Notice of Filing an Application for Voluntary Delisting of American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs") from the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") and Revising the Handling Procedures of ADRs

1.Reasons for the Application for Voluntary Delisting of ADRs from the NYSE and the Revision of Handling Procedures for NTT's ADRs

(1)Application for Voluntary Delisting of ADRs from the NYSE

In September 1994, NTT listed its ADRs on the NYSE in order to improve convenience for overseas investors and increase its capital raising options. Since then, NTT has been focused on proactive information disclosure by meeting its reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act"), preparing consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and establishing internal controls in accordance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

Subsequently, as the Japanese stock market became increasingly globalized, the stock market environment underwent significant changes, such as the revision of Japanese laws and regulations and to Japanese Accounting Standards, the practical elimination of regulatory differences between Japan and the United States with respect to disclosure and internal control requirements, and a drastic increase in stock trading by overseas investors in the Japanese market.

In light of these environmental changes, NTT has decided to file an application for voluntary delisting from the NYSE, as the necessity to remain listed on the NYSE has decreased, while costs associated with being an NYSE-listed company have increased.

(2)Revision of Handling Procedures for NTT's ADRs

In order to maintain its NYSE listing, NTT has been registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). In connection with the application for voluntary delisting from the NYSE, NTT also intends to file an application for deregistering its securities from the SEC after NTT meets the necessary deregistration criteria and intends to permanently deregister and terminate its reporting obligations under the Exchange Act. In preparation for its application to deregister from the SEC, NTT has decided to revise the handling procedures for its ADRs.

4.Future Plans

Even after delisting its ADRs from the NYSE, NTT intends to maintain its ADR program in the United States and anticipates that its ADRs will be traded on the U.S. over-the-counter market. NTT will suspend the issuance of new ADRs at the time of delisting from the NYSE, but in addition to the aforementioned over-the-counter market trading, it will remain possible to continue to hold NTT's ADRs or to cancel them through the depositary bank.

Furthermore, NTT's reporting obligations under the Exchange Act, including filing annual reports on Form 20-F, will cease in the event that NTT deregisters from the SEC. However, NTT's financial statements and other material information will continue to be disclosed in English on its website in accordance with applicable U.S. securities laws, and NTT will remain committed to providing appropriate information to its overseas shareholders and investors.
