We expect future business cooperation between the three companies to involve positive inter-company personnel exchange between the three firms and FR with its mainstay UNIQLO operation. Cooperation will also include the setting and holding of joint meetings, etc.
Management merger implementation –the timing and method At this point in time, the exact timing and details for implementing the merger of management functions are undetermined. We will disclose these details as soon as they are decided following careful consideration by FAST RETAILING and the three subsidiary companies.
Any management merger among the three subsidiaries will be subject to the successful transformation of VIEWCOMPANY into a wholly owned subsidiary of the FAST RETAILING Group. The details of this transition are described in the document released on March 19, 2008 entitled “VIEWCOMPANY to become a wholly owned subsidiary of FAST RETAILING.”
The remuneration to be delivered to remaining shareholders when VIEWCOMPANY becomes a wholly owned FR subsidiary will not be affected by the decision to merge the three subsidiary firms. Instead, this remuneration will be calculated to equal the purchase price in the tender offer on VIEWCOMPANY joint stock carried out between January 11 and February 27, 2008.
