(Notes)
- There are no special interests between the Company and each of the candidates.
- Ms. Chiho Takeda's name on her family register is Chiho Kusajima. However, the name provided here is used when she performs her duties.
- Mr. Takashi Yoshida, Mr. Masao Nomura, Ms. Chiho Takeda and Mr. Atsushi Miyanoya are candidates for Outside Director. They are also candidates for independent officer, a position that the Tokyo Stock Exchange requires listed companies to assign to one or more of their officers. The position can be held only by a person whose interests cannot conflict with the interests of general shareholders.
- In accordance with the provisions of the Company's Articles of Incorporation, the Company has concluded an agreement with Mr. Takashi Yoshida, Mr. Masao Nomura, and Ms. Chiho Takeda to limit their liability for damage pursuant to Article 427, Paragraph 1 of the Companies Act. The maximum amount of liability under the agreement is the amount stipulated by laws and regulations. If their appointment is approved, the Company will maintain the agreement. If the appointment of Mr. Atsushi Miyanoya is approved, the Company plans to conclude an agreement with him to limit his liability for damage pursuant to Article 427, Paragraph 1 of the Companies Act. The maximum amount of liability under the agreement is the amount stipulated by laws and regulations.
- The Company has entered into a directors and officers liability insurance policy in which all Directors, Audit & Supervisory Board Members, and Executive Officers of the Company serve as insured parties, as provided in Article 430-3, Paragraph 1 of the Companies Act. The policy shall cover any legal damages and legal expenses arising from third party litigation, shareholder derivative actions and corporate litigation that should be borne by the insured parties. The cost of the insurance premium shall be borne wholly by the Company. However, in order to prevent the conclusion of the insurance policy from impairing the appropriateness of duties by the insured parties, the Company has established a payout limit of one billion yen, a deductible amount of 100 thousand yen per Officer and one million yen per claim, and a reduced payout ratio (the fraction of the insurance claims to be paid, of the amount that exceeds the deductible amount) of 95%. Each candidate will be included as an insured party under the insurance policy. The Company plans to renew the insurance policy with the same terms, on its renewal date.
