| Intended allottee's holding policy | During the restricted transfer period, transfers, the creation of security interests and other dispositions, as well as withdrawals from the employee stock ownership plan, will be restricted.

| Basis for determining the amount to be paid | The closing price of ¥3,679 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 5.84% for the one-month period from 7 July 2026 to 6 August 2026, 13.62% for the three-month period from 7 May 2026 to 6 August 2026, and 15.58% for the six-month period from 7 February 2026 to 6 August 2026. |
| Transfer restriction period | From 25 September 2026 to 1 June 2029 |
| Conditions for lifting transfer restrictions | Provided that an eligible employee remains a member of the employee stock ownership plan continuously from 25 September 2026 through 31 March 2027, all transfer restrictions will be lifted upon expiration of the restricted transfer period. The restrictions will also be lifted at the time and to the extent stipulated in the agreement in cases including withdrawal from the plan for a legitimate reason, becoming a non-resident, or a corporate reorganization. |
| Reason for acquisition without consideration | If an eligible employee engages in an act violating laws or regulations or falls under any other specified event set out in the relevant allotment agreement during the restricted transfer period. This also applies if any shares remain subject to transfer restrictions when the restricted transfer period expires or at a specified date on which the restrictions are lifted. |
| Categories and Number of Persons Covered | A maximum of 613 employees in managerial or professional positions at our subsidiaries (eligible employees), 118 shares per employee. |
| Total Stock-Based Compensation | Monetary claim of ¥434,122 per eligible employee |
| 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, obtaining an opinion from an independent third party and procedures for confirming shareholder intent are not required. The Audit and Supervisory Committee, comprising 4 members including 3 outside directors, has stated its opinion that the disposal price is not particularly favorable and is lawful. |
| Impact on Business Performance | We believe this will contribute to an increase in the corporate value of our group. |
