Next, Daiichi Sankyo hereby notifies regarding the Daiichi Sankyo’s company split of 30 long-listed products as follows. Since this is a simple absorption-type company split in which the decrease in Daiichi Sankyo’s net assets is projected to be less than 10% of the total amount of net assets on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year and the decrease in Daiichi Sankyo’s net sales is projected to be less than 3% of the total net sales in the immediately preceding fiscal year, this disclosure is made omitting some of the disclosure items and contents. 1. Summary of Daiichi Sankyo’s company split 1) Reason for the company split Because the number of products being transferred in this transaction is large and the number of contracts, etc. related to the products to be transferred is also large, for the comprehensive transfer of the products and each contract, etc., a succession scheme via simple absorption-type company split was selected. 2) Schedule of the company split Board of Directors resolution date (Daiichi Sankyo) July 31, 2018 Contract conclusion date July 31, 2018 Effective date (scheduled) March 1, 2019 Payment date (scheduled) March 1, 2019 Board of Directors resolution date (Daiichi Sankyo) July 31, 2018 Contract conclusion date July 31, 2018 Effective date (scheduled) March 1, 2019 Payment date (scheduled) March 1, 2019 (Note) Since this company split being implemented by Daiichi Sankyo is a simple absorption-type split based on the provisions of Article 784 Paragraph 2 of the Companies Act, it is being implemented without the passage of a resolution at a general shareholders’ meeting. 3) Method of the company split This is a simple absorption-type split with Daiichi Sankyo as the spliting company and Alfresa Pharma as the succeeding company. 4) Contents of allotments pertaining to the company split Upon this company split, Daiichi Sankyo is scheduled to receive an approximately ¥4.2 billion payment from Alfresa Pharma. 5) Treatment of share options and bonds by the company split There will be no changes to the treatment of share options issued by Daiichi Sankyo by this company split. Also, Daiichi Sankyo has not issued any bonds with share options. 6) Capital increase or decrease from the company split There will be no capital increase or decrease caused by this company split. 7) Rights and obligations assumed by the succeeding company Upon this company split, the succeeding company will succeed assets, contract positions, approvals, intellectual property rights and rights and obligations incidental thereto concerning the split business (excluding labor contracts with employees and rights and obligations incidental thereto). However, operating credits and debts that arise until the date the absorption-type split comes into effect (accounts receivable, accounts payable, amounts outstanding, and other monetary transactions) are vested in the splitting company, which is Daiichi Sankyo. 8) Outlook for Fulfillment of Debt Obligations There are no debt obligations borne by the succeeding company under this company split. 2. Approach to Calculating the Contents of Allotments Pertaining to the company Split Since Alfresa Pharma will continue to operate value the split business after this company split, it deemed that adopting the discount cash flow (DCF) method to value the assets based on the future cash flow expected from the split business is appropriate and conducted a calculation using a third party. Alfresa Pharma calculated the business value based on the results of value calculation by the third party and presented the amount to Daiichi Sankyo. In addition to that, comprehensively considering the status of the transferred products at Daiichi Sankyo, and the book value of assets pertaining to the products being transferred, and as a result of discussions and negotiations between the two parties, Daiichi Sankyo finally judged that the amount mutually agreed on is suitable and concluded this absorption-type split contract pertaining to this company split with Alfresa Pharma. No significant increases or decreases are projected in the financial projections that were used as assumptions for the calculation. 3. Outline of the Parties (Splitting Company) 1.
