NTT Com to Enhance Security Services in Northern Europe through Acquisition of Secode AB

TOKYO and SOLNA, Sweden, August 11, 2010 - NTT Communications Corporation (NTT Com) and Secode AB (Secode), a
leading provider of managed-security and security-consulting services in
Nordic countries, announced on Aug. 11 a definitive agreement under which NTT
Com will acquire all shares of Secode through NTT Communications Deutschland
GmbH, its wholly owned subsidiary in Germany. Terms of the deal were not
announced.

Following the acquisition, Secode will operate as a wholly owned
subsidiary led by Trygve Reinertsen, Secode's current CEO.

The aim is to capitalize on the growing needs for managed-security
services among multinational companies, who are increasingly outsourcing
security management to professionals due to the difficulties of nurturing
qualified engineers and ensuring 24/7 readiness against constantly evolving
security threats.

NTT Com will leverage Secode's high-quality managed-security and
security-consulting services to strengthen and expand its capabilities to
meet the security needs of customers in northern Europe. In addition, it will
fold Secode's security operation centers (SOCs) in Sweden and Norway into its
existing group of SOCs in Japan, Germany, Singapore and the U.S., the latter
three of which were added in October 2009 when NTT Com acquired a majority
stake in Integralis AG in Germany.

For Secode, the new arrangement will enable it to deliver services to a
wider and more diverse range of companies in NTT Com's large customer base
worldwide.

Secode provides managed-security services to financial institutions and
public offices in Denmark, Finland, the Netherlands, Norway and Sweden. The
company offers 24/7 services for intrusion detection and prevention, log
management, vulnerability analysis, data-loss prevention, anti-virus and
anti-spam, managed VPN/firewall and mobile security. In addition to its two
SOCs, it operates support desks in local languages in Finland and the
Netherlands. Secode also manages a specialized team for conducting tests and
audits, as well as its staff of consultants who offer a wide range of
professional security services. Established in 2000, Secode currently has
approximately 90 employees.

"The addition of Secode will enrich the NTT Com group's portfolio of
managed-security services and strengthen our Nordic business, together with
our global security unit Integralis AG," said Akira Arima, President and CEO
of NTT Com. "This will enhance our capabilities to meet market demands for a
variety of security services at the global level."

Trygve Reinertsen said, "We are very pleased to be joining the NTT Com
group, one of the largest global ICT solution providers. As an NTT Com group
company, we will expand our customer base to reach much larger companies on a
more global scale."
