Reasons for Dissolution |
DOCOMO established HIVE Inc. as part of its program to encourage employee entrepreneurship. The
subsidiarys purpose was to manage a social network service and anime-related web portal sites,
as well as to provide marketing and consulting services for anime-related businesses. A
tightening business environment, however, has made it difficult for the subsidiary to meet its
revenue and profit targets, prompting DOCOMOs decision to dissolve the company.
The dissolution is expected to be completed in February 2009.

|
Impact on DOCOMOs Operating Results |
The dissolution is expected to have very little impact on DOCOMOs consolidated and
non-consolidated financial results for the year ending March 31, 2009, and DOCOMO is not
amending its forecast earnings for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2009 in connection with the
dissolution.
