Notice on New Stock Issuance in the Form of Stock Options

Type and number of shares to be used as stock options
The type of shares to be used as stock options shall be ordinary shares. The number of shares constituting one stock option (“Number of Shares”) shall be 100 shares. However, in the event that the Company carries out a stock split (inclusive of the gratis allotment of the Company’s ordinary shares; the same hereafter in relation to stock splits) after the date of resolution by the 95th Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders (“Date of Resolution”) or reverse stock split, the number of shares shall be adjusted according to the following formula. Any fraction of less than one share arising from this adjustment shall be omitted.

In addition, the number of shares shall be adjusted rationally in the event of the occurrence, after the Date of Resolution, of unavoidable circumstances that necessitate an adjustment of the Number of Shares.

Value of assets to be contributed for the exercise of stock options
The value of assets to be contributed for the exercise of stock options will be the amount to be paid per share of stock granted (“Exercise Price”) multiplied by the Number of Shares. The Exercise Price shall be the average closing price for the Company’s ordinary shares on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on each day (excluding days on which no trading is concluded) of the month preceding the month in which the stock option is issued (“Issue Date”) (“Closing Price”) with amounts less than 1 yen rounded up to the nearest yen. However, if this amount is less than the Closing Price on the Issue Date (in the event that no trading is concluded on that date, the Closing Price of the day immediately preceding the date on which no trading is concluded), the Closing Price on the Issue Date. In the event that after the Issue Date the Company carries out a stock split or reverse stock split of its ordinary shares, the Exercise Price will be adjusted according to the following formula, with resulting amounts less than 1 yen rounded up to the nearest yen.

However, in the event that after the Issue Date the Company issues new ordinary shares or disposes of treasury stock at a price that is less than the market price (excluding the exercise of the sale of treasury stock pursuant to Article 194 of the Corporate Law [demand for sale of odd-lot shares by odd-lot shareholders]; and the exercise of reservation rights pursuant to Article 280-19 of the Commercial Code prior to the “Partial Revision of the Commercial Code” [2001 Law No. 128] or exercise of the conversion of securities to the Company’s ordinary shares or exercise of the conversion of convertible shares or the exercise of reservation rights for the grant of the Company’s ordinary shares including reservation rights attached to bonds with stock options), the Exercise Price shall be adjusted according to the following formula, with amounts less than 1 yen rounded up to the nearest yen.

In the above formula, the “Number of newly issued shares” is the total number of shares excluding treasury stock shares related to ordinary shares held by the Company. In the event treasury stock shares are disposed of, the “Number of newly issued shares” shall be read as “Number of treasury stock shares disposed of.”
In addition to the above, in the event of the occurrence of matters after the Issue Date that makes adjustment of the Exercise Price necessary, such as the gratis allotment of other types of shares to ordinary shareholders and the paying of dividends to ordinary shareholders of the shares of other companies, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted within rational bounds after taking into consideration the conditions, etc., of such allotments, dividends, etc.
