SUMMARY ORDER
Plaintiff-Appellant Frederick Gundlach appeals from the district court’s dismissal of his complaint against IBM Japan Ltd. (“IBM Japan”), Cognos, K.K. (“Cognos”), which was acquired by IBM Japan, International Business Machines Inc. (“IBM USA”), and John or Jane Does, alleging, inter alia, employment discrimination under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, 42 U.S.C.2000e, et seq. In two separate opinions issued on May 1, 2012, and November 21, 2013, the district court held that (1) it lacked personal jurisdiction over IBM Japan, (2) Gundlach failed to state a claim against John and Jane Does, later identified as Kuniya Tsubota, for tortious interference with contractual relations, and (3) Gundlach failed to state a claim for employment discrimination under Title VII against IBM USA. We assume the parties’ familiarity with the underlying facts, the procedural history of the case, and the-issues on appeal.
We review de novo a district court’s dismissal of a complaint for lack of personal jurisdiction under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(2). See Grand River Enters. Six Nations, Ltd. v. Pryor, 425 F.3d 158, 165 (2d Cir.2005). The plaintiff bears the burden of demonstrating that personal jurisdiction exists, see Robinson v. Overseas Military Sales Corp., 21 F.3d 502, 507 (2d Cir.1994), and where, as here, the parties have conducted discovery regarding the defendant’s contacts with the forum state, “the plaintiffs prima facie showing ... must include an averment of facts that, if credited ... would suffice to establish jurisdiction over the defendant,” Bank Brussels Lambert v. Fiddler Gonzalez & Rodriguez, 171 F.3d 779, 784 (2d Cir.1999) (quoting Metropolitan Life Ins. Co. v. Robertson-Ceco Corp., 84 F.3d 560, 567 (2d Cir.1996)). We also review de novo a district court’s dismissal of a complaint pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6), accepting all factual allegations in the complaint as true, and drawing all reasonable inferences in the plaintiffs favor. See Rothstein v. UBS AG, 708 F.3d 82, 90 (2d Cir.2013).
First, for the reasons stated in its well-reasoned opinion, the district court properly dismissed the Title VII claims against IBM Japan for lack of personal jurisdiction. Gundlach failed to satisfy his burden to show either that IBM Japan engaged in “continuous, permanent and substantial activity in New York,” Landoil Res. Corp. v. Alexander & Alexander Servs., Inc., 918 F.2d 1039, 1043 (2d Cir. 1990) (internal quotation marks omitted), or that IBM Japan was a “mere department” of a local corporation, Volkswagenwerk Aktiengesellschaft v. Beech Aircraft Corp., 751 F.2d 117, 120 (2d Cir.1984) (internal quotation marks omitted).
Second, for the reasons stated in its opinion, the district court properly dismissed thé tortious interference claim against John and Jane Does, later identified as Kuniya Tsubota, for failure to state a claim. Gundlach’s allegation that Tsubota did nothing to ensure that Gundlach’s contract with Cognos would not be breach*10ed failed to plausibly show, as required by New York law, that “the ‘defendant! ] intentionally] procure[d] ... the third party’s breach of the contract.’ ” Kirch v. Liberty Media Corp., 449 F.3d 388, 401 (2d Cir.2006) (quoting Lama Holding Co. v. Smith Barney Inc., 88 N.Y.2d 413, 646 N.Y.S.2d 76, 668 N.E.2d 1370, 1375 (1996)).
Finally, we affirm the district court’s dismissal of the complaint as to IBM USA, but on alternate grounds. Under 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-l(c)(2), prohibitions against unlawful employment practices in' “Sectionf ] 2000e-2 ... shall not apply with respect to the foreign operations of an employer that is a foreign person not controlled by an American employer.” Control is determined by considering the following factors: common ownership or financial control, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-1(c)(3)(D); common management, § 2000e-l(c)(3)(B); interrelation of operations, § 2000e-l(c)(3)(A); and centralized control of labor relations, § 2000e-1(c)(3)(C). In its personal jurisdiction analysis, the district court correctly made the following factual findings: first, although the parties do not dispute the fact of common ownership, with respect to financial control, IBM Japan is financially solvent, does not rely on IBM USA for financial support, purchases and finances its own inventory, earns significant annual profits from its own sales in Japan, maintains its own bank accounts, borrows from Japanese banks without having the loans guaranteed by IBM USA, and receives no zero-interest or below-market interest loans from IBM USA. Second, with respect to corporate formalities and common management, IBM Japan has its own officers and executives separate from IBM USA (in fact, IBM Japan and IBM USA share no officers), maintains its own Board of Directors, which holds regular meetings at which minutes are taken and decisions regarding IBM Japan are discussed and voted on, and maintains its own corporate records, general ledger, and corporate governance policies. Third, with respect to interrelation of operations, IBM Japan sets its own prices, develops its own strategy for marketing, and sells through its own distribution network. Based on these facts,1 this Court finds that IBM Japan is a foreign person not “controlled” by IBM USA, under 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-l(c)(2)’s exemption to Title VII, and thus affirms the district court’s dismissal of the complaint as to IBM USA.
We have considered all of the plaintiff-appellant’s remaining arguments and find them to be without merit. Accordingly, for the foregoing reasons, the decision of the district court is AFFIRMED.
