COSMO OIL CO LTD Cosmo Oil Co., Ltd. ("COSMO") and Sogo Energy Corporation ("Sogo Energy") resolved, at its Board of Directors' meeting held on August 4, 2015, to make Sogo Energy a wholly-owned subsidiary of COSMO by way of a share exchange to be made on September 1, 2015, and concluded a Share Exchange Agreement, as described below.
Because the Share Exchange will be implemented through a simplified share exchange (kani kabushiki kokan) procedure for making a consolidated subsidiary of COSMO to a wholly-owned subsidiary of COSMO, some items and details have been partially omitted in the disclosure.
Sogo Energy has become a consolidated subsidiary of COSMO (holding 99.97% of total shares issued) in January 2013 through the acquisition of shares owned by Sojitz Corporation (holding 97.0% of total shares issued), and the shares owned by oil companies and banks (holding 2.7% of total shares issued).
For further enhancement of group management in step with organizational restructuring regarding the transformation to a Holding (HD) Company, COSMO will make Sogo Energy a wholly-owned subsidiary by exchanging shares of Sogo Energy owned by minority shareholders with the shares of COSMO.
