Reference Materials for the Extraordinary Meeting of Shareholders

Proposals and Reference Matters

Proposal No. 1: Establishment of a Wholly-Owning Parent Company by way of Share Transfer

1. Reasons for the share transfer

Due to factors such as a global economic downturn, which stemmed from the “Lehman Shock” in September of 2008, in addition to the ensuing rapid rise in the value of the yen and a decline in stock prices, corporate revenue and personal spending have been sluggish, and our economy continues to be stagnant.

Amid a situation where the spread of consumers’ consciousness in protecting their everyday lives, etc. has prevented a full-scale recovery of consumer confidence, competition in the domestic apparel industry is intensifying due to factors such as the rise of low-end products and entries of foreign fast fashion brands into the Japanese market.

Moreover, the industry faces mid to long-term issues such as a decrease in the number of its potential customers in the future because of the falling birthrate, the aging population and the general decrease in population of Japan.

From the perspective of increasing both companies’ corporate values under these circumstances, the Company and TOKYO STYLE CO., LTD. (“TOKYO STYLE”) determined that it is important to share and utilize each other’s strengths, know-how and resources in order to implement measures aimed at promoting the future growth of both companies, such as planning and nurturing of core brands which form the pillars of their businesses, rebuilding of brand portfolio by means of M&A and other ways, rollout in overseas markets including China and Asian countries, and entries into the TV and Internet mail-order sales businesses.

The Company and TOKYO STYLE hope to maximize the added-value provided to the customers and contribute to the society by taking advantage of each other’s strengths while mutually respecting the history and corporate cultures of each company.

In order to maximize the corporate value, the Company and TOKYO STYLE aim to establish a position as the leading company in the fashion industry by promptly realizing the synergies of the integration with concerted efforts to reform our management through the management integration.

In this proposal, we request approval of the establishment of “TSI HOLDINGS CO., LTD.” as a wholly-owning parent company, by way of a joint share transfer under Article 772 of the Companies Act (the “Share Transfer”) between the Company and TOKYO STYLE, and the Company and TOKYO STYLE becoming wholly-owned subsidiaries of such company, for the purposes stated above.

3. Appropriateness of the Provisions Concerning the Matters Listed in Article 773(1)(v) and (vi) of the Companies Act

 

(1) The Company and TOKYO STYLE have determined the ratio of allotment of common shares of “TSI HOLDINGS CO., LTD.” to be issued to the respective shareholders of the Company and TOKYO STYLE, which will be its wholly-owned subsidiaries, upon the incorporation of “TSI Holding Co., Ltd.” by way of the Share Transfer (“Share Transfer Ratio”) as follows:

 

(a) Description of the allotments in the Share Transfer (Share Transfer Ratio)

 

Company

  

TOKYO STYLE

  

Company

Share Transfer Ratio

   1.00    1.65

 

(Note 1)   1 share of common stock of “TSI HOLDINGS CO., LTD.” will be allotted and delivered for each share of common stock of TOKYO STYLE, and 1.65 shares of common stock of “TSI HOLDINGS CO., LTD.” will be allotted and delivered for each share of common stock of the Company in the Share Transfer. A share unit for “TSI HOLDINGS CO., LTD.” is scheduled to be 100 shares.
  In case there is any fraction of less than one share of common stock of “TSI HOLDINGS CO., LTD.” that is to be delivered to the shareholders of TOKYO STYLE or the Company in the Share Transfer, a cash amount equivalent to that fraction will be paid to the shareholders pursuant to Article 234 of the Companies Act of Japan and other relevant laws and regulations.
  The Share Transfer Ratio above may be changed through mutual consultation between both companies if any material change occurs with regard to any of the various conditions upon which the ratio has been determined.
(Note 2)   New shares to be issued by “TSI HOLDINGS CO., LTD.”
  115,791,503 shares of common stock (tentative)
  The number of newly issued “TSI HOLDINGS CO., LTD.” shares has been calculated based on the total number of issued and outstanding shares of TOKYO STYLE (102,507,668 shares) and those of the Company (17,780,200 shares) as of August 31, 2010; provided, however, that the respective treasury stock which the companies held as of August 31, 2010 (TOKYO STYLE: 14,402,930 shares; Company: 1,000,342 shares) have not been included as shares to be exchanged with the new shares in calculating the above number because TOKYO STYLE and the Company plan to cancel all of their treasury shares by the day before the incorporation of “TSI HOLDINGS CO., LTD.” The number of shares to be issued by “TSI HOLDINGS CO., LTD.” may change if share options are exercised before the incorporation date of “TSI HOLDINGS CO., LTD.”

