AVEX GROUP NEXT ERA 2014 10 Avex’s Mid-term Growth Image EXISISTING BUSINESS ●We estimate continuous decline in the ”Record Company Business” that deals with music package and digital distribution. ●However, we plan to compensate the decline of “Record Company Business” and maintain the same sales level as FY2010, by increasing “Agency Business” that deals with live and merchandising etc. NEW BUSINESS The growth driver for mid-term growth would be new business lines to be described later on this material. Net Sales NEW ????? FY2010 level Agency Business + Bee TV Membership Business EXISISTING Record Company Business Time frame AVEX GROUP NEXT ERA 2014 11 1 Recognition of current situation 2 Restructure of existing business 3 Mid-term growth strategy 4 Reinforcement of management structure 5 Target guideline AVEX GROUP NEXT ERA 2014 12 Adjustment of Structure for Creating Hits Challenging points ● Despite the change in market environment and consumption style of users, our organization structure remain the same as when the package demand was big. ● Position that require creative aspect is considered a profession and even without making any hits, there was hardly any personnel relocation carried out. ● Number of artists and release items bloated, inversely to the shrink of the market. ● We will make the organization structure slim enough to fit the external environment change. We will actively work on personnel relocations according to his/her past performance and ferment the new creative climate. ● By studying the past performance / data, we will select the genre that we need to put an effort, as well as clarifying the winning pattern. Based on the study, we plan to promote selection and concentration of release items and so forth. Although, there is no decline in demand for music, we estimate further shrinkage of both physical & digital music market. In this declining phase, we would double the current market share and keep the downturn of the music sales level to minimum in mid-term, enjoying the benefits as a remaining player in the market. AVEX GROUP NEXT ERA 2014 13 Deepening High-value Added Strategy ● We will not commit on discount marketing, bur rather have premium consumption in sight. ● We will rather increase the products with added value and make the unit price higher by pursuing the 4 elements ( collector psychology , artist support psychology , sense of superiority , sense of qualification/limitation ) as well as artist brand value.

AVEX GROUP NEXT ERA 2014 15 Restructure of Asia Strategy ● We aimed to create hits in entire Asia, however with the fact of difference in culture, l language and income level between each area / country, the business we should implement would need to differ and match to each area / country. ● From now on, we will work from ground by implementing the strategy that best fit to each area / country, while keeping the entire unified strategy as a base.

Not quite following the trend with digital? Stagnation of the music distribution market. Not enough marketing by utilizing the digital? Each service is not working together ? Gap with digital users? Looking outside the music industry, we are in the situation where we are not leading the digital development. It requires drastic re-examination of digital strategy. AVEX GROUP NEXT ERA 2014 18 Digital Strategy: Basic Concept ● We take the information technology innovation a chance and we will shift our main business battlefield to digital. ● We will actively expand to neighboring business areas by having alliances with various players inside and outside the entertainment industry. This can be done by applying the know-how of 360 degree rights operation that we established in real world. ● We also view a “ digital agent business “ that accept on trust of the digital rights possessed by outside companies.
