4.3. Status after merger Trade name : DDI CORPORATION Logo mark: : KDDI Line of business : Type I telecommunications carrier Principal office : 8 Ichiban-cho, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo Representative : Yusai Okuyama (President) Capital : 139,363 million (72,634million, the capital as of March 31, 2000 plus 60,001million, the amount of capital increase by allocation to third parties, and 6,726million, the capital added by the merger) Total assets : 2.1521 trillion(combined total assets of each company as of September 30, 1999) Accounting period : March 31 4.4. Purpose of merger With the Japanese telecommunications market growing increasingly competitive on a global scale as a result of deregulation and technological developments, DDI, KDD and IDO have been vigorously negotiating to build a secure position for themselves as a core telecommunications carrier, and as a result have reached agreement as equals on the following basic points. They have now signed the agreement: - Becoming a comprehensive telecommunications carrier capable of offering seamless mobile, domestic and international telecom services will realize synergies enabling DDI, KDD and IDO to provide services more effectively and thereby compete more efficiently against the NTT group. By enhancing their capital base, DDI, KDD and IDO will be able to accelerate moves to expand the scope of their businesses. - Through improving operating efficiency and competitiveness and expanding their scope of business, DDI, KDD and IDO will be able to offer world-leading services and aggressively expand marketing operations to capture the support of a wide customer base ranging from individuals to mega-companies both in Japan and abroad. - By concentrating management resources on one merged company and harmonizing the business objectives of personnel at all three firms in line with a unified business strategy, DDI, KDD and IDO aim to become a powerful business entity with the strength to compete against the dominant carriers in Japan and overseas.

In addition to becoming increasingly cutthroat, the market is also seeing a rapid shift from voice to data communications, and from fixed to mobile communications. Being able to offer seamless service by developing both mobile and IP networks has thus grown to be of vital importance. Merging will enable DDI, KDD and IDO to respond to this changing environment, allowing them to pool their accumulated know-how, develop and expand an integrated backbone and provide a seamless nationwide mobile phone service, and become a leading player in developing next-generation mobile communications services.

Focusing as it will on mobile and IP network services and making more effective use of management resources, the global and comprehensive telecommunications carrier that the merger will create will greatly benefit the Japanese public and make a genuine contribution to the development of the economy as a whole.

