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 SANEI-INTERNATIONAL CO.,LTD. (“SANEI”) 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 SANEI 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 corporate value, the Company and SANEI 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 SANEI, and the Company and SANEI 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 SANEI 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 SANEI, 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

  

Company

  

SANEI

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 the Company, and 1.65 shares of common stock of “TSI HOLDINGS CO., LTD.” will be allotted and delivered for each share of common stock of SANEI 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 the Company or SANEI 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 the Company (102,507,668 shares) and those of SANEI (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 (Company: 14,402,930 shares; SANEI: 1,000,342 shares) have not been included as shares to be exchanged with the new shares in calculating the above number because the Company and SANEI 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, the Company and SANEI 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 the Company nor SANEI has obtained a fairness opinion (evaluation on fairness) from a third-party institution.

 

46


 

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 the Company and SANEI 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 SANEI vis-à-vis one share of common stock of the Company.

 

    

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.

 

47


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 SANEI vis-à-vis one share of common stock of the Company.

 

    

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, the Company requested ABeam M&A Consulting and SANEI 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 the Company or SANEI.

Based on the foregoing, SANEI 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 SANEI plans to withdraw from the said fund by March of 2011.

Notes Regarding Financial Instruments

 

1. Matters regarding status of financial instruments

 

  (1) Action policy for financial instruments

The Company Group accommodates necessary funds (mainly in the form of bank loans) mainly in light of the store-opening plans for the apparel business. Temporary excess funds are managed in low-risk accounts such as bank deposits, and short-term working capital is accommodated by bank loans. Derivatives are utilized to avoid risks, and it is our policy not to conduct any speculative transactions.

 

  (2) Details and risks of financial instruments

Notes receivables and accounts receivables, which are operating receivables, are exposed to clients’ credit risks. In addition, operating receivables that are denominated in foreign currencies and that accrue due to operating business overseas are exposed to risks related to exchange rate fluctuations.

Investment securities are mainly shares of companies in the same sector or companies with which business relationship is maintained, and are exposed to risks related to market value fluctuations.

Lease guarantees and deposits are mainly paid-in guarantees in conjunction with opening stores, and are exposed to payees’ credit risks.

Notes payables and accounts payables, which are operating liabilities, are with payment deadlines within 1 year. In addition, some of them are denominated in foreign currencies in conjunction with importing materials and the like and are exposed to risks related to exchange rate fluctuations.

 

72


Short-term loans payable are to finance working capital and long-term loans payable are to finance funds for capital spending. The redemption dates are after the account closing dates and are, at maximum, 7 and a half years later. Some of the loans payable are exposed to risks related to interest rate fluctuations.

Derivative transactions are exchange contract transactions to hedge risks related to exchange rates for operating liabilities and scheduled transactions denominated in foreign currencies, and interest rate swap transactions to hedge risks related to fluctuation of interests to be paid in relation to long-term loans payable.

 

  (3) Risk management system for financial instruments

 

  (i) Management of credit risks (risks related to defaults, etc. by business partners)

In accordance with the credit management rules, the Company Group, through its Business Development Office, with cooperation of the Finance and Accounting Department, manages due dates and outstanding balances for the respective major business partners, and seeks to promptly identify and lessen concerns for collections due to deterioration of financial condition, etc..

Concerning lease and guarantee deposits, the Store Development Department, with cooperation of the Finance and Accounting Department, seeks to promptly identify and lessen concerns for collections by identifying payees’ credit conditions at execution of lease agreements as well as regularly after start of occupancy.

Concerning utilization of derivative transactions, we understand that credit risks are almost nonexistent because we limit the counterparties to financial institutions with high ratings.

 

  (ii) Management of market risks (risks related to fluctuations of exchange rates, interest rates, etc.)

By utilizing exchange contracts, the Company Group generally hedges risks related to future exchange rate fluctuations concerning operating liabilities and scheduled transactions denominated in foreign currencies. In addition, the Company utilizes interest rate swap transactions to avoid risks related to fluctuations of interests to be paid in relation to long-term loans payable.

Concerning investment securities, market values, issuers’ financial conditions, etc. are regularly identified and status of ownership is continuously reviewed by taking into account relationship with business partners.

Derivative transactions are matters that require an application by the general manager of the Finance and Accounting Department to, and permission from, the board of directors, and the balance, appraised loss and profit, etc. are monitored by the Finance and Accounting Division after the execution and reported timely to the general manager of the Finance and Accounting Department. When the general manager of the Finance and Accounting Department finds necessary, reports will be made to the directors in charge.

 

  (iii) Management of risks related to liquidity in connection with financing (risks of not being able to make payments when due)

The Company Group manages liquidity-related risks by the Finance and Accounting Division timely preparing and updating financing plans based on reports from the respective business divisions and continuously maintaining on-hand liquidity.

 

73


 

(4) Supplementary explanation on matters regarding market values of financial instruments, etc.

The market value of a financial instrument includes the value based on the market price and, if there is no market price, the value that has been reasonably calculated. As factors that contribute to fluctuations are taken into account in the calculation of the value, the value may fluctuate depending on the adoption of different conditions precedent, etc.

