Bringing housing savings contributions at a Chinese subsidiary into compliance with laws and covering past contributions

「With respect to housing savings at a Chinese subsidiary, a system under which the company and employees contribute equal amounts, the subsidiary had previously made contributions that did not comply with applicable laws based on local Chinese practices. As part of the structural reforms launched this fiscal year, we have revised the monthly contribution amount to the legally required amount and additionally incorporated ¥1 billion into our plan as an extraordinary loss, representing the estimated legally required contributions for past periods for current employees.」
