Contract Signed with Promising Rookie Pro Golfer, Rory McIlroy

Arc Quest Co., Ltd (Headquartered in Chuo-ku, Osaka, Japan, President: Katsumi Komatsu, hereafter Arc Quest), a manufacturer and distributor of medical devices, general merchandise and household products), has entered into a contract with Pro Golfer, Rory McIlroy, to endorse the "Colantotte" brand of products. The three-year contract period will run from January 1, 2010 through December 31, 2012.

McIlroy recorded a forty-yard drive at the age of 2. At 9, he hit his first hole in one. After having won major Irish Golf championships as an amateur and achieving number one World Amateur ranking status, he turned professional in 2007. After going pro, he became seeded in the second round of the European tour. In 2009, at the age of 19 years and 273 days, he won the Dubai Desert Classic.

Before turning pro, McIlroy had already been a regular user of Arc Quest's Colantotte products and with that history, this contract came to fruition.
