NTT DOCOMO, INC. announced today that on October 31, 2017, it received from Tata Sons Limited (“Tata Sons”) payment of the award amount in accordance with the High Court of Delhi’s decision regarding DOCOMO’s stake in Tata Teleservices Limited (“TTSL”). DOCOMO previously announced the court’s decision in a Form 6-K filing entitled “Court Decision Regarding Stake in Tata Teleservices” filed on May 1, 2017.

1. Amount Received by DOCOMO

¥144.9 billion ^*1

2. Transfer of TTSL Shares

Concurrent with the receipt of the above amount, all shares in TTSL held by DOCOMO have been transferred to Tata Sons and companies designated by Tata Sons.

3. Financial Impact and Partial Adjustment to Forecasts of Consolidated Financial Results

DOCOMO expects to include the award amount of ¥144.9 billion in other income on its consolidated financial statements for the three-month period ending December 31, 2017.
