Continuation and Partial Revision of the Countermeasures to Large-Scale

 Acquisitions of KONAMI CORPORATION Shares (Takeover Defense Measures)

KONAMI CORPORATION (the "Company") introduced a plan for countermeasures against large-scale acquisitions of the Company shares (takeover defense measures) (the "Current Plan"), based on the approval of its shareholders at the 38th Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders held on June 29, 2010. The Current Plan is scheduled to expire at the conclusion of the 41th Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders of the Company to be held on June 27, 2013. 

In order to ensure and enhance the corporate value of the Company and the common interests of shareholders, the Company has continued to review the Current Plan following its introduction, in light of recent developments in takeover defense measures. The Company hereby announces that, as a result of this review, its board of directors has resolved at a meeting held today (May 9, 2013) to revise certain elements of the Current Plan and renew it, subject to the approval of its shareholders at the 41th Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders (the revised takeover defense measures shall be referred to herein as the "Plan").

The Plan has been approved by the Independent Committee.
