Dear Shareholders,

NOTIFICATION OF PERSONNEL CHANGE OF REPRESENTATIVE DIRECTOR,
PRESIDENT AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
Ricoh Company, Ltd. announces a personnel change of Representative Director,
President and Chief Executive Officer as approved by the Meeting of the Board
of Directors held today, February 22, 2013.
1. Background of the change
Since Mr. Kondo became president of Ricoh in 2007, the company, under his
leadership, has been fully engaged in creating customer value through expanding
its business domain from office equipment to production printing and other new
businesses including MDS and IT Services, while actively globalizing through
strategic acquisitions. At the same time, Ricoh was adversely affected by a
series of major events such as the global financial crisis in 2008, the March
2011 Earthquake and Tsunami in Japan and the floods in Thailand the same year.
Even under such extreme circumstances, the Ricoh Group pursued vigorous
measures including extensive structural reforms to reinvigorate the business.
In the spirit of these initiatives and to further bolster the business and
reinforce the earnings structure, the company is announcing a series of changes
at the top.
