EXTRAORDINARY SHAREHOLDERS MEETING Reference Documents for the Exercise of Voting Rights for the Extraordinary Shareholders Meeting Agenda Item No. 1: Partial amendment to the articles of incorporation regarding the issue of class shares 1. Reason for proposal As announced in the Company s press release dated April 11, 2013 titled Notice Regarding Results of Joint Tender Offer for Share Certificates Etc. of Jupiter Telecommunications Co., Ltd. by KDDI Corporation and NJ Corporation and Changes in the Parent Company and the Largest and Major Shareholder, KDDI CORPORATION ( KDDI ) and NJ K.K. ( NJ ; KDDI and NJ collectively, the Tender Offerors ), the voting rights of which are owned in equal number by Sumitomo Corporation ( Sumitomo ), conducted the tender offer (the Tender Offer ) for all of the Company s issued common shares and the Company s stock acquisition rights on and after February 27, 2013, and the Tender Offer concluded on April 10, 2013. As a result of the Tender Offer, as of April 17, 2013 (the date on which the account settlement of the Tender Offer commences), KDDI holds 2,930,816 shares (a 42.69% (rounded off to the nearest two decimal places; hereinafter the same) shareholding ratio, and including 152,904 shares of the Company s common shares entrusted to Mizuho Trust & Banking Co., Ltd. for the securities custodial trust which fall under the share certificates, etc. held by KDDI pursuant to Article 7, Paragraph 1, Item 1 of the Enforcement Order of the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act (Cabinet Order No. 321, 1965; as amended), and NJ holds 553,679 shares of the Company s common shares (an 8.07% shareholding ratio) and 1,922 stock acquisition rights of the Company (the number of shares of the Company s common shares upon conversion is 1,922 shares). In combining those shares with 2,777,912 shares of the Company s common shares (a 40.47% shareholding ratio) held by Sumitomo, the number of shares of the Company s common shares held by Sumitomo and the Tender Offerors amounts to 6,262,407 shares (a 91.23% shareholding ratio). The shareholding ratio is a percentage, calculated using a denominator of 6,864,645 shares that is the number of the shares that is equal to 6,947,813 shares (which is the total number of issued shares of the Company as of March 31, 2013 indicated in the quarterly report for the first quarter of the 20th fiscal year filed by the Company on May 14, 2013) less 83,168 shares (which is the number of treasury shares held by the Company as of March 31, 2013). As announced in Sumitomo and the Tender Offerors joint statement released on February 26, 2013 titled Notice on Joint Tender Offer for Share Certificates etc. of Jupiter Telecommunications Co., Ltd. by KDDI CORPORATION and NJ K.K. (Notice on Raise in the Tender Offer Price Announced on October 24, 2012) and KDDI and NJ s tender offer registration statement dated February 27, 2013, Sumitomo and KDDI have come to share the understanding that based on the awareness that the business environment surrounding the Company has been becoming gradually severer, in order to maintain and improve the Company s competitive advantage and realize the Company s sustainable growth by permanently providing high-quality services satisfactory to customers, it is extremely important to enable proactive investment in the Company of management resources held by both companies, by deepening the alliance between Sumitomo, KDDI and the Company and privatizing the Company and establishing a joint management system by Sumitomo and KDDI. Specifically, further accelerating various measures including expanding the business scale through the integration of the cable TV business of the Company and that of Japan Cablenet Limited ( JCN ), a member of the KDDI group, is of great importance. Moreover, it is also critical to establish a management system that enables the Company to work on revolutionary new products and new services by devoting management resources including research and development and capital expenditure to such projects from a medium to long term perspective, while avoiding, through privatizing the Company, aiming for a short-term improvement in performance with its focus on the capital market, where corporate value might be evaluated by a short-term fluctuation of performance, as a listed company. Sumitomo and KDDI concluded that it would be best for them to conduct a series of transactions (the Transaction ) for the purpose of the implementation of the Tender Offer and the subsequent acquisition by either Sumitomo, KDDI, and NJ or Sumitomo and KDDI of all the issued shares of the Company (excluding, however, the treasury shares held by the Company) and to jointly manage the Company equally at an investment ratio of 50:50, and executed the Shareholders Agreement between Sumitomo and KDDI regarding the joint operation of the Company. As announced in the Company s press release dated February 26, 2013 titled Notice of Company s Opinion on Joint Tender Offer for Share Certificates etc. of the Company by KDDI Corporation and NJ Corporation, taking into consideration the advices received from Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities Co., Ltd, the Company s financial adviser, and Mori Hamada & Matsumoto, the Company s legal advisor as well as the content of the written reports dated October 23, 2012 and February 25, 2013 (the Written Reports ) of the third-party committee consisting of Mr. Shiro Kuniya, an attorney at Oh-Ebashi LPC & Partners, Mr. Nobumichi Hattori, a visiting professor of Graduate School of Finance, Accounting and Law of Waseda University, and Mr. Toru Mio, a representative director of Mio & - 3 -

