Notice Concerning Partial Amendment of the Articles of Incorporation

Terumo Corporation ("Terumo") announced today that its Board of Directors resolved, at the board of directors meeting held today, to submit the matter of "Partial Amendment of the Articles of Incorporation" as a proposal to the 100th Annual General Meeting of Shareholders to be held on June 24, 2015.

1. Purpose of the amendment

As explained in the separate news release issued today, "Notice Concerning Transition to a Company with an Audit/Supervisory Committee," Terumo plans to transition to a "Company with an Audit/Supervisory Committee," on condition that the plan is approved at the 100th Annual General Meeting of Shareholders on June 24, 2015. The purpose of this transition is to further
strengthen corporate governance and increase corporate value over the medium and long term.
This transition to a "Company with an Audit/Supervisory Committee" will require the Articles of Incorporation to be amended, including the addition of provisions related to the Audit/Supervisory Committee and the members of the committee, as well as the elimination of provisions related to the current Audit and Supervisory Board and the members of the board.
In addition, based on the Act for the Partial Amendment of the Companies Act promulgated on June 27, 2014 (Act No. 90 of 2014), the types of directors who can sign limited liability contracts are expanded. Consequently, items concerning permission to conclude such contracts in the Articles of Incorporation must be changed accordingly so that non-executive directors can fully perform their expected roles.

2. Schedule

Date of the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders for amending the Article of Incorporation: June 24, 2015
Effective date of amendment to the Articles of Incorporation: June 24, 2015
