Dissolution of a Subsidiary

This is to advise you that the Kyocera Corporation (the “Company”) has resolved at the meeting of its Board of Directors held on November 27, 2008 to dissolve a subsidiary, as set forth below.

1. Outline of Subsidiary to be Dissolved:

 

2. Reason for Dissolution:

This subsidiary provides repair services for PHS base stations supplied to China by the Company and by the former mobile phone business of SANYO Electric Co., Ltd. (currently included in the Corporate Communication Equipment Group of the Company). The Company has decided to dissolve and liquidate this subsidiary because the number of base stations to be repaired is decreasing, and further decline is expected in the future due to a substantial decline in the number of PHS subscribers in China. Repair services will continue to be provided under a new business structure without any change.

3. Schedule for Dissolution:

Liquidation procedures will be completed by the end of May 2009.

4. Effect to the Company’s Performance:

There will be no impact on the performance of the Company for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2009 as a result of the dissolution of this subsidiary.