Company Inc. and Oct Advisors Inc., and the content of the share price valuation reports (the Share Price Valuation Reports ) and the fairness opinions (the Fairness Opinions ) dated October 23, 2012 and February 25, 2013 of Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities Co., Ltd, the Company carefully discussed and examined the terms of the Transaction including the Tender Offer. The Company concluded, based on the discussions and examinations above, that the Transaction would contribute to an increase in the corporate value of the Company in light of potential business expansion as a result of the integration of the cable television business of JCN and the Company, the effective utilization of the management resources of Sumitomo and KDDI, and the deepening of relations with Sumitomo and KDDI in various business areas, including the media industry. Also, the Company concluded that the price of the purchase, etc. of the Company s common shares in the Tender Offer (the Tender Offer Price ) which is 123,000 yen per common share is appropriate and that the Tender Offer provides the Company s shareholders with a reasonable opportunity to sell their shares when taking into consideration (i) that the Tender Offer Price exceeded the upper end of calculation results of the DCF analyses and comparable companies analyses, and it was determined in the Fairness Opinions that the Tender Offer Price was appropriate for the Company s shareholders from a financial perspective, (ii) that the price was raised from the initial tender offer price of 110,000 yen that was announced on October 24, 2012, as a result of the discussions and negotiations of raising the tender offer price with Sumitomo and KDDI, and (iii) that it is reported in the Written Reports that the Tender Offer Price was appropriate even considering trends in the stock market on and after October 24, 2012. For the stock acquisition rights, the Company also concluded that the purchase price of the stock acquisition rights provided the stock acquisition right holders with a reasonable opportunity to sell their stock acquisition rights, because the purchase price of each stock acquisition right was calculated by multiplying the Tender Offer Price less the exercise price of the stock acquisition rights by the number of common shares allotted for each stock acquisition right exercised. Taking into account the points described above as well as requests from Sumitomo and KDDI, the Company recently decided to take the following procedures (collectively the Privatizing Procedures ) necessary for Sumitomo, KDDI and NJ to hold all of the issued shares of the Company subject to the approval of the shareholders at the Extraordinary Shareholders Meeting and the Class Shareholders Meeting: (i) (ii) (iii) To partially amend the Company s articles of incorporation by establishing provisions to the effect that the Company may issue class A shares (the Class A Shares ) separately from the existing common shares and preferred shares on the terms prescribed in Article 10 of the proposed amendment to the articles of incorporation as described in 2 below ( Procedure 1 ); To further partially amend the Company s articles of incorporation after the amendment in accordance with Procedure 1, by establishing provisions to the effect that all common shares issued by the Company are subjected to a call option entitling the Company to buy them back in their entirety (meaning the provision on the matters provided for in Article 108, Paragraph 1, Item (vii) of the Companies Act; hereinafter the same) (the Company s common shares after being subjected to a call option entitling the Company to buy them back in their entirety shall be hereinafter referred to as the Common Shares Subject to Wholly Call ), and to prescribe the provisions to the effect that if the Company acquires all of the Common Shares Subject to Wholly Call (excluding, however, the treasury shares held by the Company; hereinafter the same) by the special resolution of the shareholders meeting, the Company will deliver the Class A Shares at the ratio of 1/694,478 of a share in exchange for one Common Share Subject to Wholly Call ( Procedure 2 ); and Pursuant to Article 171, Paragraph 1 of the Companies Act and the Company s articles of incorporation after the amendment in accordance with Procedures 1 and 2, the Company will acquire all of the Common Shares Subject to Wholly Call by the special resolution of the shareholders meeting, and deliver to the holders of Common Shares Subject to Wholly Call (other than the Company) the Class A Shares at the ratio of 1/694,478 of a share per one Common Share Subject to Wholly Call held by the relevant shareholders as the acquisition price in exchange for such acquisition. The number of the