The lower thin line represents the existing number of shares to which these shares will be added.

¥3,200 per share. However, if the closing price on the trading day immediately preceding 12 November 2026 exceeds ¥3,200, that closing price will apply.
Total issue value

¥214,400,000 (estimated amount; ultimately, the final disposal price multiplied by the final number of shares)

Amount of funds to be raised
Total payment amount: ¥214,400,000 (estimated amount). Estimated net proceeds: Not disclosed
Total Stock-Based Compensation

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 the payment date, 1 June 2027, through 31 May 2030
Conditions for lifting transfer restrictions
The restrictions will be lifted upon expiration of the period, provided that the employee has remained a member of the employee stock ownership association throughout the restricted period. If the employee leaves the association upon reaching retirement age or for another legitimate reason, or becomes a non-resident, the restrictions will be lifted on the applicable prescribed date. In the event of a corporate reorganisation or similar transaction, the restrictions will be lifted immediately before the business day preceding the effective date.
Reason for acquisition without consideration
If the employee leaves the employee stock ownership association during the period without a legitimate reason, violates laws or regulations, or falls under any other circumstances stipulated in the allocation agreement. This also applies if any shares remain subject to the restrictions at the time the restrictions are lifted.
Categories and Number of Persons Covered
Up to 670 employees of the company, 67,000 shares (assuming all employees join the employee stock ownership association and consent to the plan)
Payment date
1 June 2027
Basis for determining the amount to be paid
Based on the closing price of ¥3,200 on 4 November 2026, the business day preceding the date of the Board of Directors' resolution. If the closing price on the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the terms are determined exceeds this price, that closing price will apply. A discount of 5.52% to the 1-month average of ¥3,387, a discount of 4.71% to the 3-month average of ¥3,358, and a premium of 3.23% to the 6-month average of ¥3,100
Procedures under the Corporate Code of Conduct
Because the dilution ratio is below 25% and the transaction does not involve a change in the controlling shareholder, it is not necessary to obtain an opinion from an independent third party or conduct procedures to confirm shareholders' intentions. In addition, 3 directors serving as Audit and Supervisory Committee members, including 2 outside directors, expressed the opinion that the method for determining the disposal price was appropriate.
