Tokyo Stock Exchange: Name Change Of TOPIX Sector Index

Date 30/05/2003

As made public by Tokyo Stock Exchange, Inc. last year, TSE will change the industrial sector name of "Communication" to "Information & Communication" from June 2, 2003. Some companies will be assigned to "Information & Communication" from other sectors on the same day and such companies will be included as constituents of the Information & Communication sector index (and will therefore no longer be a part of their present sector index) after the close of trading on May 30, 2003.
