TDK Corporation (President Takehiro Kamigama) announced today that it has decided to provide earthquake relief donation of 100 million yen to the people and regions affected by the off the Pacific coast of Tohoku Earthquake for the reconstruction of the affected society.

The off the Pacific coast of Tohoku Earthquake caused severe damages especially in the northern regions of Japan. TDK Corporation conducts business activities in the north of Japan including the Tohoku District.

We made the decision of the financial aid to extend a helping hand to support the restoration activities. Separately from the company initiative, our employees are now running their own fundraising campaign within all the companies of the TDK group.

We plan to offer the combined amount of the relief donation from the TDK group and the money raised from the employee initiative fund to the affected people and regions as reconstruction assistance. We would like to express our heartfelt sympathy to the affected people and at the same time sincerely pray for earliest possible reconstruction of the affected regions.