 

(b) Basis for calculation of description of the allotments in the Share Transfer (Share Transfer Ratio)

 

1) Measures to ensure the fairness

In order to ensure the fairness of the Share Transfer Ratio to be used in the Share Transfer, TOKYO STYLE and the Company appointed ABeam M&A Consulting Ltd. (“ABeam M&A Consulting”) and Trustees Consulting LLP (“Trustees Consulting”), respectively, as its independent institution for the calculation of the Share Transfer Ratio regarding the management integration, respectively requested the calculation of the Share Transfer Ratio and obtained a share transfer ratio calculation report.

Neither TOKYO STYLE nor the Company has obtained a fairness opinion (evaluation on fairness) from a third-party institution.

 

45


 

2) Measures to avoid conflicts of interest

No special measures to avoid conflicts of interest have been taken due to the fact that no director of TOKYO STYLE and the Company also serves as a director, executive or an employee of the other company.

 

3) Basis of calculation

As the common stock of each company has a market price, ABeam M&A Consulting employed the average market price method, as well as the comparable peer company method and the DCF (discounted cash flow) method, to calculate the range of the Share Transfer Ratio, after analysis of the various conditions of the Share Transfer. When calculating by the average market price method, ABeam M&A Consulting, upon considering the recent level of the share prices, determined that it is reasonable to use the market prices for a certain period of time, and used the latest closing price, the average closing prices and the volume weighted average prices for periods of one month, three months and six months prior to the appraisal reference date, with the appraisal reference date as October 13, 2010, because (a) singularities in the value formation process cannot be eliminated when using a share price at a certain point of time, and (ii) the share price taking into account the current level of each company’s profitability will not be reflected when using an average share price for an extensive period of time. ABeam M&A Consulting also employed the comparable peer company method, after analysis of various comparative indicators of peer companies, based on its determination that it can reflect the objectivity of the capital markets in a same way as the average market price method as it uses the share prices and financial data of peer companies. ABeam M&A Consulting determined that the DCF method is suitable in evaluating a going business because it is based on a company’s future free cash flow, and evaluated the corporate value by discounting at a certain discount rate the future free cash flow calculated based on the business projections of both companies to arrive at a present value.

The results of the calculation for each method are as follows. The ranges of the Share Transfer Ratio below are those for the common stock of the Company vis-à-vis one share of common stock of TOKYO STYLE.

 

     

Method

  

Range of the Share Transfer Ratio

(a)

   Average Market Price Method    1.29~1.72

(b)

   Comparable Peer Company Method    1.09~1.62

(c)

   Discounted Cash Flow Method    1.57~1.74

ABeam M&A Consulting used the information provided by both companies and publicly available information to calculate the Share Transfer Ratio on the assumption that all such information and materials are accurate and complete, and ABeam M&A Consulting has not conducted any independent verification of the accuracy and completeness of these information and materials. In addition, ABeam M&A Consulting has not made any independent evaluation, appraisal or verification of the assets or liabilities (including contingent liabilities) of either company or their affiliates (including analysis or evaluation of each individual asset or liability), nor has requested appraisal or verification to a third-party institution. ABeam M&A Consulting assumed that the financial projections for both companies have been rationally prepared on the basis of the best possible estimates and judgments available at this point in time from the management of each company. The calculation by ABeam M&A Consulting reflects information and the various economic conditions as of October 13, 2010.

The results of the calculation of the Share Transfer Ratio submitted by ABeam M&A Consulting do not present an opinion on fairness (fairness opinion) of the Share Transfer Ratio for the Share Transfer.

