GREE to Acquire Pokelabo, Inc. to Form Strategic Business Partnership

TOKYO, Japan - October 24, 2012 - GREE, Inc. (“GREE”) today announced its decision to acquire all of the shares of Pokelabo, Inc. (“Pokelabo”), a leading mobile social game developer and publisher in Japan, making Pokelabo a wholly owned subsidiary with the aim of pursuing a strategic business partnership.

Since its establishment in November 2007, Pokelabo has grown as a developer focused on mobile and social content. Having shifted its operations into social game development when Japan's main social networking platforms opened to third-party providers of mobile social games, Pokelabo has a strong record in game development and publishing, backed by a string of popular games, including hit titles with more than two million registered users such as YAKYUTOMO! Probaseball Story and Samurai Senki. From 2012, Pokelabo concentrated its resources on smartphone application development and has already developed five native applications for smartphones, which have enabled it to achieve rapid growth. The Clan Battle of Fate reached No.2 in the App Store ranking of top-grossing games following its launch in June 2012, while Sangoku Infinity, launched in May 2012, reached No.3 in the same chart. Of Pokelabo's five native apps, four titles ranked within the top 20 on the App Store list of top-grossing games, while two titles charted in the top 20 of top-grossing games on Google Play.

Through this stock acquisition and the strategic business partnership with Pokelabo, GREE will further strengthen its development capabilities in mobile social games for smartphones, cooperating with Pokelabo in a range of areas, from sharing expertise to collaborating between development teams.

GREE will continue to build ties with developers and expand its content offering in its pursuit of developing the world's leading mobile social games ecosystem.
