With respect to the transfer price between the U.S. and Japan, Advance Pricing Arrangement (APA) which Eisai group had applied to tax authorities in Japan and the U.S was agreed between them. In accordance with this agreement, Eisai Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Tokyo, President & CEO: Haruo Naito) has revised the full-year non-consolidated business forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2009, (April 1, 2008 to March 31, 2009) originally announced on January 30, 2009 in the “Quarterly Financial Reports for the Third Quarter of the Year Ending March 31, 2009” as below-mentioned.
Since this revision is based on intercompany transactions, we have not revised the full-year consolidated forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31 which was announced on January 30, 2009.
