| Densei-Lambda Transfers Equity
in Subsidiary |
| |
TOKYO, December 26, 2001 - Densei-Lambda K. K. (TSE: 6917),
a leading manufacturer
of power systems, today announced that pursuant to a share transfer agreement
signed
between NEC Fielding Ltd. (FILDG) and the Company, the Company will transfer
all shares
held in NDEC Co., Ltd. (NDEC) to FILDG.
|
 |
| 1. Reasons for equity transfer |
 |
NDEC has historically provided maintenance service for
Densei-Lambda's
uninterruptible power supply systems (UPS), and has also on a contract
basis, performed
work on LAN systems operated by FILDG. From the beginning of 2001,
however,
Densei-Lambda decided to directly service its own UPS to further improve
its overall
quality of maintenance work and customer service. |
 |
Due to these changes, NDEC's business has increasingly
centered on data
communications services for FILDG. The three companies involved thus
resolved that
the greatest synergies could be achieved if NDEC and FILDG unified.
Densei-Lambda
has thus resolved to transfer all shares held in NDEC to FILDG thereby
enabling better
concentration of resources on power systems businesses. This realignment
of priorities is
consistent with Densei-Lambda's strategy of focusing on its core power
systems
competencies, as pursued since the merger of Nemic Lambda and Nippon
Electric
Industry (Densei) in October 1999. |
