【PARK24 Co., Ltd. 】Notice of the Conclusion of a Stock Trading Agreement Making Rescue Network Co., Ltd. a Subsidiary

PARK24 Co., Ltd. announces that it has concluded a sales contract today on the acquisition of shares in NMC Fund 7 Corporation, the holding company of Rescue Network Co., Ltd., to make Rescue Network a subsidiary under a resolution adopted at a meeting of the Board of Directors held today.

1. Reasons for acquiring shares

 

The Group will acquire all shares in NMC Fund 7 Corporation, which holds 100% of the stock of Rescue Network Co., Ltd., which operates a road service business and a contact center business using a network of approximately 8,500 towing operators and maintenance facilities throughout Japan, to make Rescue Network a subsidiary of the Group.

 Under the corporate slogan of 'People, Cars, Communities, and (Times),' PARK24 advanced into the rental car business in March 2009 by acquiring shares in Mazda Car Rental Corporation. It then began providing car sharing services based on synergy between the parking business and the rental car business to create a comfortable motorized society.

 PARK24 will bolster the operations and back-end of its rental car and car sharing services by acquiring the shares and making Rescue Network its subsidiary. It will also maximize its corporate value by continuing to pursue synergy with the Group to provide a range of services, including a road service, automobile inspection, and car maintenance, to more than three million members of the point program 'Times Club' and to its customers.
