The dilution rate shows what proportion the newly issued shares represent of the existing shares. The higher the proportion, the more the value and voting rights per share are diluted.
Conditions on transfer restrictions
Restricted stock is stock awarded as compensation that cannot be sold during a specified period, with the restrictions lifted once the applicable conditions are met.
Transfer restriction period
From 18 August 2026 until immediately after the eligible employee leaves their position as an employee of the Company or one of its subsidiaries
Conditions for lifting transfer restrictions
Provided that the employee has continuously remained a member of the employee stock ownership plan throughout the transfer restriction period, all transfer restrictions will be lifted when the transfer restriction period expires. If the employee leaves the plan upon reaching the mandatory retirement age or for another legitimate reason, the restrictions will be lifted on the date the withdrawal application is accepted or another prescribed date. In the event of a corporate reorganization or similar transaction, the restrictions will be lifted subject to the prescribed conditions.
Reason for acquisition without consideration
If, during the transfer restriction period, the employee engages in an act violating laws or regulations or falls under any other prescribed circumstances set out in the allotment agreement. This also applies if any shares remain subject to transfer restrictions when the transfer restriction period expires or when the restrictions are lifted.

The closing price of ¥1,585 on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Prime Market on 2 July 2026, the business day preceding the date of the Board of Directors' resolution.

The Audit and Supervisory Committee, comprising 3 members including 2 outside directors, has expressed the opinion that the disposal price is not particularly favorable and that the transaction is lawful.
