Reason for revision or withdrawal

Although the Company worked to strengthen its management foundation under the previous medium-term management plan and improved ROE to a level above its cost of shareholders’ equity, it fell short of investor expectations and PBR remained below 1x. Accordingly, the Company identified the enhancement of corporate value over the medium to long term as an important management issue.
