Notice Relating to Merger of Kyocera Medical Corporation

Kyocera Corporation (the “Company”), at a meeting of its Board of Directors held on August 26, 2016, resolved that the Company will merge Kyocera Medical Corporation (“Kyocera Medical”), a wholly owned consolidated subsidiary of the Company, effective as of April 1, 2017.

The above merger constitutes simplified merger and, accordingly, certain parts of the disclosure are omitted.

 

1. Purpose of Merger

Kyocera Medical is Kyocera Group’s principal subsidiary in the medical and health care market, one of the Group’s important markets. It develops products such as artificial joints, artificial bones and dental implants, taking advantage of the highly biocompatible characteristics of fine ceramics and titanium alloy. The Company believes that expansion of business in this market going forward will increasingly require long-term joint study with research and development institutions and cultivation of new business areas. The purpose of the contemplated merger is to pursue new business opportunities based on the medical materials technologies fostered by Kyocera Medical, and to achieve synergies with the Company’s brand and the Company’s rich management resources.
