The 2016 Eisai Scientific Day will focus on the company's therapeutics pipeline in both neurology and oncology within the framework of its "Ricchi" philosophy. In Japanese, "Ricchi" is a place where the landscape is clear, a place far away from the crowds, where one would build a home.  Eisai's "Ricchi" involves understanding the unmet needs of patients with some of the hardest-to-treat medical conditions, challenging the innovation boundaries of new medicines toward preventive and curative therapies, and finding new treatment solutions. Eisai is deeply committed to its human health care (hhc) mission and finding "total patient care" solutions.

Haruo Naito, Representative Corporate Officer & CEO, Eisai Co., Ltd.; Ivan Cheung, President, Neurology Business Group and Chairman & CEO, Eisai Inc.; Terushige Iike, President, Oncology Business Group and a host of the company's global scientific leaders will provide insight into Eisai's emerging pipeline and unique approach to discovery and development. Presentations will concentrate on Alzheimer's and dementia-related diseases (neurology) and cancer (oncology) as strategically important areas identified in the company's recently issued "E-Way 2025" business plan. They will also cover Eisai's synergistic collaborations across academia and the industry to further support R&D innovation.

Eisai has a worldwide discovery and development network that includes: Tsukuba Research Laboratories in Japan, which has advanced novel small-molecule drug discoveries in both fields of neurology and oncology; KAN Research Institute in Japan, which is committed to integrated cell biology in neurology; H3 Biomedicine with a focus on cancer genomics located in Cambridge, Mass.; Eisai Andover innovative Medicines (AiM) Institute with a focus on neuro-inflammation and immuno-genetics driven drug discovery in Andover, Mass.; and Morphotek located in Exton, Pa. with an expertise in developing antibodies.

A webcast will be available on the day of the 2016 Eisai Scientific Day (June 29) in the "Investors" section under "Presentations" on the Eisai website at www.eisai.com. A replay of the presentation will be available for 120 days following the event. To ensure a timely connection, users should register at least 15 minutes prior to the scheduled start.
