company is one of the world's largest mobile communications operators.
DOCOMO also is an influential force in the continuing advancement of mobile
technologies and standards. In 1999, Docomo launched i-mode the world's
most popular platform for mobile Internet services including e-mail,
browsing, downloading and more.
In 2001, DOCOMO introduced FOMA, the world's first 3G commercial mobile
service based on W-CDMA, which has transformed the mobile landscape in
Japan while bringing the DOCOMO brand global recognition.
The role of mobile phones as "lifestyle tools" was cemented when DOCOMO
launched Osaifu-Keitai, a mobile wallet platform enabling quick, contactless transactions for cash, credit, ID, and more. More than 36 million phones
equipped for Osaifu-Keitai services are now in use.
Building on a solid foundation of research and development, and guided by
its customer-first philosophy, the company leverages the power of mobile
communications to enable customers to enrich their lives.
DOCOMO is expanding its global reach through offices and subsidiaries in
Asia, Europe and North America, as well as strategic alliances with mobile
and multimedia service providers in markets worldwide.

Detailed case study

Tata Sons Limited, the promoter of Tata Teleservices Limited, announced
today that its transaction with NTT DOCOMO, under which the Japanese
telecom company was to acquire 26 per cent of the common shares of Tata
Teleservices Limitedin accordance with the capital-alliance agreement
announced by the parties in November 2008has been completed.
Tata Sons further stated that DOCOMO has also completed its payment
obligations under the Tender Offer and is preparing to acquire approximately
12 per cent of the common shares of Tata Teleservices (Maharashtra)
Limited (TTML) through an open offer*, with the Tender Offer having closed
on 12 March 2009.
With this development, DOCOMO has become a 26-per cent shareholder in
Tata Teleservices Limited and three DOCOMO Directors will be named to join
the TTSL Board. The partners will now work to increase the enterprise value
of both TTSL and TTML, while creating synergies through their joint activities
including Business & Technology Cooperation Committee.
Tokyo-based DOCOMO, the worlds leading mobile operator, has played a
major role in the evolution of mobile telecommunications through its
development of cutting-edge mobile technologies and services. The company
is a strong market leader used by more than 50 per cent of Japans mobile
phone users. DOCOMO, the worlds leading mobile operator, will work closely
with TTSLs management and provide know-how to help the company
develop its mobile business. TTSL expects to leverage DOCOMOs expertise
in the development and delivery of value-added services, where DOCOMO is
a firmly established market leader. The Japanese telecom giant which, with
53 million customers and 51.5% of the Japanese market, is one of the
world's largest players in the telecommunications industry, bought a 26%
stake in Tata Teleservices Ltd (TTSL) for $2.7 billion. NTT DoCoMo followed

up this deal with an open offer for 20% in Tata Teleservices (Maharashtra)
Ltd -- TTML -- the listed subsidiary of TTSL. At Rs24.70 (50 cents) a share,
this means another $191 million. The offer will open in January.
The Road ahead
Great deal it may be, but it has its risks. One reason is that telecom deals
have been controversial in recent times. This goes back to late last year
when the government sold pan-India licenses for $333 million apiece, amid a
welter of controversy. New players, with no experience in the business, got
these licenses on a first-come-first-served basis. In India also, many of our
companies already are or will soon face major problems in their access to
credit due to the lack of liquidity in the domestic market and also their
inability to effectively raise equity due to the depression in the stock market
and the erosion of investor confidence.
Open offer
Besides, DoCoMo, in accordance with regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Board of India, expects to make an open offer to acquire up to 20
per cent of outstanding equity shares of Tata Teleservices Maharashtra
(TTML), a Tata telecommunication company, through a joint tender offer
along with Tata Sons. TTSL and TTML through the Tata Indicom brand, have
increased their combined share of the fast-growing Indian mobile market
and their combined subscriber base now stands at over 30 million.
Market leader
NTT DoCoMo is a market leader in Japan and is used by over 50 per cent of
Japans mobile phone users.

It serves over 53 million customers, including 46 million people subscribing

to FOMATM (in Japan), launched as the worlds first 3G mobile service based
on W-CDMA in 2001.
It offers a variety of leading-edge mobile multimedia services, including imode, the worlds most popular mobile e-mail/Internet service, used by 48
million people.
With the addition of credit-card and other e-wallet functions, DoCoMo mobile
phones have become versatile tools for daily life. It is listed on the Tokyo,
London and New York stock exchanges. TTSL expects to leverage DoCoMos
expertise in the development and delivery of value-added services, where
DoCoMo is a firmly established market leader.

INTERPRETATION
The calculation of five days moving average for the previous as well as later
month from the date of merger is shown. It takes into account the open,
high, low, close, daily turnover as well as calculation of abnormal return.
This takes into account the daily volatilities of the share prices.

 Here, the daily average prices have risen due to positive feedback of
the merger but the turnover has decreased at the same time. This
shows that there are certain shareholders who expect the share prices
to rise much more as compared to actual rise that has taken place and
so they have reduced trading activities and turned themselves into
investors. Such investors value the deal much more and so they
expect the share prices to rise sharply within a period of year or so.

INTERPRETATION
The return of the target company Tata Communication has been very poor
since the past 15 to 20 days before the acquisition but it almost got to
break-even soon after the acquisition date. This sustained for the next 8 to
10 days but again got back into negative returns zone due to poor customer
support to

the

newly entered Docomo brand in highly competitive

communications market in India.
