Toshiba Corporation (hereinafter referred to as "Toshiba"; headquarters: Tokyo; President: Norio Sasaki) will deliver the steam turbine generators, which are the principal pieces of equipment for the project, and operations are expected to start in April of 2014. Furthermore, a construction fund has been provided with support of yen credit extended by the Japanese Government through the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), among others, with the total amount of the order reaching approximately JPY30 billion.   This geothermal power generating project will take place in the Olkaria district, which is located approximately 100km northwest of Kenya's capital city, Nairobi, with an electricity output of 140,000kW for each of the two plants, to produce total electricity output of 280,000kW. This is the largest geothermal power generating project in Kenya, comprising 25% of the country's overall power generating capacity. This will be the first geothermal power generating project for Toyota Tsusho.   The geothermal power generating capacity of the Republic of Kenya is currently held at about 1,100,000kW of which hydro-electric power comprises 490,000kW or about 44% of the country's overall power generating capacity. In recent years, insufficient generating capacity has been compounded by lack of water due to drought, which has decreased operation and lead to a pressing need to secure a stable source of electricity. With this project, geothermal power generating capacity will be more than double, which will significantly contribute to mitigating the electric power shortages of the country.   Geothermal power generation is a method of power generation involving the use of natural steam that spurts out of a well dug deep into the ground and turns turbines. The significant characteristic is that it is a renewable source of energy that contributes to environmental conservation, due to the small amount of greenhouse gas (carbon dioxide) produced. Toyota Tsusho considers the resources and energy business as one of its critical fields, and the company will undertake a broad range of infrastructure projects in the future for electric power and energy with consideration for the needs of local areas.   [Summary of contract] Contract signatory Kenya Electricity Generating Company Ltd.

The sporting goods market itself is also continuing with high growth, with an average annual growth rate of 28.6% and it is estimated that by the year 2012 this market in China will have a scale of more than JPY1.8 trillion, which will exceed the country's counterpart market in Japan, which has a scale of JPY1.7 trillion. Furthermore, the heightened interest in health in recent years resulted in the three principal cities of Shanghai, Beijing and Guangzhou dominating the market with a 20% share.   In such an environment, Xebio has been proactively recruiting Chinese personnel and proceeding with various preparations, including collaboration for the promotion of Chinese winter sports with the General Administration of Sports of China ahead of entering into the Chinese market.   The new company to be established will develop large-scale comprehensive sporting goods retail stores by maximizing the know-how of Xebio, nurtured through their implementation of a sporting goods retail chain with 426 stores in Japan (as of September 2011, excluding franchisees) and Toyota Tsusho's Chinese network and infrastructure, as well as the functions of a comprehensive supplier that range in activities from raw material development to product manufacturing and sales.   The first store is planned to be opened within the City of Shanghai in the spring of 2012 and the development of stores in various locations of China will be accelerated, using this launch in the urban area of Shanghai as a starting point.   In the future, products and stores from private brands (PB) planned jointly by Japan and China will be developed, which incorporate the local needs in China in addition to the quality of Japanese brands, which is gaining a high degree of trust and positive evaluations in China. Sales locations will then be expanded in order to take in the growing market, with store No. 1 at the core.   [Corporate summary of new company] Name Xebio (China) Co., Ltd.
