E-Plus), KPNMs German subsidiary, has been providing i-mode service in Germany since March 2002. In November 2004, DoCoMo also concluded an agreement with British operator O2 plc (O2). Based on this agreement, O2s German subsidiary, O2 (Germany) GmbH & Co. OHG (O2 Germany), will launch a mobile data service under its own brand name in 2006. DoCoMo believes that the involvement of both E-Plus and O2 Germany in the German market will further contribute to the global development of DoCoMos mobile data services.
As a result of this agreement with KPN, DoCoMo expects to record a gain of approximately 40 billion yen on its sale of investment securities and the related foreign currency translation. DoCoMo also expects to record approximately 14 billion yen, which it regards as the consideration for the benefit of this agreement, as an operating expense. Consolidated financial forecasts reflecting this agreement, among other things, will be announced in DoCoMos first-half earnings report on October 28.
