Nippon Paint, International to

Separate Marine Operations

Nippon Paint Co., Ltd (NP) and

International Coatings Ltd (IC), part of

Akzo Nobel, have mutually agreed to terminate their association in marine coatings from the end of October 2004.

During this association the parties have licensed their marine coating tech- nologies to each other and have co-oper- ated in the provision of support and services to customers. This has meant

NP's customers have been supported by

IC outside Japan while IC's customers have been supported by NP in Japan with marine coatings and services for newbuilding and maintenance contracts.

The parties will continue to service cus- tomers under their existing arrange- ments until the end of October 2004.

Transferred technology will remain available to both NP and IC after the ending of the association. The parties are agreed that given geographic changes in the marine industry over the last decade and their desire to expand their individual marine coatings opera- tions they will each operate independ- ently as from November 2004. Thus NP plans to use its own overseas infrastruc- ture to serve Japanese and overseas cus- tomers and owners building and main- taining vessels throughout the world, while IC plans to extend its global net- work by developing its infrastructure in

Japan to serve Japanese and overseas customers and owners building and maintaining vessels in Japan.
