Notice of Change in Consolidated Subsidiary (Transfer of Shares)

IBIDEN announces that its Board of Directors, at a meeting held today, resolved to transfer all shares of IBIDEN Ceram GmbH and CERAM Liegenschaftsverwaltung GmbH held by IBIDEN Europe B.V., a subsidiary of IBIDEN.

1 Reason for transfer of shares

IBIDEN Europe B.V. will transfer all shares of IBIDEN Ceram GmbH (ICG) and CERAM Liegenschaftsverwaltung GmbH (CLV) held by IBIDEN Europe B.V. (IEU) to improve the group management efficiency. The goal is to achieve continual growth as a company by channeling resources into areas with future growth potential.

2 Background

We acquired all shares of ICG and 50% of CLV from Frauenthal Holding AG in April 2012, and subsequently acquired all shares of CLV in September 2018. From the perspective of selection and concentration, we have resolved to restructure our business in light of changes in the internal and external business environment.
