OMRON Announces Spin-Off/Transfer of its MEMS Business through

a Simplified Absorption-Type Company Split, Etc.

OMRON Corporation (HQ; Shimogyo-ku, Kyoto; President and CEO: Yoshihito Yamada) announces that its Board of Directors resolved in its meeting held today to transfer its Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) business (hereinafter, the "Business to be Split") to its wholly-owned subsidiary that was established on July 20, 2021 (hereinafter, the "Subsidiary" or the "Successor Company"). The transfer will happen through a simplified absorption-type company split (hereinafter, the "Company Split"), and will take effect on September 30, 2021.

All shares of the Subsidiary will be assigned to Mitsumi Electric Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of MinebeaMitsumi Inc. (hereinafter, the Company Split and the share assignment shall be collectively referred to as the "Company Split, Etc.") on October 1, 2021.

Please note that, as the Company Split is a simplified absorption-type company split involving OMRON and the Subsidiary, some of its disclosure items and details have been omitted from this release.

1. Objectives of the Company Split, Etc.

The Business to be Split is responsible for developing and manufacturing pressure sensors, flow sensors, thermal sensors, and other components that fuse MEMS, CMOS, and analog IC technologies, with primary destinations including OMRON's healthcare business and electronic components business.

While shifting its resources from the device business to the solution business in pursuit of sustainable growth by solving social issues through its businesses, OMRON has decided that it would be best to purchase MEMS devices from external partners specializing in devices. The MinebeaMitsumi Group is an "INTEGRATION manufacturer of precision

components" boasting a wide range of product lines, including bearings, motors, sensors, and semiconductors. The decision to transfer the Business to be Split was made because it was concluded that the transfer of semiconductor process development technology, production technology, and related assets that belong to the Business to be Split would be highly synergistic, helping to expand the Business to be Split and create new businesses.
