Notification Regarding Change of Company Name

Dai-ichi Seiko Co., Ltd. hereby informs you that at a meeting of the board of directors held on February 20, 2020, a resolution to submit the following matters to the 57th Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders scheduled on March 27, 2020 was adopted:

A change of its company name, and some changes to its Articles of Incorporation.

Dai-ichi Seiko was established in 1963 as a manufacturer specialized in high precision molds. We devoted ourselves to improve our skills for mold microfabrication, and expanded our business to other fields such as connectors, which are very important for mobile information devices, and sensors, which are capable of reading information that was difficult to detect back then. With a solid base of good customers, Dai-ichi Seiko was listed and has been thriving as a company that has functions of both a contract parts manufacturer and a consulting manufacturer. Going forward, on the basis of our manufacturing DNA that we have fostered until today, we will strive to grow sustainably as "an expert in innovative product development & engineering solutions", who create new value, staying one step ahead of the needs of the times.

As part of the above efforts, we decided to unify the company name and corporate brand into "I-PEX", with which we intend to present our future corporate image and make our brand better known around the globe.

Propelled by this company name change, all employees in our company group will unite under "I-PEX" and provide original technology, products, and solutions, to make it a global brand that is trusted and beloved.
