Mar.23, 2007
The Board of Directors decided on March 23, 2007 to move the South East Asian Region Sales Headquarters functions, which is currently located in Singapore, to Thailand in the coming term (ending March 2008). Consequently, Minebea Technologies Pte. Ltd. will be liquidated following the move.

The Company is currently providing bearings, bearing-related products, motors, other electronic devices and components, etc manufactured at its plants in Thailand, China and Singapore, etc to customers of South East Asian region (mainly Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Philippines, Indonesia, India, etc) via its fully-owned Singaporean subsidiary Minebea Technologies Pte. Ltd. However, the top-selling products are those that are manufactured at the Thai plant, which is the largest of the Company’s production bases, and there is an increasing demand for the South East Asian Region Sales Headquarters to assume a role in providing an interface between the Company’s customers and the Thai plant. South East Asian Region Sales Headquarters functions will be moved to Minebea Thai Ltd., which operates the Thai plant, during the coming term in order to facilitate such activities as well as to further expand sales in the South East Asian region and provide more responsive customer support. Minebea Technologies Pte. Ltd. will be liquidated upon completion of the move. Sales functions within Singapore will be transferred to NMB Singapore Ltd., the production company, which will then handle issues related to customer support in the Singapore area.

In conjunction with the liquidation of Minebea Technologies Pte. Ltd., the Company will purchase the shares of its subsidiary, Minebea Technologies Taiwan Co. Ltd., at a fair price and will liquidate the defunct Micaltronics Pte. Ltd. at the same time.

At this point it is difficult to calculate the impact of the restructuring on the Company’s consolidated and non-consolidated results, but it is expected to be negligible.
