The Announcement of Business Merger with Daiwa Odakyu Construction Co., Ltd.

We are announcing today, August 4th, 2015, Fujita Corporation ("Fujita") and Daiwa Odakyu Construction Co., Ltd. ("Daiwa Odakyu") have agreed on the business merger scheduled to be in effect on October 1st, 2015. We would like to ask your continuous support for our business.

1. The purpose of this merger

Both Fujita and Daiwa Odakyu have been engaging in business focused on construction, while Fujita has also been developing business overseas. Although there has been an increase in public construction works due to the earthquake and tsunami restoration, and an increase in construction investment due to the scheduled Tokyo Olympic is anticipated, the future of construction management remains unclear due to a predicted lack of labor and increased construction costs. In addition, it is expected that investment in construction will be gradually reduced in Japan.

Under these circumstances, we aim to maximize the Daiwa House Group's benefit with this merger. We will combine our resources to achieve maximum efficiency, as well as pursuing greater earning capacity with a nationwide construction business, and driving the expansion of overseas business.
