Notice Regarding Change in Consolidated Subsidiary (Share Transfer)Fujikura Ltd. (the "Company") hereby announces that the Company decided today to transfer all of the shares of NISHI NIPPON ELECTRIC WIRE & CABLE CO.,LTD. ("NND"), a consolidated subsidiary of the Company, held by the Company (representing 60.8% of the issued shares of NND) to AGSPC43 Co., Ltd.

As a result of this share transfer above (the "Share Transfer"), NND will be excluded from the Company's consolidated subsidiaries, and NISHIDEN DENSO CO.,LTD. ("NDD"), a wholly owned subsidiary (non-consolidated subsidiary) of NND, will be excluded from the Company's subsidiaries (sub-subsidiaries).
- Reason for the Share Transfer
NND was established in 1950 and commenced the manufacture of bare copper wires. NND subsequently expanded its operations into an integrated cable manufacturing facility covering process from copper melting to rolling and wire drawing, and has since been engaged in the manufacture and sale of various power cables and terminals, distribution equipment for non-outage construction work, telecommunication cables, prefabricated cables and related products for housing, branched cables, heat-shrinkable tubes, wire harnesses, and other products.
In recent years, the Company has been promoting the efficient allocation of management resources and the optimization of its business portfolio across the Company group. In particular, since 2020, the Company has undertaken structural reform of its energy business, and, as part of such reform, has explored the transfer of NND to a best partner. In the course of this process, the Company determined that, by making the fullest possible use of Aspirant Group's network, accumulated expertise in business improvement, and the knowledge and networks of its senior members, NND would be able to achieve further growth and enhancement of its enterprise value. Based on the foregoing, the Company has decided to proceed with the Share Transfer.
