| Content | Renesas Electronics quickly and effectively began its recovery actions following the deadly 9.0 magnitude earthquake that devastated much of northeastern Japan on March 11, 2011. Directly after the earthquake, company officials assembled a damage-assessment team followed immediately by the start of restoration to the facilities. By April 12, just one month after the earthquake, Renesas resumed production at all of its manufacturing sites except the worst- damaged Naka factory. On April 22, a plan was established to restart the Naka factory to reach pre-earthquake capacity as soon as possible – all of these actions were done while keeping customers and the public updated as much as possible. Despite the destruction, Renesas was able to restore production to all of its affected fabs nearly three months ahead of schedule. This success is attributed to a number of factors including effective planning; teamwork; third-party assistance (including from customers); commitment, dedication and sacrifice of management and staff; and open, continuous communication. Throughout the recovery effort, Renesas’ management team has met regularly with many customers to discuss their needs and address their concerns. The company is on track to reach pre- earthquake supply capacity, plus additional capacity available through its fab network, by the end of September, one month ahead of the original target date. FRIDAY, MARCH 11 Deadly earthquake and massive tsunami hit northeast Japan, with the quake significantly damaging infrastructures. Renesas loses approximately 50% of its wafer-start capacity and faces unstable outlook for electric power supply. Company immediately establishes emergency task force headed by President Yasushi Akao. Renesas ensures the immediate safety of employees and asks staff to check on their families. Safety is confirmed within five hours. Rolling power outages and safety concerns prevent Renesas from immediately re-entering buildings to assess damage. MONDAY, MARCH 14 Renesas contacts all customers and talks to press, providing as much information as possible on infrastructure damage and how it will affect production. Eight factories (5 wafer fabs and 3 test and assembly sites) are temporarily shut down. Renesas commits to consistent dialogue with customers as the recovery efforts begin. TUESDAY, MARCH 15 Renesas provides more detailed information about the damage, beginning a series of continuous updates on the progress and restoration.WEDNESDAY, MARCH 16 The first of the affected factories, Renesas Eastern Japan Semiconductor, Tokyo Device Division (back-end line), restarts part of its production.FRIDAY, MARCH 18 The remaining two test and assembly sites, Renesas High Components and Renesas Northern Japan Semiconductor, Yonezawa factory, resume production, making all test and assembly sites fully functional.SATURDAY, MARCH 19 Renesas Northern Japan Semiconductor, Tsugaru factory (front-end line), resumes production. TUESDAY, MARCH 22 Renesas Yamagata Semiconductor, Tsuruoka factory (front-end line), resumes production. MONDAY, MARCH 28 Damage assessment completed at Naka, the most affected of all Renesas factories. Renesas announces July as the target date to restart partial production at the Naka factory. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 6 Two more factories, Renesas Electronics, Takasaki (front-end line), and Renesas Electronics, Kofu (front-end line), restart all production, increasing wafer start capacity to 70% of pre-earthquake levels. All but one factory (Naka) is operating. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 1 Naka factory resumes mass production on the 200mm line, one month ahead of schedule. FRIDAY, JUNE 10 Announcement is made that shipment capacity is expected to reach pre-earthquake levels by the end of September, one month ahead of schedule, and will have full pre-earthquake capacity, plus additional capacity, through its evolving fab network. Earthquake Recovery Timeline Test production begins on the 200mm line at the Naka factory. SATURDAY, APRIL 23 Naka factory resumes mass production on the 300mm line, one month ahead of schedule.
