NTT DOCOMO to Merge with Regional Subsidiaries
TOKYO, JAPAN, April 25, 2008 — NTT DOCOMO, INC. and its regional companies in the Hokkaido,
Tohoku, Tokai, Hokuriku, Kansai, Chugoku, Shikoku and Kyushu regions of Japan announced today an
agreement that the eight wholly owned subsidiaries will merge into NTT DOCOMO, the surviving
company, effective July 1. The agreement, after being approved by an extraordinary meeting of NTT
DOCOMO’s board of directors today, was signed by the participating parties.
NTT DOCOMO and its eight regional subsidiaries have successfully developed infrastructure and
conducted community-based sales in each respective region since 1993. It was decided that the eight
regional subsidiaries should merge into NTT DOCOMO, however, to better deal with the changing
environment of mobile communications. The main objectives of the merger are to achieve:
| • |
|
Enriched and enhanced customer services, |
| |
| • |
|
Streamlined group management, and |
| |
| • |
|
Faster decision-making. |
In accordance with Article 796, Section 3 of Japan’s Corporate Law, NTT DOCOMO was not required to
convene a general meeting of shareholders to receive their approval of the merger. In addition, in
accordance with Article 784, Section 1 of the same law, the regional subsidiaries likewise were not
required to convene general meetings of their shareholders.
None of the eight regional subsidiaries has issued stock purchase warrants or corporate bonds with
stock purchase warrants.