 

2. Matters concerning market values, etc. of financial instruments

The amounts recorded in the consolidated balance sheet as of August 31, 2010, market values and differences between the foregoing are as stated below. Those with respect to which identifying market values is extremely difficult are not included in the following table (please see (Note 2)).

(Note 1) Matters regarding methods to calculate market values of financial instruments, and investment securities and derivative transactions

 

Assets

 

  (1) Cash and deposits

Because market value is close to book value as deposits are all short-term, such book value is stated.

 

  (2) Notes receivable and accounts receivable

Because market value is close to book value as they are settled in a short period of time, such book value is stated.

 

74


 

  (3) Investment securities

Shares are based on stock exchange price or price provided by a correspondent financial institution.

 

  (4) Lease and guarantee deposits

These are calculated based on the present value, which is the future cash flow discounted by an appropriate interest rate, such as an interest rate for government bonds.

 

  Liabilities

 

  (1) Notes payable and accounts payable; and (2) Short-term loans payable

Because market value is close to book value as they are settled in a short period of time, such book value is stated.

 

  (3) Long-term loans payable

Because market value is close to book value as market interest rate is reflected in a short period of time on long-term loans payable with a variable interest rate, such book value is stated. In addition, those with fixed interest rates are calculated based on the present value, which is the total of the principal and interest discounted by an interest rate anticipated when it is newly borrowed.

 

  Derivative transactions

Market values are the prices provided by correspondent financial institutions. However, because those allocated under exchange contracts are handled together with accounts payable subject to hedging, their market values are included in the market values of the relevant accounts payable. Furthermore, because those handled as exceptions to interest rate swaps are handled together with long-term loans payable subject to hedging, their market values are stated as a part of the market values of the relevant long-term loans payable.

 

(Note 2) Financial instruments of which the identification of market values is extremely difficult

With respect to the above, because market prices are not available and identification of market values is found to be extremely difficult, they are not included in “(3) Investment securities”.

In addition, security deposits and guarantees with respect to which timing of scheduled redemption in the future cannot be reasonably forecasted are not included in “(4) Lease and guarantee deposits” because estimation of their future cash flow is found to be difficult.

  (Execution of an agreement concerning incorporation of a joint shareholding company)

The Company and TOKYO STYLE CO., LTD. (“TOKYO STYLE”) resolved, at the board of directors meetings of both companies held on October 14, 2010, to enter into a share transfer agreement (the “Share Transfer Agreement”) regarding the establishment of a joint holding company on June 1, 2011 (tentative) through a joint share transfer (the “Share Transfer”), subject to approval of the respective meetings of shareholders of each company, and jointly prepared a share transfer plan (the “Share Transfer Plan”).

Based on the Share Transfer Plan, the Company and TOKYO STYLE plan to establish a joint holding company, TSI HOLDINGS CO., LTD., (“Joint Holding Company”) by way of the Share Transfer scheduled to become effective on June 1, 2011 (tentative). We intend to apply for the listing of shares of the Joint Holding Company on the first section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange (“TSE First Section”), and the shares of the Company and TOKYO STYLE which are currently listed on the TSE First Section are scheduled to be delisted before the effective date of the Share Transfer.

 

77


 

  (1) Purpose of management integration by the Share Transfer

Amid a situation where more time is required for full-scale recovery of consumers’ mindset due to heightened consumer consciousness in protecting their everyday lives such as restraining from unnecessary or non-urgent expenses, 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 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 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.

A share unit for the Joint Holding Company is scheduled to be 100 shares.
   In case there is any fraction of less than one share of common stock of the Joint Holding Company that is to be delivered to the shareholders of the Company or TOKYO STYLE 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.

(Execution of an agreement concerning incorporation of a joint shareholding company)

The Company and TOKYO STYLE CO., LTD. (“TOKYO STYLE”) resolved, at the board of directors meetings of both companies held on October 14, 2010, to enter into a share transfer agreement (the “Share Transfer Agreement”) regarding the establishment of a joint holding company on June 1, 2011 (tentative) through a joint share transfer (the “Share Transfer”), subject to approval of the respective meetings of shareholders of each company, and jointly prepared a share transfer plan (the “Share Transfer Plan”).

Based on the Share Transfer Plan, the Company and TOKYO STYLE plan to establish a joint holding company, TSI HOLDINGS CO., LTD., (“Joint Holding Company”) by way of the Share Transfer scheduled to become effective on June 1, 2011 (tentative). We intend to apply for the listing of shares of the Joint Holding Company on the first section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange (“TSE First Section”), and the shares of the Company and TOKYO STYLE which are currently listed on the TSE First Section are scheduled to be delisted before the effective date of the Share Transfer.

  (1) Purpose of management integration by the Share Transfer

Amid a situation where more time is required for full-scale recovery of consumers’ mindset due to heightened consumer consciousness in protecting their everyday lives such as restraining from unnecessary or non-urgent expenses, 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 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 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.
