The Astellas European Foundation has today announced financial support to the Japanese Red Cross Society for their work to assist those impacted by the earthquake and tsunami on Friday, 11th March. The Japanese Red Cross Society is working with the local government of the affected region and the support will help provide aid to the local population.

Mr. Ken Jones, Chief Operating Officer of Astellas Pharma Europe Ltd. and a Trustee of the Astellas European Foundation said, "We are deeply saddened by the earthquake and subsequent events in Japan. I would like to thank the large number of people who have contacted Astellas to express their concern for our employees, and for the many people affected by the earthquake and tsunami . The Japanese Red Cross is doing incredible work in the region and we pledge our support to their vital efforts."

The support from the Astellas European Foundation is supplementary to donations by Astellas Pharma Inc., headquartered in Japan, to the Japanese Red Cross Society and by the Astellas USA Foundation to the relief work.

Our thoughts remain with those in Japan as the country continues to deal with this crisis.
