CSK CORPORATION
CSK Wholly Takes Over Plaza Asset Management

Tokyo January 14, 2005 - At meetings held today, the boards of directors of CSK CORPORATION ("CSK") and PLAZA ASSET MANAGEMENT CO., LTD ("Plaza Asset") resolved that Plaza Asset become a wholly owned subsidiary of CSK through a share swap, and concluded a formal share swap contract.

Following its ratification at a Plaza Asset extraordinary shareholders' meeting scheduled for February 17, the share swap is expected to take place on March 22, 2005.

  1. Outline of Full Take Over

    CSK is proceeding with a group business restructuring with the objective of optimally allocating group business resources and has decided to make Plaza Asset a wholly owned subsidiary as part of that plan.

    The objectives of making Plaza Asset a fully owned subsidiary of CSK are to speed up the decision making process at Plaza Asset, as well as providing an enhanced service to clients by improving the quality of fund planning, marketing and fund management in the context of enhanced credit worthiness from being a CSK subsidiary.

  2. Terms and conditions of share swap

    (1)Planned share swap schedule
    Jan. 14, 2005 Boards approve share swap contract
    Jan. 14, 2005 Share swap contract concluded
    Feb. 17, 2005 (Scheduled) Extraordinary general shareholders' meeting of Plaza Asset ratifies share swap
    Mar. 21, 2005 (Scheduled) Due date for submission of Plaza Asset share certificates
    Mar. 22, 2005 (Scheduled) Shares swapped
    Notes:
    1. As per the provisions of Article 358, Clause 1 of the Commercial Code (regarding basic share exchanges,) the share swap does not require ratification at a CSK general shareholders' meeting.
    2. The abovementioned schedule may be changed if the share swap proceedings make it necessary or for other reasons following deliberation between the relevant parties.

    (2)Calculation basis of share-swap ratio
    CSK and Plaza Asset commissioned Chuo Aoyama PricewaterhouseCoopers Financial and Risk Management Co., Ltd. (Chuo Aoyama Financial) to calculate a share swap ratio to be used as reference material in deliberations between the parties. They discussed the results of those calculations and reached the agreement below. In the event of significant changes to the condition on which calculation of the share swap ratio was based, they may agree to change the share swap ratio.

      CSK
    (Parent Company)
    Plaza Asset
    (100% subsidiary)
    Share swap ratio 1 1.2

    1.2 common shares of CSK are therefore to be allotted against each single common share of Plaza Asset.

    Notes:
    1. Following confirmation of the assumptions with CSK and Plaza Asset, Chuo Aoyama Financial used the following basis to calculate the share swap ratio. For CSK, it used the average share price method, while for Plaza Asset the measure was the adjusted book value of net asset method, and based on these calculations a share swap ratio was calculated. Calculations by Chuo Aoyama Financial should not be considered as an expression of opinion as stipulated in the interpretation guidelines on independence issued by the Japanese Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
    2. 156,360 CSK common shares will be allocated to Plaza Asset shareholders. (However, there will be no allocation of shares in respect of the 181,000 common shares of Plaza Asset that CSK plans to acquire today from its wholly owned subsidiary CSK Finance Co., Ltd.) All swap allocations will be made using treasury stock held by CSK.

    (3)Common stock and additional paid-in capital
    Increases in the amounts of CSK's common stock and additional paid-in capital are as follows:

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

    (4)Proceeds from share swap
    There will not be any proceeds from this share swap.
