Press Release Template Japanese 1-7-1 Konan, Minato-ku News & Information Tokyo 108-0075 No. 16-028E March 25, 2016 Sony Corporation announces changes to organizational and management structure Tokyo, Japan – Sony Corporation (“Sony” or the Company”) has been engaged in the sequential splitting out of business units across the Sony Group, in order to reinforce the competitiveness of each business, and ensure clearly attributable accountability and responsibility. In addition to Game & Network Services, Mobile Communications, Pictures, Music and certain other Sony Group businesses that were already operating autonomously as subsidiaries, in July 2014 Sony split out its TV business, followed by its Video & Sound business in October 2015. The Company also plans to split out and establish its semiconductor business as a wholly owned subsidiary in April 2016. Sony is also exploring the split out of its Imaging Products and Solutions Sector. Concurrently, Sony has also been proceeding to realign the platform functions that support each of its business units in order to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of these operations. As previously announced, operations that until now have resided within Sony Corporation, including the Consumer AV Sales Platform, the Manufacturing, Logistics, Procurement, Quality and Environmental Platform for Sony’s electronics business, as well as certain cloud-based platforms and service-related businesses, will each be transferred to the related Sony Group companies. This transition is scheduled to be made sequentially from April 1 2016. Once the splitting out of these functions has been completed, Sony Corporation will focus on the following Group headquarters functions: 1) Headquarters: Responsibility for the Sony Group’s overall strategy and governance, and oversight of their execution 2) R&D: Leadership of Sony’s differentiation and creativity through technological innovation 3) New Business: Incubation of new businesses in areas beyond Sony’s current business domains 4) Brand Design: To enhance Sony’s brand value and implement horizontal Group-wide initiatives 5) Professional Services: To support the operations of the Sony Group following the completion of the splitting out process In conjunction with this structural realignment, certain changes will also be made to Sony’s executive assignments and system effective April 1, 2016, in order to further clarify lines of responsibility and assignments within each business and the headquarters organization. The Company will newly appoint four executives, currently in charge of four of the Sony Group’s business segments, as “Corporate Executive Officers” of Sony Corporation. They, together with the six existing Corporate Executive Officers, will assume ultimate responsibility for the Sony Group’s management within the scope assigned to them by the 1/6 Company’s Board of Directors. Sony will also re-classify its other executives. The executives responsible for executing their assigned business operations under the oversight of the relevant Corporate Executive Officers will be named “Business Executives” of Sony Corporation, while the executives responsible for the headquarters functions assigned to them under the oversight of relevant Corporate Executive Officers will be named “Corporate Executives” of Sony Corporation. ＜Corporate Executive Officers＞ (as of April 1, 2016): Representative Corporate Executive Officers Kazuo Hirai President and Chief Executive Officer Kenichiro Yoshida Executive Deputy President and Chief Financial Officer Corporate Executive Officers (EVPs listed in order of appointment) Tomoyuki Suzuki Executive Deputy President Officer in charge of R&D Platform In charge of Energy Business and Storage Media Business Shiro Kambe Executive Vice President Officer in charge of Legal, Compliance, Corporate Communications, CSR and External Relations Masashi Imamura Executive Vice President Officer in charge of Manufacturing, Logistics, Procurement, Quality & Environment In charge of Engineering Platform Shigeki Ishizuka Executive Vice President Officer in charge of Imaging Products and Solutions Business President of Digital Imaging Group President of Professional Solutions and Services Group Andrew House Executive Vice President (Newly appointed) Officer in charge of Game & Network Services Business President and Global CEO, Sony Interactive Entertainment LLC Michael Lynton Executive Vice President (Newly appointed) Officer in charge of Pictures and Music Businesses CEO, Sony Entertainment Inc.

  • Boycott Sony
    Boycott Sony Why are we asking you to take action against Sony? Sony is using legal actions to harass and intimidate individuals who are modifying their own PS3 systems. Defective by Design supporters are boycotting Sony. Here's the full story: • Sony sold the PlayStation 3 as a general purpose computer, capable of running the GNU/Linux operating system, but running in a restrictive mode that didn't allow complete access to the powerful hardware. • Sony stated, "It was fully intended that you, a PS3 owner, could play games, watch movies, view photos, listen to music, and run a full-featured operating system that transforms your PS3 into a home computer." In return, George Hotz (known in programming circles as geohot) announced his efforts to give PS3 owners complete access to their machine's powerful hardware. • Sony then proceeded to betray their customers by removing the ability to run custom operating systems at all, "due to security concerns." • In January 2011, Hotz released the cryptographic keys needed to reverse Sony's restrictions and run custom software on the PlayStation 3. • Sony promptly brought a lawsuit against Hotz. • Then, another PS3 hacker, Alexander Egorenkov (graf_chokolo) had his home raided by the police and sued him for €1 million. Sony followed-up by confiscating his equipment. The outcome of this? A pattern of harassment from Sony, attacking Hotz and other PS3 developers. Our response? Hundreds of emails in support of Hotz and others to the CEO of Sony, Howard Stringer — who chose to shut off his own email account, rather than listen to customers.
