(hereinafter referred to as "Nippon Steel Drum"), have decided to purchase the idle land owned by Hitachi, Ltd. located in Minami-hama, Yanai City, and to construct a new factory. The new factory will be our fifth factory and will be named "Yanai Factory." The purpose and overview of the Yanai Factory construction are as follows: 1.
