Fujitsu Transfers Partial Stake in Leasing Affiliate to Tokyo Leasing
Tokyo, September 26, 2003 -- Fujitsu Limited today announced that it
has agreed to sell 400,000 shares (representing 20% of total
outstanding shares) of the 900,000 shares it owns in its leasing
affiliate, Fujitsu Leasing Co., Ltd., to Tokyo Leasing Co., Ltd., and
today executed a contract to sell the shares.  As a result of the
sale, Fujitsu Leasing 's financial results will no longer be
consolidated in Fujitsu Limited 's financial reports, and instead
will be accounted for by the equity method for affiliate earnings.
Background of the Transfer
As the primary leasing company handling sales financing within the
Fujitsu Group, Fujitsu Leasing has sought to expand its leasing
business, focusing on IT-related equipment, with the sales
counterparts of other members of the Fujitsu Group as its main
customers.
To accommodate the increasingly diverse financing needs of customers,
especially the trend among financial institutions and other
corporations for systems outsourcing or other ways of keeping systems
assets off the balance sheet, Fujitsu has decided to collaborate with
Tokyo Leasing, which has extensive financing expertise.  This move
will strengthen Fujitsu Leasing 's operations
and the sales financing function within the Fujitsu Group.  In
conjunction with this collaboration, Tokyo Leasing will acquire a
partial equity stake in Fujitsu Leasing.
Following the sale, Fujitsu Limited will remain Fujitsu Leasing 's
largest shareholder, and the transaction entails no changes to
Fujitsu Leasing 's management executives or corporate name, nor does
it call for any change in Fujitsu Limited 's support for Fujitsu
Leasing.
