Notice Relating to Effectiveness of Delisting from the New York Stock Exchange
Kyocera Corporation (the “Company”) adopted a resolution at a meeting of its Board of Directors held on February 26, 2018 regarding the Company making an application for voluntary delisting of the Company’s American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) from the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) and filing for the termination of registration of the Company’s ADSs under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and made an announcement of this resolution.
Based on this resolution, the Company notified the NYSE of its intention to delist its ADRs on June 5, 2018 (Eastern Time in the U.S.) and announced its delisting schedule. The Company also filed Form 25 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for delisting from the NYSE and deregistration with the SEC on June 15, 2018.
This is to advise you that the Company’s delisting from the NYSE became effective on June 26, 2018 and the Company filed Form 15F with the SEC on June 26, 2018 to terminate its reporting obligations under the Exchange Act.
1. Effective Date of Delisting
June 26, 2018 (Eastern Time in the U.S.)
2. Stock Exchanges on which the Company Will Maintain its Listings
The Company will maintain its listings on the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
3. Deregistration from the SEC
The Deregistration will be effective on September 13, 2018, 90 days after the filing of Form 25 with the SEC. The Company’s reporting obligations under the Exchange Act were suspended by the filing of Form 15F with the SEC and will be terminated on September 24, 2018, 90 days after its filing.
These schedule may be delayed if the SEC objects or requests an extended review or for other reasons.
Although the Company’s reporting obligations under the Exchange Act were suspended as of June 26, 2018, the Company will voluntarily continue to make the SEC reporting until September 24, 2018, the day of the termination of the Company’s reporting obligations.

4. Future Actions
Although the Company’s reporting obligations under the Exchange Act (including the obligation to file annual reports on Form 20-F) will be terminated as of September 24, 2018, the Company will continue to disclose financial statements and other information, in English, on its website to ensure that its shareholders and investors will continue to have appropriate information about the Company.
In addition, after the delisting of its ADSs from the NYSE, the Company maintains its American Depositary Receipt Program in the U.S. and therefore anticipates that its ADSs will continue to be traded in the U.S. on the over-the-counter market.
