I Organizational Reforms

1. Organizational Reforms (effective April 1, 2013)

Operating Divisions

Machinery Division

Three organizations—the Power Project Department, Plant Project Department, and Environment & Urban Infrastructure Development Office—will be reorganization into two: the Power & Environmental Infrastructure Department and the Plant Project Department.

Corporate Departments

A Controller Office will be established in the Consumer Lifestyle Business Division. The Investment Management Department will be newly established.

Overseas

The Europe, Russia & NIS geographical segment will be combined with the Middle East and Africa geographical segment, making a new Europe, Africa, Middle East, Russia & NIS geographical segment. (The system for managing overseas operations will change from consisting of five bases to consisting of four)

2. Purpose of Organizational Reforms

Operating Divisions

Machinery Division

These organizational reforms aim to drive further development by facilitating the sharing of expertise and by boosting efficiency in the power; engineering, procurement and construction (EPC); and environmental fields. This is expected to subsequently lead to improved organizational flexibility and profitability.

Corporate Departments

Establishment of Controller Office in the Consumer Lifestyle Business Division

Controller offices are established to help the Company improve the quality of assets by enabling risk management to be conducted at operating sites, boosting the ability of divisions to develop projects, and strengthening business operational capabilities. The Controller Office to be established in the Consumer Lifestyle Business Division will be the second such office, the first being the Controller Office established in the Energy & Metal Division in April 2012.

Establishment of Investment Management Department

The Investment Management Department will be established as an organization that draws its project and organizational management capabilities from its comprehensive expertise related to finance, accounting, legal affairs, and taxations. It will work in close coordination with operating divisions to achieve the goal of improving the quality of assets defined in Medium-term Management Plan 2014 – Change for Challenge.

Overseas

Currently, systems for developing and operating businesses in the growing markets of the Middle East & Africa are divided between two overseas bases: London (Europe, Russia & NIS) and Dubai (Middle East & Africa). In order to strengthen these systems, we will consolidate the management functions of these two bases into the London base, thereby enabling us to better support the development and operation of more functional businesses.
