(Change) Partial Amendment to the Notice Regarding the Statement of Support for and Neutrality Toward the Tender Offer for the Company's Shares by SK-03株式会社

Because NEC Corporation entered into an agreement not to tender any of its CE Holdings Co.,Ltd. shares in this tender offer and to tender them in the subsequent self-tender offer, the number of shares planned to be purchased was reduced by 1,200,000 shares, and the minimum number of shares planned to be purchased was reduced by the same amount. The amendment also reflects the execution of agreements by EM Systems and 日本事務器株式会社 to tender their shares in this tender offer.

The reasons the company gives

The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.

Because an agreement was entered into with NEC Corporation not to tender its shares in this tender offer and to tender them in the self-tender offer, NEC Corporation's shares were excluded from the scope of this tender offer. In addition, EM Systems and 日本事務器株式会社 entered into agreements to tender all of their respective shares in this tender offer.
