Takefuji announces organizational changes and the appointment of Directors on Board,
Executive Officers and Corporate Auditors


Takefuji Corporation ("the Company") announced the appointment of Directors on Board, Executive Officers and Corporate Auditors as detailed below, following approval at the 37th Annual General Meeting of Shareholders and subsequent meeting of the Board of Directors held on June 29, 2004.

In order to secure and rebuild the transparency and reliability in the new organization having proper internal control system, the Company has decided to reduce the number of directors, to increase the number of independent directors and to introduce a new executive officer system. This new organization and executive officer system features the separation of the decision-making and supervision functions from the execution functions, with a view towards promoting the prompt and efficient execution of our business operation.
Going forward, we intend to make maximum efforts to grow and control the Company with strict compliance in mind. Moreover, we will continue to step up our customer service capabilities and constantly meet customers' latest needs, with our original principles of "Customer First" and "Operational Efficiency".

We continue to work toward the goal of "Making our company the most attractive place to work". Your coninued support would be much appreciated.
