The dilution rate shows what proportion the newly issued shares represent of the existing shares. The higher the proportion, the more the value and voting rights per share are diluted.

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.

Transfer restriction period
From 10 August 2026 to 8 August 2031
Conditions for lifting transfer restrictions
The transfer restrictions will be lifted upon expiry of the restriction period, provided that the eligible employee has continuously remained a member of the Employee Stock Ownership Plan throughout the restriction period. The restrictions will also be lifted at the prescribed time if the employee leaves the plan upon reaching the mandatory retirement age or for another valid reason, or becomes a non-resident due to an overseas transfer or other reason.
Reason for acquisition without consideration
If, during the restriction period, the eligible employee engages in conduct violating laws or regulations or otherwise falls under any of the circumstances specified in the allotment agreement. The shares will also be acquired without consideration if the transfer restrictions are not lifted upon expiry of the restriction period or at the prescribed time for lifting the restrictions.
Categories and Number of Persons Covered
Eligible employees of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries, up to 3,003 people. 15 shares per person.
Intended allottee's holding policy
During the restriction period, the shares will be managed in a dedicated account opened by the Employee Stock Ownership Plan with Nomura Securities Co., Ltd., and transfers, the creation of security interests, other dispositions and withdrawals will be restricted.
Payment date
10 August 2026
Basis for determining the amount to be paid
The closing price of ¥3,365 on the Prime Market of the Tokyo Stock Exchange on 11 May 2026, the business day preceding the date of the Board of Directors' resolution. The deviations from the average closing price were -1.09% for the one-month period from 13 April to 11 May 2026, -6.58% for the three-month period from 12 February to 11 May 2026, and 0.18% for the six-month period from 12 November 2025 to 11 May 2026.
Procedures under the Corporate Code of Conduct
Because the dilution ratio is less than 25% and the transaction does not involve a change in the controlling shareholder, it is not necessary to obtain an opinion from an independent third party or conduct procedures to confirm shareholder intent. The Audit and Supervisory Committee, comprising 3 members including 2 outside directors, expressed the opinion that the disposal price does not constitute an especially favorable price and that the transaction is lawful.
Impact on Business Performance
No specific monetary impact on performance is stated. The Company expects the transaction to contribute to an increase in corporate value.
