    Eisai Co., Ltd. No. 11-1 Stock Acquisition Rights

  • 2.

    Total number of stock acquisition rights:

    1,530

    The above stated total is the anticipated number of shares to be allotted for stock acquisition rights. In the event that the total number of applications received does not meet the anticipated total number of shares, leading to a reduction in the total number of shares available for stock acquisition rights allotment, then the total number of shares included in the allotment of stock acquisition rights shall be the total number of shares issued to be included in the stock acquisition rights.

  • 3.

    Class and number of the shares to be issued upon exercise of stock acquisition rights:

    The class of shares to be issued upon exercise of stock acquisition rights is shares of common stock. The number of shares to be issued upon exercise of each stock acquisition right (“the Number of Granted Shares”) shall be 100 shares. However, if, after the date of allotment of stock acquisition rights specified in Item 14 below (“the Date of Allotment”), the Company carries out a stock split (including allotment of shares of common stock without contribution; the same shall apply hereafter in relation to stock splits) or a consolidation of common stock, the Number of Granted Shares shall be adjusted according to the following formula. Any fractions of less than one (1) share arising from this adjustment shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number. With regard to the date on which the Number of Granted Shares after adjustment becomes effective, the provision of Item 5 (2)(i) below shall apply mutatis mutandis.

    In addition, the Number of Granted Shares shall be adjusted within reason in the unavoidable event that an adjustment of the Number of Granted Shares is required after the Date of Allotment. Any fractions of less than one (1) share arising from this adjustment shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number. If the Number of Granted Shares is adjusted, the Company shall, not later than the day prior to the date on which the Number of Granted Shares after adjustment takes effect, issue a public announcement or other notification to inform the holders of stock acquisition rights (“the stock acquisition rights holders”), as listed on the Stock Acquisition Rights Register, of all necessary information. If for some reason it is not possible to issue this public announcement or notification by the day prior to the date on which the Number of Granted Shares after adjustment takes effect, the public announcement or notification must be issued as soon as possible after this date.

  • 4.

    Amount of assets to be contributed upon exercise of stock acquisition rights:

    The amount of assets to be contributed upon exercise of each stock acquisition right will be the amount obtained by multiplying the amount to be paid for each share to be issued or transferred upon exercise of stock acquisition rights (the “Exercise Price”) by the Number of Granted Shares. However, the Exercise Price may be adjusted as specified in Item 5 below.
     The Exercise Price shall be either (i) the average of the closing prices of the common stock in the regular trading thereof on the Tokyo Stock Exchange (“Closing Price”) for each day (excluding days on which there is no trading) of the month preceding the month of the Allotment Date, provided that any amount less than one (1) yen shall be rounded up to the nearest yen; or (ii) the Closing Price as of the Allotment Date (in the event that there is no Closing Price on the Allotment Date, the Closing Price of the day immediately preceding the Allotment Date shall apply), whichever is greater.

    Adjustment of the Exercise Price:

    • (1)
      If, after the Allotment Date, either (i) or (ii) below occurs with respect to the common stock of the Company, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted using the respective calculation formulae stated below (“the Exercise Price Adjustment Formula”).

        • (a)
          The “market price” to be used in the Exercise Price Adjustment Formula shall be the average of the closing price (including indicative prices; all subsequent references to closing prices should be taken to include indicative prices) of the common stock listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange (“the closing price”) on each of the 30 trading days commencing 45 trading days prior to the date on which the adjusted exercise price takes effect (“the effective date”) as specified in Item 5 (2) below, excluding those days on which there is no closing price. Yen values shall be calculated to second decimal place, with third decimal place values of 4 or less rounded down and values of 5 or greater rounded up.
        • (b)
          The “Number of previously issued shares” to be used in the Exercise Price Adjustment Formula is the total number of issued common stock excluding treasury stock related to common stock held by the Company as of the base date, if there is an allotment date, and as of the date one month prior to the effective date if there is no base date.

However, in the event that a stock split undertaken to increase capitalization or reserves using retained earnings requires approval by the Company’s General Meeting of Shareholders, if a date prior to the final day of the shareholders meeting is used as the base date for the stock split, then, commencing on the day after the final day of the shareholders meeting, the day after the base date for the stock split may be retroactively taken as the date on which the Exercise Price after adjustment took effect.
       Where the following proviso applies, with respect to the exercise of stock acquisition rights during the period between the day after the stock split base date and the final day of the shareholders meeting (the number of shares that can be received through the exercise of stock acquisition rights shall hereafter be referred to as “the number of shares receivable through exercising of stock acquisition rights prior to stock split”), the number of shares of common stock obtained through calculation using the following calculation formula shall be delivered. Any fractions of less than 1 (one) share shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number.

    • (ii)

      With respect to an Exercise Price after adjustment determined using the adjustment formula stated in (1) (ii) above, the Exercise Price after adjustment shall be deemed to come into effect on the day after the date of payment for the stock issue or disposal in question (if a payment period rather than a payment date is specified, then the Exercise Price after adjustment shall be deemed to come into effect on the day after the final day of the payment period; if there is a shareholder base date, then the Exercise Price after adjustment shall be deemed to come into effect on the day after the base date).
