Introduction of a Restricted Stock Incentive Through the Employee Shareholding Association

「At a meeting of the Board of Directors held today, we resolved to introduce this program for eligible employees among the employees of the Company and its subsidiaries who join this employee shareholding association. The program is intended to promote the welfare of eligible employees by providing them with an opportunity, through the association, to acquire the Company's common shares issued or disposed of by the Company as restricted stock, thereby helping eligible employees build personal assets, providing them with an incentive to achieve sustained improvement in the Company's corporate value, and further promoting value sharing between eligible employees and the Company's shareholders.」