4.5. Information of merged companies 4.5.1. DDI Corporation (pre-merger) Headquarters : 8 Ichiban-cho, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, 102-8401 JAPAN Established : 1 June 1984 Capitalization : Yen 72,635 million Officers : Founder and Chairman Emeritus: Kazuo Inamori Chairman: Jiro Ushio President: Yusai Okuyama Group Enterprises: DDI CELLULAR GROUP DDI POCKET TELEPHONE GROUP A conspicuous feature of trends in the telecommunications market was the rapid growth of demand for mobile telephone services. There was also further diversification of consumer needs, including increased demand for Internet access and other data communications services. The focus of the market continued to shift from fixed-line to wireless communications, and from voice to data communications. In this market environment, DDI focused on the expansion of its long-distance, inter-national, cellular telephone, PHS. DDIs non-consolidated profit in fiscal year 1999 was affected by a reduction in long-distance telephone charges in February 1998, and by the growing popularity of discount ser-vices. Operating revenues rose by 13.0% over the previous year's level to 605,510 million, and recurring profit declined by 23.3% to 33,648 million. Net income was 29.0% lower at 16,867 million. On a consolidated basis, operating revenues increased by 5.8% to 1,246,582 million, while recurring profit declined by 20.0% to 50,866 million. Net income was 105.3% higher at 17,061 million. Long-Distance Services: DDI worked to enhance its competitiveness primarily through pricing strategies, including the introduction of new discounts to make services more accessible to existing users, especially in the area of voice calls. The expansion of the Internet was reflected in increased demand for data communications services. DDI responded by cutting charges for its Frame Relay Service and launching a new Cell Relay Service to support high-volume data communications. It further enhanced its competitiveness in the high-growth field of data communications by adding new service options to its DION Internet connection system. The improvement of network infrastructure continued. DDI acquired the Japan Information Highway (JIH) system, a large-capacity submarine cable encircling the entire Japanese archipelago. It also continued to convert its network to fiber optic cable. These enhancements will further reinforce network reliability while ensuring that DDI is able to keep pace with future growth in the demand for telecommunications services. Cellular-Phone Services: The DDI CELLULAR Group achieved steady growth in its subscriber base, which increased by 22.4% to 5,298,900 as of March 31, 1999. In July 1998 KANSAI CELLULAR TELEPHONE Co., KYUSHU CELLULAR TELEPHONE Co. and OKINAWA CELLULAR TELEPHONE Co. launched a new service based on the cdmaOne technology, which is superior to the PDC system in terms of both voice quality and suitability for data communications. The new service was subsequently introduced by CHUGOKU CELLULAR TELEPHONE, HOKURIKU CELLULAR TELEPHONE and SHIKOKU CELLULAR TELEPHONE in March 1999, and by HOKKAIDO CELLULAR TELEPHONE Co. and TOHOKU CELLULAR TELEPHONE Co. in April 1999. Seamless nationwide coverage was established in April 1999, when IDO launched cdmaOne services in the Tokyo and Tokai regions. To improve the competitiveness of existing services, DDI made a number of changes to its system of charges. It launched a new plan that combines a basic charge with a certain amount of free call time and also introduced discount services. C-Mail, a mail service for cellular telephones, and the EZweb service, which allows Internet access from cdmaOne telephones, were introduced in April 1999. PHS Services: The advantages of PHS relative to cellular-telephone services are shrinking in terms of charges and functions. In an effort to expand its user base, DDI introduced new charging plans and ser-vices and continued to improve the functionality of its network. However, the business environment was extremely harsh, and other PHS operators made major changes in their operations. The number of subscribers registered with the Pocket Telephone companies reached a peak of 3,617,000 in July 1998. This was followed by net declines each month until February 1999. DDI sought to halt this trend by introducing a number of innovations, including the P-Mail DX (P-Mail Deluxe) telephone with enhanced mail functions, and the Moji Denwa (Text Phone), which was specially designed to take advantage of the data communications capabilities of PHS. These measures brought a return to net growth, and by March 1999 the total number of subscribers was only 0.8% below the previous years level at 3,457,000. Group Integration to Match Market Needs: DDI is converting its network to fiberoptic technology and building an IP network to support data communications. These enhancements will enable it to respond flexibly to the demand for high-speed, large-capacity services. As customer needs become more sophisticated and diverse, DDI will also enhance its ability to market its services through a consulting approach as a provider of comprehensive solutions that include the design of corporate communications systems. In April 1999 it established DDI Network Systems to handle its solutions business. Members of the DDI Group have joined forces to develop and provide the EZweb service, which was launched in April 1999. EZweb allows users to access Internet information from a cellular telephone. Access is via DION, an Internet connection service operated by DDI. Reducing Reliance on the NTT Network: Until now DDI has connected to the NTT network via relay exchanges. It is now moving closer to users by introducing group center (GC) connections at local exchanges. This will lower DDI's reliance on the NTT network and reduce the amount of access charges paid to NTT. DDI also plans to reduce the reliance of the CELLULAR TELEPHONE companies on the NTT network by enabling them to use group connections via the DDI network. This change, which has already been implemented for the PHS companies, will also bring savings in the amount of access charges paid to NTT. Group connections are expected to enhance the earnings of all group companies.

ATIS Corporation Strategy for the future:

