Mr. Kuwamura's letter can be read below:

Good afternoon,

As you may have heard, after more than 38 years with Canon, I will retire in mid-July and will be returning to Japan.

I would like to express my appreciation of your support and partnership over the years, particularly since the formation of Canon Solutions America in 2013. I made a commitment to making Canon Solutions America the best nationwide value services provider and the best choice for our customers, and you have been part of that journey. Exchanging ideas with you and listening to your viewpoints on the industry has helped me keep a fresh perspective. Thank you for participating in our many events, and for helping us promote the One Canon concept to the public.
Mr. Joe Adachi, Chairman and CEO of Canon U.S.A., will assume the additional role of Chairman and CEO of Canon Solutions America. Mr. Shinichi Yoshida, who is succeeding me as Executive Vice President/GM, Business Imaging Solutions Group, will also serve as Vice Chairman of Canon Solutions America. Mr. Peter Kowalczuk will continue in his role as President of Canon Solutions America.

Again, I extend my gratitude to you for your support of Canon, and please continue to provide the same valued guidance and industry knowledge to my successors.
Thank you very much.

Toyo Kuwamura
