Notice of Organizational Revision
ADEKA CORPORATION (President and Chief Executive Officer, Representative Director:Hidetaka Shirozume) announced today that it will make the following organizationalchanges effective July 1, 2024.

1.

Details of the revision

The Chemicals Division and Research & Development Division are abolished and reorganized
into Electronic Materials Division and Environmental Materials Division.
Details of the organizational structure are described in the Appendix OrganizationalStructure Reorganization Chart.

2.

Purpose of the revision

Since the establishment of the Foods Division in 1996 and the Polymer Additives Division in2010, these divisions have operated under a business headquarters system, while theElectronics and IT materials and the Functional chemicals have operated as functionallyseparate organizations consisting of the Chemicals Division and Research & Development
Division.
In ADEKA Group's mid-term management plan “ADX 2026” for FY2024 to FY2026, one of
the basic strategies is to “Transition to a high profitability structure”, aiming at furtherexpansion of electronics and IT materials, the main earnings drivers, and expansion into
growth markets in each business. As the environment surrounding us changes drastically, werecognize the need for further collaboration between sales and R&D in order to understandand promptly respond to changing customer needs as technology evolves, especially in thesemiconductor, electronics, and mobility market.
We have therefore reorganized our sales departments and laboratories for Electronics andIT materials and the Functional chemicals under the newly established Electronic Materials
Division and Environmental Materials Division, respectively, and shifted to a businessheadquarters system to speed up decision-making. In addition, the Battery Materials
Department Laboratory will be incorporated into the Environmental Materials Division toaccelerate the early commercialization of the environmental and energy fields that have beenaddressed since the previous mid-term management plan “ADX 2023” for FY2021 to FY2023.
〈Continued on the next page〉

By reorganizing the Research & Development Planning Department from an Research &Development Division to an organization directly under the CEO, the R&D Division will oversee
corporate research in areas such as carbon neutrality and life sciences, and promote thecreation and commercialization of new research themes. The Research & DevelopmentPlanning Department manages and oversees the research themes of the laboratories underthe Business Division and promotes inter-company technology integration and innovation
creation. In the life science field, we will promote efforts to commercialize medical materials
and activate joint research (e.g., new animal drug discovery) with our consolidated subsidiary
NIHON NOHYAKU CO., LTD., aiming to create synergies as soon as possible.
ADEKA Group aims to enhance social value and achieve sustainable growth by transforming
its organization and business operations to be suitable for achieving consolidated operating
profit of 53 billion yen and net sales of 500 billion yen, the management targets for FY2026
in the mid-term management plan “ADX 2026”.
