2) |
Reason for the dissolution |
|
Ohlins Management AB, a consolidated subsidiary of Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd., was established in Sweden in July 1987 as a holding company for Ohlin Racing AB. Ohlins Management AB reviewed its capital alliance with Ohlins Racing AB, and then sold the stocks of Ohlins Racing AB it owned to Mr. Kenth Ohlin (95%) and Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd. (5%). As this terminated the function of Ohlins Management AB as a holding company, Yamaha Motor decided to dissolve this consolidated subsidiary. |
|
|
3) |
Schedule |
|
The liquidation is scheduled to be completed in December 2008. |
|
|
4) |
Effects moving forward |
|
The dissolution of Ohlins Management AB is expected to have an insignificant impact on the consolidated and non-consolidated business results of Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd. |

In July 2006, the business was transferred to a third party, and the disposition of its real estate (land and buildings) was initiated. As the real estate transfer contract has been executed, Yamaha Motor decided to dissolve this consolidated subsidiary.
