1.Purpose of Making au CORPORATION KDDIfs Wholly Owned Subsidiary
KDDI, born on October 1 this year as a comprehensive information and communications company providing global and seamless communications services, domestic and international, as well as fixed and mobile, is prepared for an era of world-scale mega competition developing with deregulation and technological innovation as a backdrop. As a part of this determination, KDDI is now working on reinforcement of its group strength so as to flexibly meet customers' diversified demands as well as to make a positive business deployment.

In particular, KDDI recognizes that au Corp., born on November 1 this year, is a strategically core business offering high quality nation-wide seamless services under its nationally unified brand,"au" besides the mobile business in Kanto and Tokai Areas provided by KDDI. KDDI places great importance on au Corp. as a business for substantiating its own "Mobile & IP" strategy.

To realize, with this fundamental recognition in mind, effective management of the whole business and dynamic business deployment by making most of KDDI group's management resources, it is essential to foster the construction of a further reinforced business structure based on capital integration as well as to promote the convergence of services on fixed and mobile systems centered on IP. Both Companies reached the conclusion that it is indispensable to make au CORPORATION, at the time it started, a KDDI's wholly owned subsidiary for the KDDI group to develop.
