CSK Corporation
CSK Communications Corporation
CSK to Wholly Take Over CSK Communications

TOKYO, September 11, 2002 - At board meetings today, the directors of CSK Corporation ("CSK") and CSK Communications Corporation ("CCO") resolved that the latter become a wholly owned subsidiary of CSK through a share swap, concluding a memorandum of understanding on the decision.

The two companies plan to conclude a formal share swap contract in mid-November, with CCO seeking approval from shareholders at an extraordinary meeting in late December. The share swap is scheduled for February 1, 2003.

1. Outline of Full Takeover
The outline of the transformation of CCO into a wholly owned subsidiary (delisting) is as follows:
· Nasdaq Japan started with the goal of harnessing Nasdaq's outstanding concepts and market management expertise to build an open, fair, and global marketplace. CSK Communications concluded that Nasdaq Japan would allow the company to obtain the best valuation for its businesses, centered around information technology support. The company thus decided when it listed on Nasdaq Japan in September 2000 not to list on other exchanges.
· Now that the Nasdaq market is closing, CSK has decided that the best approach is to bolster its competitiveness and operational foundations by integrating CCO's specialized technical support operations with its IT services.

Note: In line with Article 358-1 of the Commercial Code, CSK will carry out the share swap contract without obtaining approval at a general shareholders meeting.

(2) Share swap ratio
CSK and CCO commissioned Chuo Aoyama Pricewaterhouse Coopers Financial and Risk Management to calculate the share swap ratio. The two companies discussed the results of that calculation and reached the agreement below.

In the event of significant changes to the conditions on which the share swap ratio was based, the two companies may agree to change the assumed share swap ratio.

CCO

Notes:
1. Chuo Aoyama Pricewaterhouse Coopers Financial and Risk Management, which advises CSK and CCO, used the following basis to calculate the share swap ratio. With CSK, it used the average share price method to compute enterprise value. For CCO, the measures were the average share price method and discounted cash flow.
2. As of October 18, 2002, CCO will make a one-for-three split of its shares of common stock. The share swap ratio above will be for shares after that split.
3. The number of new shares issued through the share swap has yet to be decided. CSK may offer treasury stock instead of issuing new shares for the swap.
