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 December 2026 to 1 June 2031
Conditions for lifting transfer restrictions
The transfer restrictions will be lifted at the end of the restricted transfer period, provided that the eligible employee has remained a member of the Employee Stock Ownership Plan throughout the restricted transfer period. In cases of retirement due to reaching the mandatory retirement age, expiration of the contract term, transfer to a group company or other legitimate reasons, the restrictions will be lifted at the prescribed time. If an employee becomes a non-resident due to an overseas transfer or other reason, the restrictions will be lifted on the determination date.
Reason for acquisition without consideration
If an eligible employee engages in an unlawful act during the restricted transfer period or falls under any other specified grounds set forth in the allotment agreement. This also applies if any shares remain subject to the restrictions at the end of the restricted transfer period or when the restrictions are lifted.
Categories and Number of Persons Covered
Up to 2,700 employees of the company, 80 shares each (up to 216,000 shares)
Intended allottee's holding policy
During the restricted transfer period, the shares will be held in a dedicated account opened by the Employee Stock Ownership Plan with Nomura Securities Co., Ltd., and transfers, the creation of security interests and other dispositions will be prohibited.
Payment date
18 December 2026
Basis for determining the amount to be paid
The closing price of ¥3,280 on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Prime Market on 6 August 2026, the business day preceding the date of the Board of Directors' resolution. The deviations from the average closing price were 2.12% for the one-month period from 7 July to 6 August 2026, 8.39% for the three-month period from 7 May to 6 August 2026, and 16.52% for the six-month period from 9 February to 6 August 2026.
Procedures under the Corporate Code of Conduct
Because the dilution ratio is less than 25% and the transaction does not involve a change in the controlling shareholder, obtaining an opinion from an independent third party and conducting procedures to confirm shareholders' intent are not required. The Audit and Supervisory Committee, comprising 4 members including 3 outside directors, has stated its opinion that the disposal price does not constitute an especially favorable price and that the transaction is lawful.
Impact on Business Performance
The company expects the introduction of this plan to contribute to an increase in corporate value. The monetary impact on financial results is Not disclosed
