Tokyo, Japan, April 24, 2019 - Kyowa Hakko Kirin Co., Ltd. ("Kyowa Hakko Kirin") previously announced that it had concluded an agreement to transfer 95% of its shareholdings in its consolidated subsidiary Kyowa Hakko Bio Co., Ltd. to Kirin Holdings Company Limited as stated in the news release "Notice Concerning Share Transfer Associated with Change in a Consolidated Company and (Expected) Gain on Transfer,"*1 dated February 5, 2019. Accordingly, Kyowa Hakko Kirin hereby announces that as of today, April 24, 2019, it has completed the transfer of those shares amounting to 95% of Kyowa Hakko Kirin's holdings (95 shares), according to plan.

Upon the transfer of shares, Kyowa Hakko Kirin's shareholding percentage amounts to 5% of the shares of Kyowa Hakko Bio, thereby excluding Kyowa Hakko Bio from the scoop of consolidation.