 

46


As the common stock of each company has a market price, Trustees Consulting employed the average market price method, as well as the DCF (discounted cash flow) method, to calculate the range of the Share Transfer Ratio. When calculating by the average market price method, Trustee Consulting, upon considering the recent level of the share prices, determined that it is reasonable to use the market prices for a certain period of time, and used the calculated range of the Share Transfer Ratio based on the latest closing price, the average closing prices and the closing volume average prices for periods of one month, three months and six months prior to the appraisal reference date, with the appraisal reference date as October 13, 2010, because (a) singularities in the value formation process cannot be eliminated when using a share price at a certain point of time, and (ii) the share price taking into account the current level of each company’s profitability will not be reflected when using an average share price for an extensive period of time. Trustees Consulting determined that the DCF method is suitable in evaluating a going business because it is based on a company’s future free cash flow, and evaluated the corporate value by discounting at a certain discount rate the future free cash flow calculated based on the business projections of both companies, results of financial and tax-related due diligence and interviews with the management of each company to arrive at a present value.

The results of the calculation for each method are as follows. The ranges of the Share Transfer Ratio below are those for the common stock of the Company vis-à-vis one share of common stock of TOKYO STYLE.

 

     

Method

  

Range of the Share Transfer Ratio

(a)

   Average Market Price Method    1.293~1.719

(b)

   Discounted Cash Flow Method    1.527~2.145

Trustees Consulting used the information provided by both companies and publicly available information to calculate the Share Transfer Ratio on the assumption that all such information and materials are accurate and complete, and Trustees Consulting has not conducted any independent verification of the accuracy and completeness of these information and materials. In addition, Trustees Consulting has not made any independent evaluation, appraisal or verification of the assets or liabilities (including contingent liabilities) of either company or their affiliates (including analysis or evaluation of each individual asset or liability). Trustees Consulting assumed that the financial projections for both companies have been rationally prepared on the basis of the best possible estimates and judgments available at this point in time from the management of each company. The calculation by Trustees Consulting reflects the above mentioned information as of October 13, 2010.

 

4) Background of calculation

As described above, TOKYO STYLE requested ABeam M&A Consulting and the Company requested Trustees Consulting to calculate the Share Transfer Ratio to be used in the Share Transfer, both companies considered various factors such as the financial and assets conditions and future projections in a comprehensive manner while referencing the results of the calculations by such third party institutions, and upon careful deliberation, both companies determined that the above mentioned Share Transfer Ratio is appropriate.

 

5) Relationship with calculating institutions

Neither ABeam M&A Consulting nor Trustees Consulting, the institutions requested to calculate the Share Transfer Ratio, is a “related party” of either TOKYO STYLE or the Company.

The Company passed a resolution at the board of directors’ meeting held on December 14, 2010 to withdraw from welfare pension fund, Osaka Orimonosho Welfare Pension Fund, of which the Company and part of its domestic consolidated-subsidiaries have been members.

The Company and part of its subsidiary group companies (PlaX Co., Ltd. and Sanei Production Network Co., Ltd.) have been members of a comprehensive incorporation-type pension fund, Osaka Orimonosho Welfare Pension Fund, for the purpose of enhancing benefit programs for the employees. However, as there is a possibility that the future results of the asset management by the said fund may have a material impact on the performance of the Company Group, we have decided to withdraw from the said fund to fundamentally resolve such future risk, and restore our financial health.

Based on the foregoing, the Company is in the process of seeking consent from the board of representatives of the said fund and approval from the Health, Labour and Welfare Ministry, and the Company plans to withdraw from the said fund by March of 2011.

Business Report

(From March 1, 2009 to February 28, 2010)

1. Current State of the Company Group

(1) Progress and results of business

Although Japan’s economy gradually recovered from a long-term stagnation during this consolidated fiscal year due to increase in exports and the government’s economic policies, tight conditions continued with regard to employment and personal income, both hovering at low standards.

In the apparel industry, the decline of consumer appetite continued to persist with growing atmosphere of less spending and low cost tendencies, and prompt accommodation to changes in the consumers’ lifestyles and diversification of purchasing behaviors is required.

Under such circumstances, our Company Group stressed our never-changing primary management policy of “product-oriented principle”, and worked as a group on the development of products with true value satisfactory to our customers. Specifically, we developed original strategic fabrics and functional fabrics universal to all brands, and offered high-quality and high-value added products at reasonable prices through calculated productions at our directly-operated plants in and outside of Japan with high technical capabilities.

