Notice on Approval from the Review Committee Meeting of Taiwan's GreTai Securities Market for the New Listing of Auto Server, a Portfolio Company of the SBI Group's Fund

Auto Server Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President and Representative Director: Masazumi Adachi; "Auto Server"), a portfolio company of the SBI Group's fund which operates an Internet-based used car distribution business in Japan, obtained an approval for listing on GreTai Securities Market (GTSM), the Taiwanese emerging equity market, from the Review Committee Meeting of GTSM on 11 November 2013. Accordingly, Auto Server is scheduled to be listed in late December 2013 or early January 2014. Auto Server's listing will be the first primary listing on GTSM by a Japanese company.
Auto Server, a leading company in the Internet-based used car distribution business in Japan, has drastically changed the conventional business where used car dealers participate in bidding in actual auction halls. By utilizing the Internet, it has established a platform connected to more than 80% of all actual used car auction bases in Japan, innovating used car transactions through e-commerce.
