In relation to this, Ricoh and Toshiba Tec hereby announce that the scope of the Business Integration has been changed as follows. Further, in conjunction with this change, the two companies hereby announce that some of the figures described in the Previous Timely Disclosure have been also changed as follows.

1. Reason for Changes

Following the completion of consultation with the works' council of a French subsidiary of Toshiba Tec, Toshiba Tec Europe Imaging Systems S.A., Toshiba Tec has decided to include its business of the development and production of multifunction printers in France in the scope of the Business Integration.
