| Amount | The face value of each shareholder benefit voucher is ¥100. In the example shown, ¥1,000 in benefits for 1 year of continuous ownership is added to the existing ¥2,500, for a total of ¥3,500. |
| Quantity / scale | Eligible shareholders are those who have continuously held shares for 1 year or 3 years and selected shareholder benefit vouchers. The number of additional vouchers granted will be 5 to 20 for both 1 year and 3 years of continuous ownership, depending on the number of shares held. The total, including the existing program, will be 15 to 290 vouchers.
