Tokyo May 13, 2004 - At meetings today, the board of directors of CSK CORPORATION ("CSK") and Japan Future Information Technology & Systems Co., Ltd. ("JFITS") resolved that JFITS become a wholly owned subsidiary of CSK through a share swap, and concluded a formal share swap contract.
Following its ratification at the JFITS ordinary general shareholders meeting scheduled for June 22, the share swap will take place on August 1.
- Outline of Full Take Over
CSK's Group vision is to continuously contribute to the productivity of customers with unparalleled IT expertise. CSK is restructuring group companies and aims to create value-added services and has positioned Business Process Outsourcing ("BPO"), which manages the operations of process services and contact centers, and IT Outsourcing ("ITO"), which brings together a range of services from systems integration to management, as strategic business areas.
The finance industry, which accounts for a large proportion of CSK's clients, is undergoing significant changes including restructuring regulation changes, and a diversification of the needs of the industry's customers. CSK believes that within these changes there is demand for advanced network systems needed for instant settlements and orders in securities companies, and for services capable of increasing operating efficiencies in brokerage operations.
By making JFITS a wholly owned subsidiary of CSK through a share swap, CSK aims to extract the maximum value of JFITS, whose strengths are in providing IT solutions to the securities and finance industries, and to achieve a group structure that can provide higher quality client services.
By organically linking JFITS's system integration expertise in securities and finance with the securities operations experience of Cosmo Securities Co., Ltd., another CSK group member, and the skills and assets held by CSK group BPO and ITO companies, we aim to improve the value-added element of services provided to clients, while also creating new value at the same time.

(2)Share swap ratio

CSK and JFITS commissioned Chuo Aoyama PricewaterhouseCoopers Financial and Risk Management Co., Ltd. to calculate the share swap ratio. They discussed the results of those calculations and reached the agreement below.

56 shares of CSK are therefore to be allotted against each single share of JFITS
| Note: |
- Chuo Aoyama PricewaterhouseCoopers Financial and Risk Management, which advises CSK and JFITS, used the following basis to calculate the share swap ratio. For CSK, it used the average share price method to compute enterprise value. For JFITS, the measures were the average share price method and discounted cash flow method.
- Share allocations to JFITS shareholders will be conducted with CSK common stock held by CSK. However, CSK will not allocate shares against the 20,475 shares in JFITS that it already owns.

(3)Initial record date for dividends
|
The start of the record date for distributing dividends on CSK shares in respect of the share exchange shall be April 1, 2004.

(4)Common stock and additional paid-in capital
|
Anticipated increases in the amounts of CSK common stock and additional paid-in capital following the share swap shall be as follows:
| · |
Common Stock: No increase |
| · |
Additional Paid- in Capital:
Additional paid-in capital will be increased by the net asset value of JFITS on the day of the share swap adjusted by the ratio of the number of shares in JFITS for which CSK shares have been exchanged to the total number of issued shares in JFITS, minus the total book value of CSK shares transferred to JFITS. However if the above calculation does not result in an increased value there will be no increase in additional paid-in capital.

(6)Succession of rights to new shares