On the sales and marketing side, in addition to strengthening the coordination between sales and planning through expansion, etc. of the “sales and planning meetings”, we adopted new measures geared towards future business expansion, such as recruitment of persons from outside the company for development of new sales channels and new brands, and utilization of new in-store information systems by outside consultants.

On the management side, under the new management structure adopted due to the sudden passing of former president Mr. Takano, we are making high-precision management decisions and executing dynamic business operations by newly establishing a “management operations meeting” and the persons-in-charge of each of the sales and marketing, planning, production and administration sections furthering communications and mutual understandings.

With regard to the operations of the group, business performances of unique companies such as NANO UNIVERSE CO., Ltd., operating select shops, Jack Inc., handling U.S. street-style casual brand “STUSSY”, and SPIC INTERNATIONAL co., ltd., with the trendy men’s casual “Tornado Mart” as its primary brand, have continued to be steady, and these companies have expanded their business areas. In addition, we made Ijit Inc., a company run by designer Mr. Keiji Itakura, our subsidiary in June of last year, and have aggressively opened new stores of “Diary”, an original brand compilation shop.

Despite the adoption of these management measures, the slumbering market conditions in general we out of our control, and our business results were extremely disappointing for this consolidated fiscal year, with sales of JPY 52,196 million (16.7% decrease from previous year) and operating income of JPY 422 million (84.1% decrease from previous year). However, because of gains on devaluation of marketable securities we were able to record due to the recovery of the stock market, our ordinary income was JPY 4,281 (589.3% increase from previous year) and net income for the year was JPY 740 million (loss of JPY 9,391 million for the previous year).

(2) Capital investment and financing

The capital investment during this consolidate fiscal year was an aggregate of JPY 681 million, primarily as store development expenses, etc. such as in-shops.

The necessary finds were self-financed.

(3) Issues to be addressed

Although there are promising signs in part, it is expected that the employment climate and individual consumption will not yet recover and unpredictable situations will continue for corporate entities.

Our Company Group will make efforts to expand our sales scale and to recover our income structure on a full-scale basis by reshuffling our personnel and incorporating a structure to appropriately adapt to the changing times through a large-scale organizational reform and personnel relocation scheduled in March of this year.

On the product strategy side, we will review our brand portfolio in correspondence with the changes in the consumers’ needs and the market, will adjust the positioning of the existing brands concurrently with injection of new brands and designate five “focused brands”, and will make efforts to expand the scale of our brands by improving the brands’ cachet and recognition through media strategy along with strengthening from the product-side. We will also promote a new “value-targeting” named “S.V.M” (Super Value Merchandising) and make challenges to develop attractive products which can attain the approval and empathy of our customers.

On the sales strategy side, we plan to newly introduce new contemporary casual brands designed by up-and-coming designers from New York, beginning with our autumn and winter selections, in order to increase the sales in department stores. For “urban fashion buildings” and “semi-urban commercial complexes”, which are new sales channels for us, we will start simultaneously in Japan and China a new brand, “Lovedrose”, with a new scheme unprecedented in our company. In addition, for virtual markets such as T.V. mail order sales and internet sales, which are expanding rapidly, we will participate on a full-scale basis through such measures as the start of sales of our new T.V. mail order sales exclusive brand “Partenaire” in April of this year.

With regard to overseas strategy, on the sales side, we will focus on the rapidly-growing Chinese market on par with the domestic market and make even stronger efforts to open stores and diversify sales channels, and at the same time, will in the future enter and gain footing in markets other than China, such as Southeast Asian markets (namely Singapore and Malaysia), and the Indian and Russian markets. On the production side, as a part of our “China-plus-one strategy” which eyes the entire Southeast Asia, production operations using exclusive lines in Vietnam will start beginning with this year’s autumn and winter selections, and we envision construction of directly-operated plants in the near future.

With regard to M&A strategy, as multiple companies acquired during these past several years have contributed to our income, we as a group will continue in the future to aggressively make efforts to expand our business scale and strengthen our revenue base.

In order to promote these business strategies, we will proactively make attempts to find and nurture competent personnel from both inside and outside our company, and will adopt stock options and make revisions to our personnel systems and wage structure. We will also establish a more efficient and stronger organization through measure such as fundamental reform of the logistics system and renewal of the computer system.

We would highly appreciate further guidance and support from our shareholders.
