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.
Conditions for lifting transfer restrictions
Plan B vests 3 years after the grant date, Plan C vests in equal annual installments of one-third over 3 years from the grant date, and Plan F vests 1 year after the grant date. As a general rule, vesting is conditional on the recipient continuing to hold the position of officer or employee of a group company. Special provisions apply if the recipient loses that position due to death, retirement at the mandatory retirement age or other legitimate reasons.
Reason for acquisition without consideration
All unvested RSUs lapse if, before the vesting date, the recipient relinquishes the RSUs, is sentenced to imprisonment or a more severe penalty, becomes subject to a petition to commence bankruptcy or other proceedings, becomes subject to attachment or similar measures, or falls under any other circumstances specified in advance by the Company.
Categories and Number of Persons Covered
8 executive officers and other officers of the Company, 931 employees of the Company, 99 directors and other officers of the Company's related companies, and 6,333 employees of the Company's related companies. Separately, for the cash payment portion, 2 directors and other officers of related companies and 84 employees of related companies.
Payment date
Contribution in kind of monetary claims 1 December 2026 / Cash payment From 1 December 2026 through 15 December 2026
Basis for determining the amount to be paid
The closing price for regular trading on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on 12 November 2026 was ¥4,281. The amount is based on the closing price on the business day preceding the decision date of the Representative Executive Officer and is set at an amount that is not particularly favorable. No numerical discount or premium rate is stated.
Procedures under the Corporate Code of Conduct
A decision by the Representative Executive Officer based on a delegation under a resolution of the Board of Directors. No statement is made regarding obtaining an independent third-party opinion or confirming shareholder intent.
