Pacific Coast of Tohoku Earthquake:
Regarding the Impact on Our Operations

We would like to express our sincere gratitude for the many messages of concern we have received from across Japan and around the world in the days following the Pacific Coast of Tohoku Earthquake.

Immediately after the earthquake struck, we established an emergency headquarters at our head office in Tokyo, which has confirmed the safety of employees at our Tohoku Branch in Sendai.

Our Tohoku Branch has decided to resume business operations on March 17.
