Notice Regarding Issuance of New Shares and Secondary Distribution of Shares
Nippon Sheet Glass Co., Ltd. (the "Company") hereby announces that its
board of directors, at a meeting held on August 24, 2010, resolved certain
matters relating to the issuance of new shares of the Company's common stock and
the secondary distribution of the Company's shares, as set forth below.
<Purpose of the offering>
We have worked to achieve our strategic goals by developing our business on a
global level and becoming a world leader in glass, with strong technology and an
extensive range of products. Since acquiring the Pilkington operations in 2006,
we have continued integrating our operations on a global level. Our 10-year,
3-phase strategy, announced in November 2006, remains the pillar of our
long-term vision, and its basic objectives remain in place. Our current
operational focus is on achieving our objectives for the first four years (Phase
1) by further strengthening our financial position, leveraging our strengths and
competitive advantages as a global company that has integrated the Pilkington
operations, and preparing the groundwork for future growth.
The downturn of the global economy adversely affected each of our businesses, as
well as our results of operation and financial condition. In response, we took
restructuring measures from January 2009 through implementing initiatives such
as adjustments in capacity and reductions in headcount and cost. These measures
were completed in March 2010, and as a result we have reinforced our competitive
position, and the benefits are already beginning to show in our results.
In light of the above, through this global offering of our common stock, we aim
to secure funds for capital expenditures and joint venture investments that are
necessary for our key strategic objectives involving our core markets and
business areas. In particular, we plan to further develop our business by
expanding our presence in emerging markets with strong growth prospects, such as
those in South America, Mexico, Eastern Europe, South East Asia and China, and
by taking advantage of these countries' relatively lower manufacturing costs. We
also intend to increase our sales of environmental glass products that are
responsive to climate change issues and are related to energy conservation and
generating energy from the sun. These are exemplified by our value-added
products, such as low emissivity ("Low-E") glass, which has the effect of
reducing energy consumption in building, solar control glass, which reduces the
burden on air conditioning systems in buildings and cars, and solar energy glass
and battery separators, which will play an important role in next generation
electric and hybrid vehicles.
In addition, we plan to apply the proceeds of the offering towards partial
redemption of our Type A Preferred Shares and partial repayment of our long-term
borrowings. Through these measures, we aim to further reinforce our financial
condition, and strengthen our competitive advantages and profitability.

Reference
1. Distribution by way of Over-Allotment and other Matters
The Distribution by way of Over-Allotment mentioned in 2. Secondary
Distribution of Shares (Distribution by way of Over-Allotment) above is a
secondary distribution in Japan to be made in conjunction with the Japanese
Public Offering mentioned in 1. Issuance of New Shares by way of Public Offering
above to the amount not to exceed 12,000,000 shares of common stock of the
Company, which will be borrowed by one of the Japanese Underwriters from certain
shareholder(s) of the Company (the "Borrowed Shares"), taking into account
market demand for the offerings and other conditions. The number of shares in
the Distribution by way of Over-Allotment indicates the maximum number of shares
to be sold, and depending on market demand and other conditions, such number may
decrease, or the Distribution by way of Over-Allotment itself may be cancelled.
In connection with the Distribution by way of Over-Allotment, the
board of directors of the Company resolved at the meeting held on August 24,
2010 (Tue.) that the Company will issue 12,000,000 shares of its common stock by
way of third-party allotment to the Japanese Underwriter mentioned above (the
"Capital Increase by way of Third-Party Allotment") with the payment date set as
September 28, 2010 (Tue.).
Also, the Japanese Underwriter mentioned above may conduct stabilizing
transactions for the shares of common stock of the Company during the
subscription period for the Japanese Public Offering and the Distribution by way
of Over-Allotment (the "Subscription Period"). The shares of common stock of
the Company purchased through such stabilizing transactions may be used, in
whole or in part, to return the Borrowed Shares.
