Independent committee investigations and financial statement restatements relating to misconduct, prior-period misstatements, and quality issues at overseas subsidiaries and other entities

Events during a specified period in which accounting fraud and errors, including improper payments at overseas subsidiaries and the premature recognition of sales, as well as quality control issues, were uncovered by an independent committee investigation, leading to the restatement of prior-year consolidated financial statements and the recognition of investigation expenses and quality-related provisions. This also includes additional burdens such as fines, damages, and product replacement and reinspection costs.
