The capital increase will take place in stages. First, KDDI will add USD 240.5 million, then Sumitomo will invest USD 249.5 million, and then the two companies will undertake a capital increase through third-party allocation. Sumitomo's investment in the JV is subject to approval by local authorities under the antitrust laws of the related countries.