Furthermore, the Japanese Underwriter mentioned above may also
purchase shares of common stock of the Company on the Tokyo Stock Exchange up to
the number of shares to be sold in the Distribution by way of Over-Allotment
("Syndicate Cover Transactions"), during the period beginning on the day
immediately following the last day of the Subscription Period and ending on
September 22, 2010 (Wed.) (the "Syndicate Cover Transaction Period"). All
shares of common stock of the Company purchased through Syndicate Cover
Transactions shall be used to return the Borrowed Shares. However, during the
Syndicate Cover Transaction Period, the Japanese Underwriter mentioned above at
its discretion may not conduct any Syndicate Cover Transactions or may terminate
any Syndicate Cover Transactions before the number of shares purchased reaches
the number of shares sold in the Distribution by way of Over-Allotment.
The Japanese Underwriter mentioned above plans to accept the allotment
under the Capital Increase by way of Third-Party Allotment for an equivalent
number of shares of common stock of the Company obtained by deducting (a) the
number of shares purchased through stabilizing transactions and Syndicate Cover
Transactions that are to be used to return the Borrowed Shares, from (b) the
number of shares to be sold in the Distribution by way of Over-Allotment.
Accordingly, all or part of the shares to be issued under the Capital
Increase by way of Third-Party Allotment may not be subscribed for and it may
result in a decrease of the number of shares to be issued under the Capital
Increase by way of Third-Party Allotment or a cancellation of the entire
issuance due to forfeiture.
Whether or not the Distribution by way of Over-Allotment is to be
conducted, as well as the number of shares to be sold in the event the
Distribution by way of Over-Allotment is to be conducted, will be determined on
the Pricing Date. If the Distribution by way of Over-Allotment is cancelled
entirely, the Japanese Underwriter mentioned above will not borrow shares of
common stock of the Company from the shareholder(s) of the Company mentioned
above. Therefore, as the Japanese Underwriter mentioned above will not accept
any allotment under the Capital Increase by way of Third-Party Allotment nor
subscribe for any shares to be issued thereunder, no new shares of the Company
will be issued under the Capital Increase by way of Third-Party Allotment due to
forfeiture. Furthermore, no Syndicate Cover Transactions will be conducted on
the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
The Japanese Underwriter mentioned above shall conduct stabilizing
transactions and Syndicate Cover Transactions in consultation with the other
joint lead managers in Japanese Public Offering.

Notes:
1) The expected capacities post-investment of each of the abovementioned
capital expenditure plans are abbreviated due to the variety of products
produced and the difficulty of listing.
2) The amounts specified above do not include consumption tax.
3) Amount to be invested is calculated using foreign exchange rates determined
for our planning purposes and may change due to the fluctuation of the actual
foreign exchange rates.
With respect to the joint venture investment to be made in Tianjin, China, based
on our agreement with Shanghai Yaohua Pilkington Glass Co. Ltd., we intend to
invest JPY1,000,000,000 by the end of the financial year ending March 31, 2011
to acquire our share of the joint venture and JPY3,500,000,000 by the end of the
financial year ending March 31, 2012 to be used to install our online coating
technology onto an existing float line as well as build a new float line with
the same online coating technology. As a result of this investment, our
ownership in the joint venture will be approximately 45% and the joint venture
will be accounted for as our affiliate using the equity method of accounting.
Subject to approvals of the relevant Chinese governmental authorities required
for the operation of this joint venture, or any other events including change of
external environment, there is a possibility that our investment plan in this
joint venture may not be implemented as planned, or may change altogether, in
which case, we intend to use such portion of the approximately JPY4,500,000,000
that has not been used for the joint venture, to pay down our outstanding
long-term debt.
(2) Change in the use of proceeds raised last time
Not applicable
(3) Impact on business results
We expect that this offering will enable us to seize investment opportunities
and leverage our competitive position, while reinforcing our financial
condition. These will contribute to strengthen our profitability over the
medium-to-long term.
