From 4,500/month inclusive of voice calls and 20GB of data! No.2017-094

KDDI CORPORATION

Okinawa Cellular Telephone Company

July 10,2017

Beginning July 14, 2017, KDDI and Okinawa Cellular will provide au Flat Plan, a new rate plan that offers users great value for large-volume data communication.

Big News Campaign will start accepting applications the same day, enabling use of the latest au smartphones [2] for as little as 4,500/month [1], including voice calls and 20GB of data communication.

au Flat Plan This new rate plan offers customers a great monthly deal on large-volume data communication, allowing users to send and receive data without worrying about the volume.

There are six plans to choose from, depending on usage of voice calls and data communication: au Flat Plan 20 (Super Kakeho), au Flat Plan 20 (Kakeho), au Flat Plan 20 (Simple), au Flat Plan 30 (Super Kakeho), au Flat Plan 30 (Kakeho) and au Flat Plan 30 (Simple).

When campaign is applied

((1) + (2) + (3)) 4,500/month 6,500/month

(2) au Smart Value Permanent discount of 1,000/month

(3) Big News Campaign Discount of 1,000/month for 1 year from following month

au Flat Plan is not a monthly discount offered as a discount when a customer purchases a device, but a rate plan that offers the customer great value by setting the communication charges at a significantly low level. The need to pay up to half the cost of the device [4] is eliminated when this plan is used in combination with the new

Upgrade Program EX.

For more details of au Flat Plan 20/30 (Kakeho) and au Flat Plan 20/30 (Simple), see the Attachment.

Big News Campaign A discount of 1,000 on monthly charges is offered for 12 months to customers who subscribe to au Flat Plan when making a new contract or changing to a new model [5] during the period from July 14, 2017 to December 31, 2017. This means that customers can use au Flat Plan 20 (Super Kakeho) for 4,500 [1].

With au Flat Plan, monthly points earned so far based on au monthly charges are integrated with au STAR Royal. [6] Points earned with au STAR Royal, which rewards customers with WALLET points based on the number of years they have subscribed to au services, are awarded as shown below. [7]

-- Duration of au subscription Up to 4 years Up to 7 years Up to 10 years Up to 13 years Up to 16 years Over 16 years

Number of points earned per 1,000 of flat-rate charges in eligible rate plan [8] 10points 20points 30points 40points 60points 80points

au STAR is a free membership program open to all au subscribers [9] [10] whose various benefits include au STAR Royal.



[1]

When subscribed to au Flat Plan (Super Kakeho) and when Everybody Discount, au Smart Value and Big News Campaign are applied

[2]

This service is not available when making a new contract or changing models involving purchase of iPhone 7/iPhone 7 Plus/iPhone 6s/iPhone 6s Plus/iPhone SE/iPhone 6/iPhone 6 Plus/iPhone 5s/iPhone 5c/iPhone 5.

However, customers who already use one of the above iPhones may subscribe to this service by changing their rate plan.

[3]

This is the amount when Everybody Discount is applied. (Everybody Discount is automatically renewed in 2 year units. If the service is terminated at any time outside the renewal period, a contract cancellation fee of 9,500 is incurred.)

[4]

This is the total amount of the installment payments.

[5]

Not applicable when changing to a new model not accompanied by purchase of a device.

[6]

Monthly points are not earned with au Flat Plan.

[7]

Some of the points earned with au STAR Royal based on usage from July 2017 to December 2017 are awarded as monthly points. The remaining au STAR Royal points are awarded collectively in January 2018. After that, points are awarded on a monthly basis.

[8]

Points earned for every 1,000 (excluding tax) are awarded the following month, based on flat-rate charges (total amount for basic charges, flat-rate data services and internet connection) for each subscription to an eligible rate plan as of the end of the month. However, when subscribed to LTE NET for DATA, points are calculated based on subscription to LTE NET. When subscribed to au Smart Value or au Smart Value mine, points are calculated based on flat-rate charges after deduction of discounts.

[9]

Customers who use an au mobile phone or au smartphone

[10]

Applications can be made online and at au shops and the au Customer Service Center.
