TOKYO, November 21, 2002 - CSK CORPORATION ("CSK") and CSK Communications Corporation ("CCO") at board meetings of the two companies today concluded a formal contract under which CCO will become a wholly owned subsidiary of CSK through a share exchange scheduled for February 1, 2003. This contract is based on a memorandum of understanding agreed
between the two companies on September 11 2002.
1. Outline of share swap contract
|

Method
|
|

The share exchange will be conducted in accordance with Articles 352 and 363 of the Japanese Commercial Code, and as a result CCO will become a wholly owned subsidiary of CSK.
|
|
Share exchange ratio
|
|
|
On undertaking the share exchange CSK will, from its own holdings of CSK ordinary shares, allocate 74 ordinary shares in CSK for one ordinary share in CCO in respect of shareholders listed in CCO's shareholder register or who are actually registered shareholders as at the close of business on the day prior to the share exchange day. However in respect of the 6,639 ordinary shares held by CSK in CCO (or, if CSK acquires further shares in CCO, in respect of the total number of shares held as at the close of business on the day prior to the share exchange day)
there will be no allotment of CSK ordinary shares.

The record day in respect of CSK shares received in the share exchange will be October 1 2002.
|
|
Common stock and Additional paid-in capital
|

|
|
Common stock
|
|
No increase
|
|
Additional paid-in capital
|
Additional paid-in capital will be increased by the net asset value of CCO on the day of share exchange, adjusted by the ratio of the number of CCO's shares for which CSK shares have been exchanged to the total number of issued CCO shares, minus the total book value of CSK shares transferred to CCO shareholders. However if the above calculation does not result in an increased value, there will be no increase in
additional paid-in capital.