Class A Shares to be delivered as the acquisition price to each shareholder other than Sumitomo and KDDI is expected to be a fractional number less than one share. Cash will be ultimately delivered to each shareholder who receives Class A Shares less than one share in accordance with the provisions of Article 234 of the Companies Act and other relevant laws and ordinances ( Procedure 3 ). If a fractional number of Class A Shares less than one share arises from the delivery of the Class A Shares as the acquisition price for the Common Shares Subject to Wholly Call, the Company will sell the Class A Shares equivalent to the total sum of the fractions (in cases where the total sum includes a fractional number less than one share, such fraction will be rounded down pursuant to Article 234, Paragraph 1 of the Companies Act), and will deliver the proceeds of that sale to the shareholders in proportion to the fractions attributed to them. - 4 -

With respect to the sale procedures described above, the Company plans to sell the Class A Shares to NJ with the permission of the court in accordance with the provisions of Article 234, Paragraph 2 of the Companies Act. The sale price of the Class A Shares in this case will, if the necessary permission of the court is obtained, be set as the price in which the cash equivalent to the number of the Common Shares Subject to Wholly Call held by each holder of Common Shares Subject to Wholly Call multiplied by 123,000 yen (the Tender Offer Price) may be delivered to each shareholder. This Agenda Item is to propose the Privatizing Procedure Procedure 1, wherein provisions will be newly established to the effect that the class shares (the Class A Shares) differing from the common shares that will be delivered in exchange for the acquisition of all the common shares may be issued, in order to allow for the execution of Procedure 2 by which the articles of incorporation are amended to the effect that the common shares of the Company will be subjected to the call option entitling the Company to buy them back in their entirety. Other necessary amendments are also made. Because the Company does not plan to issue preferred shares for the time being, the provisions of the articles of incorporation regarding preferred shares are deleted. 2. Details of amendment The articles of incorporation are amended as follows. The partial amendment to the articles of incorporation in relation to this Agenda Item will become effective at the time that this Agenda Item is approved by the Extraordinary Shareholders Meeting.

Reason for proposal As explained in Agenda Item No. 1 of the Extraordinary Shareholders Meeting (pp 2 through 6 of the Reference Documents for the Exercise of Voting Rights for the Extraordinary Shareholders Meeting), the Company concluded that the Transaction will contribute to an increase in the corporate value of the Company, that the Tender Offer Price is appropriate, and that the Tender Offer provides the Company s shareholders with a reasonable opportunity to sell their shares. Consequently, the Company decided to take the Privatizing Procedures subject to obtaining the approval of the shareholders at the Extraordinary Shareholders Meeting and the Class Shareholders Meeting. In this Agenda Item, the Privatizing Procedure Procedure 2 is proposed, whereby the Company s articles of incorporation as amended pursuant to Agenda Item No. 1 of the Extraordinary Shareholders Meeting are further partially amended so that provisions of the articles of incorporation are newly established to the effect that all of the common shares issued by the Company are to be Common Shares Subject to Wholly Call by subjecting the common shares to the call option entitling the Company to buy them back in their entirety. The Company is a corporation with class shares (as defined under Article 2, Item (xiii) of the Companies Act), thus in order to make the amendment to its articles of incorporation necessary for conducting Procedure 2, it is required to obtain approval of the class shareholders meeting consisting of the shareholders holding the common shares of the Company, pursuant to Article 111, Paragraph 2, Item (i) of the Companies Act. Accordingly, the Company hereby convenes the Class Shareholders Meeting together with the Extraordinary Shareholders Meeting and asks the shareholders for their approval.

Please be informed that when Agenda Item No. 3 of the Extraordinary Shareholders Meeting is approved by the Extraordinary Shareholders Meeting as proposed, after Procedure 2, the Company is to acquire all of the Common Shares Subject to Wholly Call from the shareholders (Procedure 3). The acquisition price to be paid by the Company to the shareholders in exchange for such acquisition will be the Class A Shares authorized to be newly issued pursuant to the amendment to the articles of incorporation in Agenda Item No. 1 of the Extraordinary Shareholders Meeting, and the number of the Class A Shares to be allotted to the shareholders per one Common Share Subject to Wholly Call will be 1/694,478 of a share, so that the number of the Class A Shares to be delivered to all shareholders other than Sumitomo and KDDI will be a fractional number less than one share. 2.
