(collectively NSK) in Canadian class actions concerning the alleged price fixing of small-size ball bearings. Small-size ball bearings are notably used in communication devices, household appliances, video cameras, personal computers, printers, air conditioning units, vacuum cleaners, fishing reels and power tools, among other products. NSK has agreed to pay CAD 600,000 for the benefit of settlement class members. The settlement, which was negotiated over several months, is not an admission by NSK of liability, fault, or wrongdoing, but is a compromise of disputed claims. The settlement must be approved by the courts before it becomes effective. To be a member of these class actions, one must have purchased a small-size ball bearing or a product containing a small-size ball bearing between June 1, 2003 and October 31, 2011. This is the second and final settlement to be reached in the actions. An earlier national settlement valued at CAD 1.5 million has been previously approved by the courts. If approved, the NSK settlement will resolve the litigation in its entirety. The settlement amounts will not be distributed at this time. At a future time, the courts will approve a process for the payment of claims to class members. A further notice will be provided at the time of distribution. Reported Earnings • Feb 02

NSK Monocarrier Accelerates Certification of Ventilators for COVID-19 StarFish Medical called on NSK to quickly deliver up to 7,500 Monocarrier™ linear actuator assemblies for use in their Winnipeg 2.0 Ventilator. The Winnipeg Ventilator 2.0 employs a revolutionary "frictionless" piston design. The piston is precision-machined so that its diameter is only a fraction of a millimeter smaller than the diameter of the cylinder in which it moves along a central axis. The absence of a physical seal or contact between piston and cylinder greatly reduces the resistance to piston motion, making it possible to obtain very high flow rates. StarFish Medical engaged Toronto-based Celestica Inc. a leading electronics manufacturing services company, to co-ordinate the supply chain and its vendor network for manufacturing. The Monocarrier rodless linear actuator series combines three core NSK Automation technologies: precision-ground ball screws, linear guides with K1™ lubrication, and support bearings. These fully integrated components provide smooth, near-silent, high-accuracy linear positioning for up to 5 years or 10,000 km of travel without maintenance. They are available in a broad range of sizes and load capacities, from the very compact units used by StarFish Medical, to the Toughcarrier™ line of heavy-duty industrial units featuring cylindrical rollers as the rolling elements. The Monocarrier actuator also takes advantage of NSK Automation's mechatronics expertise, and can be easily combined with stepper or servo motors for a seamlessly integrated, preassembled and pretested component ready for installation. Multiple Monocarriers can easily be combined into an XYZ assembly or integrated with NSK linear guides and rails using readily available combination brackets, to create high-precision multi-axis robots or gantry systems. For applications ranging from semiconductor manufacturing, medical and diagnostic equipment, to 3D printers and industrial machining systems, NSK enables automation to help customers pioneer new technology, increase operational efficiency, or go to market faster.
