Teijin Limited ("the Company") hereby announces that it has decided to co-sell with E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Company ("DuPont") all of the equity interests the Company owns in the film business joint ventures in the U.S., Europe and China.

1. Backgroud

   The Teijin Group has been structurally transforming the polyester film business, for which operations have been managed through joint ventures with DuPont. In August 2016, the Company decided to acquire the interests owned by DuPont in the joint ventures in Japan and Indonesia and converted those joint ventures into wholly owned subsidiaries.

   Following the conversion of the two joint ventures above into wholly owned subsidiaries, the Company has planned to intensively allocate resources to upgrade the functionality of polyester films, including PEN films, in Japan and Indonesia. In this respect, the four joint ventures with DuPont in the U.S., Europe and China have become less important as resources allocation targets. Considering these circumstances, and based on discussions held with DuPont, the Company has decided to co-sell with DuPont all of the Company's equity interests in the four joint ventures to Indorama Netherlands B.V., and the three parties have entered into a share transfer agreement.

2. Particulars of the agreement

   The three parties have agreed that the Company will co-sell with DuPont all of the Company's equity interests in DuPont Teijin Films U.S. Limited Partnership, DuPont Teijin Films Luxemburg S.A., DuPont Teijin Films UK Limited, DuPont Teijin Films China Limited, which are joint ventures with DuPont and equity-method affiliates of the Company, to Indorama Netherlands B.V., effective after obtaining appropriate regulatory approvals in each country.
