Future Operation Policy and Investment Plan
The Company has sought to expand its automotive motor business as one of its pillar businesses not only through organic growth but also by actively pursuing opportunities to acquire companies in the industry.
Nidec Kaiyu sells its products to Chinese automobile manufacturers and has strong presence in the Chinese market, which is expected to expand and grow, as a manufacturer of brush motors for electric power steering (“EPS”) systems. Through the Transaction, the Company seeks to acquire technologies for brush motors for EPS systems, which the Company currently does not possess, and business opportunities in the Chinese automobile market, new entry into which has been difficult. In addition, the Company and Nidec Kaiyu will aim to expand sales of brush motors for EPS systems to non-Chinese automobile manufacturers and to emerging economies outside China by mutually taking advantage of each other’s research and development capabilities, manufacturing facilities and sales channels.
3.
Effect on Financial Performance for the Current Fiscal Year
The impact of the Transaction on the Company’s consolidated financial performance for the current fiscal year is expected to be insignificant.
