Nikko Cordial Corporation
Change of the Record Date for the Convocation of the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders
The Board of Directors of Nikko Cordial Corporation, at its meeting held today, resolved to change the record date for the convocation of the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders that was originally set at its meeting held on October 2, 2007, to October 28, 2007, in order to facilitate administrative preparation for the meeting.
The Record Date for the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders
October 28, 2007 (Sunday) (as a practical matter, October 26, 2007 (Friday), because the 27th and the 28th fall on the weekend, and as such, the administrator of the shareholders list does not work on those days), has been set as the record date for purposes of identifying shareholders who will have the right to vote at the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders scheduled for December 19, 2007 (Wednesday). Thus, shareholders who are registered on the list of shareholders (including the beneficial shareholders) on October 28, 2007 (Sunday) shall have the right to vote at the above-mentioned extraordinary general meeting of shareholders.
