NSG Announces Sale of Subsidiary- Nippon Muki Co., Ltd.

Reasons for transaction
Nippon Muki Co., Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, specializes in the manufacture and sale of air filter products and clean-room equipment. Nippon Muki Co., Ltd. has been operating in those areas with a steady profitability. Its activities are, however, highly dependent on the Japanese market, and the Company has recognized that its further future growth requires synergies through collaboration with other players having customer relationships outside of Japan.
 
The Company has recently received a number of offers to purchase Nippon Muki Co., Ltd. and has carefully studied them. Following a process of evaluation of such offers, the Company has judged that this transaction, under conditions proposed by the Buyer, best contributes to the further enhancement of the enterprise value of the Company.
