The Company is continuing to pursue the top priority material issue of expanding its oral healthcare business both domestically and overseas. In Beauty Care, positioned as a Challenge for Growth business, we acquired all shares of PNB Consolidated Pty Ltd, a company that manufactures and sells natural beauty care products in Australia, and made it a wholly owned subsidiary as part of our efforts to create new business opportunities. In addition, we have steadily advanced the review of our business portfolio, including making the decision to transfer the shares of two subsidiaries in the Chemical Products business.
