Nidec to Acquire ANA IMEP S.A., a Romanian Appliance Motor Manufacturer

Nidec Corporation (NYSE: NJ, the “Company” or “Nidec”) today announced that it agreed to acquire approximately 94.8% of the shares of ANA IMEP S.A. (“IMEP”) from its major shareholder (the “Transaction”). For this purpose, Nidec entered into a share purchase and transfer agreement with the major shareholder of IMEP on April 21, 2016 (local time in Romania).

Purpose and background of the Transaction

Nidec aims to achieve sales of 2 trillion yen, operating margin ratio above 15% and return on equity (ROE) above 18% in FY 2020 through organic growth and acquisitions under its mid-term growth strategy. The Company is actively moving forward with the development of new growth platforms with particular emphasis on automotive, appliance, commercial and industrial motors and solutions. Under such strategy, Nidec recognizes the importance of building up a cost efficient and high-profitability structure through the optimization of production globally.

Through the Transaction, the Company expects to enhance the competitiveness of its appliance motor business in the European market and obtain IMEP’s major customers.

In addition, the Company intends to build up a major manufacturing base in an emerging EU market for its Appliance, Commercial and Industrial Motors business (“ACIM”). With the expansion of ACIM globally, it is essential to expand its production capacity in Europe, especially in a cost-efficient country. The location of IMEP is suitable as a manufacturing base, because Romania is a cost-efficient country with qualified labor force. The Company intends not only to utilize IMEP’s sizable premises and facilities, including a manufacturing factory for the appliance business but also newly make investments and enhance its production capacity for the commercial and industrial business so that the Company can establish an optimal production structure globally.

Furthermore, in the future, the Company intends to build up IMEP not only as its production base but also as an engineering center and a shared-service center (call center, accounting, procurement, marketing, etc.) of ACIM.
