If an employee leaves the association upon reaching retirement age or for another legitimate reason, the transfer restrictions will be lifted on the date the withdrawal application is accepted. If an employee becomes a non-resident due to an overseas transfer or other reason, the transfer restrictions will be lifted on the date the overseas transfer or other event is decided. |

| Procedures under the Corporate Code of Conduct | Because the dilution rate 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 a procedure to confirm shareholders' intentions are not required. The Audit and Supervisory Committee expressed the opinion that the subscription price is not particularly favorable and is lawful. |
| Impact on Business Performance | The specific amount of the impact on financial results from this issuance of new shares is Not disclosed. The Company believes that the scheme will contribute to increasing the corporate value of the Group. |
