`
`NOTICE TO CLARIFY THE RECORD
`
`During oral argument on February 21, 2023, counsel for Trend Micro Incorporated (“Trend
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Micro Japan”) explained the corporate structure between the various Trend Micro entities. To the
`
`extent the record suggests that Trend Micro Japan holds or owns the assets of the mentioned
`
`subsidiaries, that is not accurate. Counsel was merely attempting to distinguish between Trend
`
`Micro Japan’s operations in Japan, as opposed to its ownership of shares in Trend Micro America,
`
`Inc. As detailed in Trend Micro, Inc.’s (“Trend Micro U.S.”) Rule 7.1 Disclosure Statement filed
`
`in Case No. 2:22-cv-00303-JRG (Dkt. No. 3), Trend Micro America, Inc. is a wholly-owned
`
`subsidiary of Trend Micro Japan. Trend Micro U.S. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Trend Micro

`
`
`Case 2:22-cv-00303-JRG Document 65 Filed 02/22/23 Page 2 of 3 PageID #: 243
`
`America, Inc. Counsel’s understanding is that Trend Micro Japan, Trend Micro America, Inc., and
`
`Trend Micro U.S. are distinct corporate entities and observe separate corporate formalities.
