1. Background of investment
SAP, one of Nippon Shokubai's core products, shows steady growth of demand as a key material for diapers globally, particularly in the regions where their populations are anticipated to increase rapidly.

As a result of the study, Nippon Shokubai decided to expand the capacity of NSI as it had already expanded its production facility of acrylic acid (hereinafter "AA") by 100,000 t/y (total AA capacity after the expansion: 240,000 t/y) and can take advantage of its strength from the vertically integrated production from AA to SAP to meet the strong demand growth in the Asian region in anticipation of synergistic effects with the existing plant. On the other hand, for the old SAP production facilities with relatively low productivity in Himeji, Japan, Nippon Shokubai will consider stopping some of these facilities to optimize Nippon Shokubai's global SAP supply network in future.

2. Feature of investment
Production capacity: SAP 50,000 t/y
(current capacity 90,000 t/y, total 140,000 t/y after completion)
Schedule: Mechanical completion -- January 2027
Commercial operation -- July 2027
Location: Existing plant site of NSI
Investment amount: Approx. 110 million USD

3. Corporate outline of NSI
Established: August 1996
Location: Cilegon, Banten Province, Republic of Indonesia (head office and plant)
Representative: Shinichiro Yoshimoto (Mr.) President Director
Description of business: Manufacture and sale of acrylic acid, acrylates, and superabsorbent polymers