IDO has a Steadfast Commitment to Meeting Future Challenges and Implementing New Technologies Introducing Revolutionary "cdmaOne" service for the 21st Century. The April 1999 launch of "cdmaOne" service marked a milestone in cellular industry history. "cdmaOne" is a completely new digital telecommunications technology based on CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access), a technology developed in the U.S. It offers outstanding voice and high-speed data transmission capabilities and represents the future in the continually advancing world of telecommunications. Countries around the world are moving toward the future in cellular phone technology by adopting "cdmaOne." Gaining High Acclaim for its Digital Network Service: Since the company began operations in 1994, the companys digital network service Personal Digital Cellular system (PDC) has been highly rated by its customers. With a coverage of approximately 99% of the population, it now has 3 million subscribers who appreciate both the coverage and quality of its network. Furthermore, because of its roaming agreements with the DDI Cellular Group, customers can use its digital network service throughout Japan. In 1997, it developed the Digital G series of handsets capable of data transmission speeds of 9.6Kbps. The new G series, which is lighter than previous models and offers functions such as text message services, increases the convenience and usefulness of its digital network service Continuous R&D Is Enhancing Network Reliability: Latest Developments in Mobile Communications Technology Even when viewed against the background of the rapidly changing telecommunications industry, the latest advances in mobile multimedia communications technology are particularly striking. IDO employs the latest technology from all over the world to build a stable and reliable communications network. In the future, the company plans to continue augmenting its own R&D with other technical advances to continue providing convenient and attractive services to its customers. Completely Digitized Intelligent Network: When users cross multiple wireless zones at high speeds, being able to use their cellular phones requires advanced high-speed transmission technologies built into their receivers. IDO's service area is finely divided into zones where a number of base stations are installed. These stations are connected to digital switches with fiber-optic cables. The digital switch circuits and connections also operate on digital signaling for ultrafast processing and, through a dedicated computer, form an intelligent network that delivers robust high-speed services. Introduction of Latest Network Monitoring System : IDO developed and installed the network monitoring system I-NOS to allow its many networks to be managed as a single unit. The system enables the real-time comprehension of transmission load amounts and the status of equipment, such as base stations, switches and transmitters, and allows for flexible network management. With this system, IDO can offer reliable, stable services around the clock. 5. Strategic Partnership with Singapore Telecom KDD and Singapore Telecom (SingTel) today announced that the two companies will form a strategic partnership to better serve their corporate customers in Asia and around the world. Reflecting their strong commitment to the partnership, KDD and SingTel have agreed to undertake a share swap. Under the agreement, KDD will issue 4,011,800 new shares, or approximately 5% of its enlarged share capital, to SingTel. At the same time, SingTel will issue to KDD 221,310,898 new shares, representing 1.43% of the enlarged SingTel share capital. The pricing of the share swap was arrived at following negotiations on a willing buyer and a willing seller basis. 5.1. Formation of joint venture In conjunction with the partnership, KDD and SingTel have signed an Agreement-In-Principle with the intent to form an equally-owned joint venture (JV) that will provide premium seamless and managed end-to-end telecommunications services to multinational corporations and business customers. These services include Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM), frame relay, international leased circuits and services based on Internet Protocol. Although KDD and SingTel presently have their own networks in the Asia Pacific, the two companies intend for the JV to provide services on a common platform. To meet this objective, the JV will develop an integrated ATM backbone in the Asia Pacific region with connectivity to North America and Europe. The backbones initial nodes will be located in Singapore, Tokyo and Hong Kong. KDD and SingTel will contribute assets such as submarine cables and equipment as well as second personnel to the JV. Ownership of the ATM backbone will provide the JV with operational flexibility and enable it to better manage its cost structure so that it can offer services that are competitively priced. Total amount of investment of the JV over the five years will be in the region of US$350 million. Presently, KDD and SingTel work with other carriers to provide global service to their customers. Where necessary, the JV will do likewise to distribute its services. It will provide comprehensive back office support including consolidated billing, clearing house, product development and network management functions. Customers will have a single point of contact and a single contract with the JV. The services provided by the JV will be useful to other carriers who are keen to serve their customers with managed end-to-end services. KDD and SingTel expect to sign a definitive agreement on the JV by end of February 2000 with the incorporation of the JV scheduled for April 2000. 5.2. Strengthening of a partnership KDD President, Mr. Tadashi Nishimoto, said: The new equity relationship between SingTel and KDD is definitely a new step in our long-standing and tested partnership that will enable solid expansion of our business especially in the Asian region. The two of us standing shoulder to shoulder will remodel the Asian telecommunications market. The true purpose of our alliance and our agreement to establish a joint venture, said Mr. Nishimoto, is for the customers to benefit from abundant opportunities to enjoy premium quality, seamless end-to-end managed products and services based on an integrated ATM backbone. It is my strong belief that SingTel and KDD will continue to be the leaders in the Asian region in the new millennium. SingTel President and CEO, Brigadier General Lee Hsien Yang, said: SingTel is pleased to welcome KDD, an established and well-regarded telecommunications company, as a strategic partner. The share swap reflects the strong and significant commitment of KDD and SingTel to the partnership and cements the already close relationship of our two companies. KDD and SingTel have had a long history of working together. We were founder members of the WorldPartners alliance and we have also collaborated closely in the planning of many submarine cable systems in the region. This strengthening of our partnership will ensure that both companies continue to play leading roles in the region even as the telecommunications industry continues to consolidate.
