Notice Regarding the Organizational Structure Change

Tosei Corporation (the “Company”) hereby announces that the Board of Directors at the meeting held today has resolved the following organizational structure change.


1.  Organizational Structure Change
We will establish new business organizations as part of the development of systems to promote the next medium-term management plan that we are currently developing.

I.   Group Strategy Department
II.  Asset Solution Department 1 Section 3
III.  Asset Solution Department 3 Section 3


2.  Main operations of each organization
I.   Group Strategy Department
Strengthening of Group governance and development of systems to promote M&A
In the Group, the quantitative expansion of its business, such as the expansion of business size and advancement into peripheral business areas, as well as increases in subsidiaries and employees using M&A and diversification of the Group’s business, are progressing, and the Group is in a situation where it very much needs to improve its management efficiency and the effectiveness of cross-cutting risk management across the Group. For this reason, we will manage risks and compliance, etc., including those of Group companies, in a comprehensive manner by establishing a Group Strategy Department.
In addition to strengthening the Group governance function above, we will also promote M&A of companies with real estate holdings and peripheral business operators exclusively and strategically for the purpose of establishing a new business foundation.


II.  Asset Solution Department 1 Section 3
Further strengthening of purchase and sales
To further strengthen our purchase and sales in the Revitalization Business and the Development Business, the growth drivers of the Group, we will set up Section 3 under the current Asset Solution Department 1.


III.  Asset Solution Department 3 Section 3
Preparation for a real estate specified joint enterprise using crowdfunding
Ahead of the solicitation of investment through crowdfunding based on the Real Estate Specified Joint Enterprise Act (Act No. 77 of 1994 including subsequent amendments), which will be revised and enforced on December 1, 2017, and the implementation of a specified joint real estate venture that will become the destination of the investment, we will set up Section 3 under the current Asset Solution Department 3 to proceed with preparations such as the acquisition of approvals and licenses and the study of product details.
As an approach to crowdfunding, we will study the design and development of products using the expertise in value regeneration we have cultivated in our Revitalization Business and Fund and Consulting Business.
