Additional Assistance in Relation to the Great East Japan Earthquake Devastation

We, at the Komatsu Group, pray for the response of the souls of those who were killed by the Great East Japan Earthquake and tsunami and extend our sincere condolences to all people who have been suffering from this massive disaster.

At present, while we are working to engage in the maintenance service of construction equipment in operation at the affected areas, we are also offering relief assistance largely in the form of lending our construction equipment, forklift trucks, temporary housing units, power generators and other equipment, all free of charge. Worth JPY800 million, these equipment and facilities are also urgently needed by the concerned municipal governments.
It is projected that reconstruction of the affected areas will take a long time. We are anticipating that we will continue to receive requests for equipment from the municipal governments. In light of these conditions, we are going to offer additional assistance in a similar form, centering on free-of-charge lending of Komatsu Group's equipment and facilities, worth JPY800 million (total assistance in value: JPY1.6 billion).

We are determined to continue into the future our group-wide assistance aimed at the reconstruction of the affected areas.
