The scheme was put into effect under the revised Commercial Code of 1999.

A

JVC and Kenwood calculated the share transfer ratios after careful negotiations and discussions between them, with reference to the calculation results of their respective financial advisory companies and comprehensively taking account of financial and asset conditions, and the future outlook of the two companies.

Questions about Consolidation of Shares

Q

When were the shares consolidated?

A

The Company conducted a 10-for-1 share consolidation of its common shares effective August 1, 2010 (Sunday).
Every 10 shares held by shareholders and registered pledgees of shares recorded in the final shareholder registry as of July 31, 2010 (Saturday) (provided, however, that as the said date fell on a holiday for the administrator of the shareholder registry, the actual date was July 30, 2010 (Friday)) were consolidated into one share.


Q

What was the purpose of the share consolidation?

A

When executing management integration, one JVC share was entitled to two JVCKENWOOD shares and one Kenwood share was entitled to one JVCKENWOOD share, in order to make the share transfer simple for shareholders. As a result, the total number of shares issued and outstanding exceeded one billion shares. In addition, the share price of JVCKENWOOD dropped amid a bearish trend in the stock market, which also caused relatively large fluctuations in the share price. We received comments and feedback seeking an improvement in the situation from stakeholders, such as financial institutions, business partners, and general investors.
For these reasons, the Company conducted a share consolidation of common stock in the expectation that it would lead to the formation of a share price that reflects a decrease in the number of shares issued and outstanding and adjusted the investment unit to an appropriate level.


Q

What was the change in the number of shares following the share consolidation?

A

Through the consolidation of 10 shares into one share, the total number of shares issued and outstanding of the Company decreased from 1,090,002,015 shares to 109,000,201 shares (as of the date of share consolidation on August 1, 2010).

e.g., A shareholder holding 1,000 shares before the share consolidation was allocated 100 shares after the share consolidation.
