  • Notice of the 32Nd Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders
    (Translation) NOTICE OF THE 32ND ORDINARY GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS To Our Shareholders: We should like to extend our heartfelt gratitude for your continued understanding of business operations of West Japan Railway Group (the "Group"). The 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 has continued to implement various measures in terms of both physical and intangible aspects to improve safety. In consideration of this, I, as well as all officers and employees of the Group, have determined to continue to faithfully perform our roles in our respective positions with a sense of responsibility to build a safer railway system. Last year, the Group launched a "JR-West Group Medium-Term Management Plan 2022" and its core component, a "JR-West Group Railway Safety Think-and-Act Plan 2022." Based on our resolve never to cause another accident like that on the Fukuchiyama Line, we will implement plans toward the realization of our corporate philosophy and management vision and contribute to the creation of "a safe and comfortable society filled with meetings among people and smiles" which is our vision. With regard to shareholder returns, we will pay stable dividends, aiming for a dividend payout ratio of approximately 35% in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2023. In addition, over the aggregate period up to March 31, 2023, the Company's yardstick will be a total return ratio of approximately 40%, and we will make flexible acquisitions of treasury stock. During the fiscal year under review, we acquired and cancelled 1,253,600 shares of common stock of the Company.

    BASELINE REVIEW OF THE HUDSON-BERGEN LIGHT RAIL TRANSIT SYSTEM The following is a baseline review of the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail Transit System (System) in northern New Jersey. The purpose of our baseline reviews is to track the progress of planned fixed guideway systems of national significance, which will enable us to perform timely audits of those projects experiencing cost, schedule, or financing problems. The specific objectives of this review were to determine the current status, estimated cost, funding sources, and completion schedule of the project, and to identify major issues that may affect the project. We selected this system for review because it is the first transit project in the United States in which the contractor will design and build the System and will also operate and maintain it for an established period before turning operations over to the local transit authority. Summary The System is estimated to cost $2 billion and will be constructed in three phases (see Figure 1). New Jersey Transit Corporation (NJT) reported that, as of June 30, 1999, it had paid over $613 million for the first phase of the System. NJT estimated that this phase will cost $950 million, $42.1 million less than the $992.1 million originally estimated in the October 1996 full funding grant agreement. The potential savings resulted primarily from lower financing costs. In addition, the System’s alignment has been changed from the east side of Hoboken to the west side. According to the NJT Project Director, rerouting the alignment will result in savings by reducing the need for track to be embedded into streets and by reducing property acquisition costs.

Address all communication to Secretary to the Commission United States International Trade Commission Washington, DC 20436 www.usitc.gov Preface The United States International Trade Commission (USITC) has initiated its current Industry and Trade Summary series of reports to provide information on the rapidly evolving trade and competitive situation of the thousands of products imported into and exported from the United States. Over the past 20 years, U.S. international trade in goods and services has risen by almost 350 percent, compared to an increase of 180 percent in the U.S. gross domestic product (GDP), before falling sharply in late 2008 and 2009 due to the economic downturn. During the same two decades, international supply chains have become more global and competition has increased. Each Industry and Trade Summary addresses a different commodity or industry and contains information on trends in consumption, production, and trade, as well as an analysis of factors affecting industry trends and competitiveness in domestic and foreign markets. This report on the railway rolling stock industry primarily covers the period from 2004 to 2009, and includes data for 2010 where available.

  • UAE: Keolis Wins 15-Year Contract to Operate Dubai's World Class
    PRESS RELEASE Paris, 22 March 2021 UAE: Keolis wins 15-year contract to operate Dubai’s world class driverless metro and tram networks • Following Dubai’s Roads & Transport Authority (RTA) announcement on 20 March 2021, Keolis is honoured that the company and its international partners were the successful bidders for a 9-year contract, with a possible 6-year extension1 and worth approximately 125 million euros per year, to operate and maintain the city’s world class metro and tram networks. • The new contract provides a perfect opportunity to blend the RTA’s reputation for innovation and efficiency with Keolis’ international experience and expertise. Keolis will be the lead partner in a joint venture (JV)2, which will also deliver the talents of both Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Engineering (MHI) and Mitsubishi Corporation (MC). Both partners have already worked successfully with the RTA over several years. Under this contract, Keolis and its partners will manage Dubai’s world-leading metro and tram network from September 2021. • Keolis has been a dominant force in automated metros for 40-years. The company has a track record of running one of the world’s most iconic systems in London (Docklands Light Railway) and is also the long-standing operator of choice for the world’s first automated metro in Lille. The extent of Keolis’ metro experience is reflected in the many other automated metro networks the business successfully manages across the world, which includes Lyon and Rennes in France, Doha (Qatar), Shanghai (China) and Hyderabad (India). • The value of Keolis’ experience of operating tram networks across the world will be an equally important feature of the new contract.
