Regarding Today’s Lawsuit

It has been reported that GREE, Inc. and KDDI Corporation have filed a lawsuit against DeNA Co., Ltd. regarding claims that DeNA violated Japan’s antitrust law. No contact had been made by the two companies to DeNA regarding the reported matter until today.

Since DeNA has not received the official statement of complaint, it is unable to confirm its content at this moment. The two companies issued a press release that reads as if DeNA has been violating the antitrust law, but there is no such fact.
