TOKYO, JAPAN, April 28, 2016 --- NTT DOCOMO, INC. announced today that at the meeting of its board of directors held today, April 28 2016, its board of directors approved a resolution for NTT DOCOMO's wholly-owned consolidated subsidiary mmbi, Inc. ("mmbi") to perform an absorption-type merger of mmbi's wholly-owned consolidated subsidiary Japan Mobilecasting, Inc. ("Japan Mobilecasting") effective July 1, 2016 (the "merger between subsidiaries"), and for NTT DOCOMO to perform an absorption-type merger with mmbi ("merger with NTT DOCOMO"; with the merger between subsidiaries, collectively referred to as the "merger") on the same day on the precedent condition that the merger between subsidiaries takes effect.

Certain disclosure information and details have been omitted because the merger between subsidiaries is a short form merger of consolidated subsidiaries and the merger with NTT DOCOMO is a simplified merger and short form merger with a wholly-owned consolidated subsidiary of NTT DOCOMO.

While the NTT DOCOMO group operates, through mmbi, a multimedia broadcast business for mobile devices and operates, through Japan Mobilecasting, a business providing a broadcasting station for multimedia broadcast for mobile devices, each such business will be concluded on June 30, 2016. Accordingly, the merger was decided upon because it was determined to be necessary to further streamline group management and speed up decision-making with the aim of efficiently dealing with the business remaining after each of mmbi and Japan Mobilecasting's respective businesses are concluded on June 30, 2016.
