MINEBEA MITSUMI Inc.

Commencement of Soil Purification Measures at our former Ichinoseki Plant

This is to announce that environment pollutants such as trichloroethylene have been found to remain in part of our former Ichinoseki Plant, which was closed due to the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011, located at 2-chome, Yamame-cho, Ichinoseki-shi, Iwate Prefecture, as a result of a further investigation conducted in preparation for the demolition of the factory building, as shown below, though the soil purification measures there were completed in 2011.
We have decided to complete the ongoing investigation of the plant by the end of this August and to implement the countermeasures immediately thereafter.

Trichloroethylene from less than 0.003 up to 280 mg/l
Cis-1,2-dichloroethylene from less than 0.004 up to 32 mg/l
Chloroethylene from less than 0.0002 up to 1.0 mg/l

The countermeasures will be promptly taken under the guidance of Iwate Prefecture while communicating with neighboring residents.

There is no impact on the performance of MINEBEA MITSUMI Inc. regarding this incident.
