Kobe Steel announced on April 26, 2007 that its Board of Directors decided to adopt the Policy on the Large-scale Purchasing of its Shares (Anti-takeover Measures) (hereinafter referred to as "this Policy"). Kobe Steel's defensive measure, on the basis of this Policy as Item 4 of matters to be resolved at the Company's 154th Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders, was approved by the shareholders today.
In accordance with this Policy, if the Board of Directors decides to implement defensive measures against a large-scale purchase of the Company's shares, the Board of Directors will resolve to distribute share purchase warrants that do not require the consideration of current shareholders (shinkabu yoyakuken musho wariate). This shelf registration enables Kobe Steel to promptly issue share purchase warrants if it deems necessary.
