Notice of Application for

Particulars

1.Reason for delisting
Riken's common stock is traded on the Tokyo, Osaka, and Nagoya Stock Exchanges.
In recent years the numbers of shares of the company's common stock traded on the Osaka, and Nagoya Stock Exchanges has been quite low. Accordingly, the company has decided to apply for delisting from these two exchanges. We expect that this will have minimal impact on shareholders and investors.
