    (Translation) to Our Shareholders: Firstly, We Should Like to Extend

    (Translation) To Our Shareholders: Firstly, we should like to extend our heartfelt gratitude for your continued support of our business operations. We also offer our heartfelt condolences to all the victims of the Kumamoto Earthquake, which struck in April 2016, along with our sincere wishes for the earliest recovery. West Japan Railway Group very seriously takes its responsibility for the train accident on the Fukuchiyama Line we caused on April 25, 2005 and the gravity of its consequences, and all officers and employees are making a group-wide effort to establish a safe, secure and trusted rail service. To continue to take the accident seriously and build a safer railway system, I, as well as all other officers and employees, am determined to make greater efforts in conducting day-to-day operations. In March 2013, we formulated a "JR-West Group Medium-Term Management Plan 2017" and its central core "Safety Think-and-Act Plan 2017", which have continued to place "Three Pillars of Management", comprising "measures to have ourselves accepted as acting with the best intentions by the victims of the train accident", "measures to enhance safety" and "furthering of reform", as our high-priority issues for management and have since exerted our efforts to implement, as the Priority Strategies, the "Three Basic Strategies" and the "Four Business Strategies". In April 2015, as a review of the last two years, and based on the changes in the business environment, we updated the "JR-West Group Medium-Term Management Plan 2017" and made revisions and additions to the measures to be implemented to achieve our objectives.
