At the 65th ordinary general meeting of shareholders held on June 27, 2008, a resolution was adopted to change the English name of the corporation.
New English Name: Iwatani Corporation
(Former English Name: Iwatani International Corporation)
[Reason for the Change of English Name]
By changing the English name of the corporation to Iwatani Corporation, we hope to improve the impact factor of our corporate name and to increase Group solidarity by combining as one the corporate mark of the Group both in Japan and abroad.
