The Commission of the European Communities announced to impose a fine of EUR149 million on October 30, 2002 referring
that Nintendo’s past trade practices in Europe until 1998 fell upon “limitation of competition within the EU common market”
which is prohibited by Article 81 in the EU treaty.
The Company and its consolidated subsidiary found this fine to be unjustly high and appealed to the Court of First Instance of
the European Communities on January 16, 2003. The legal procedure is now under way.
