2. Dividends of surplus
- Class A preferred dividends
When the Company decides to distribute dividends of surplus with a record date that falls within a certain fiscal year, it shall distribute dividends of surplus as money at the amount set forth in the following item per Class A share to shareholders holding Class A shares (hereinafter in this Article referred to as "Class A shareholders") or registered pledgees of Class A shares (hereinafter in this Article referred to collectively with Class A shareholders as "Class A shareholders, etc.") entered or recorded in the final shareholder register on the record date for the distribution of such dividends of surplus (hereinafter in this Article referred to as the "dividend record date"), in accordance with the payment order set forth in paragraph 10, item (1) of this Article (the amount paid per Class A share as a result of such dividends shall be hereinafter in this Article referred to as "Class A preferred dividends"). In addition, if a fraction of less than ¥1 occurs in the amount obtained by multiplying the Class A preferred dividends by the number of Class A shares held by each Class A shareholder, etc., such fractional amounts shall be rounded down.
(2) Amount of Class A preferred dividends To find the amount of the Class A preferred dividends, if the dividend record date falls in a fiscal year ending on or before March 31, 2026, an amount calculated by multiplying ¥1,000,000 (hereinafter in this Article referred to as the "amount equivalent to the amount paid") by 5.5%, if the dividend record date falls in a fiscal year beginning on or after April 1, 2026, an amount

Current Articles of Incorporation | Articles of Incorporation after amendments |
calculated by multiplying the amount equivalent to | |
the amount paid by 7.5%, shall be paid for the | |
actual number of days from the first day of the | |
fiscal year in which the relevant dividend record | |
date falls (however, if the relevant dividend record | |
date belongs to the fiscal year ending on March 31, | |
2024, this shall be the date of issuance of Class A | |
shares) (including that day) to the relevant | |
dividend record date (including that day), | |
calculated on a pro-rata daily basis, assuming that | |
one year is 365 days (or, if the relevant fiscal year | |
includes a leap day, 366 days). (This pro-rata | |
division shall be performed at the end, calculated | |
to the second decimal place, then rounded off to | |
the first decimal place.) However, if surplus is | |
distributed to Class A shareholders, etc. on a record | |
date during the fiscal year that includes the relevant | |
dividend record date but prior to the relevant | |
dividend record date, the amount of Class A | |
preferred dividends for the relevant dividend | |
record date shall be the amount after deducting the | |
total amount of each Class A preferred dividend | |
paid. | |
(3) Non-participation clause | |
The Company will not pay dividends of surplus to | |
Class A shareholders, etc. in excess of the amount | |
of Class A preferred dividends and the amount | |
equivalent to Class A cumulative unpaid dividends | |
(as set forth in the following item). However, this | |
shall not apply to dividends of surplus due to | |
absorption-type split procedures conducted by the | |
Company provided for in Article 758, item 8(b) or | |
Article 760, item 7(b) of the Companies Act or | |
dividends of surplus due to incorporation-type split | |
procedures conducted by the Company provided | |

for in Article 763, paragraph 1, item 12(b) or | |
Article 765, paragraph 1, item 8(b) of the | |
Companies Act. | |
(4) Cumulative clause | |
If the total amount of dividends of surplus per | |
share paid to Class A shareholders, etc. on the | |
dividend record date for a certain fiscal year | |
(excluding dividends in the amount equivalent to | |
Class A cumulative unpaid dividends (defined | |
below) accumulated pursuant to this item with | |
respect to Class A preferred dividends for each | |
fiscal year prior to the relevant fiscal year) does not | |
reach the amount of Class A preferred dividends | |
for that fiscal year (calculated in accordance with | |
item (2) of this paragraph, assuming that dividends | |
of surplus with a record date of the last day of the | |
relevant fiscal year are to be paid. However, such | |
calculation shall be made assuming that the | |
provisions of the proviso to item (2) of this | |
paragraph do not apply), the amount of the | |
shortfall shall be accumulated for the fiscal year | |
following that fiscal year (hereinafter in this item | |
referred to as the "deficient fiscal year") and | |
thereafter. In this case, the cumulative amount shall | |
be calculated by adding, for the period from the | |
day following the Ordinary General Meeting of | |
Shareholders for the deficient fiscal year (including | |
that day) until the day on which the cumulative | |
amount is distributed to Class A shareholders, etc. | |
(including that day), the amount calculated using | |
compound interest on an annual basis at an interest | |
rate of 5.5% if that fiscal year is a fiscal year | |
ending on or before March 31, 2026, or 7.5% if | |
that fiscal year is a fiscal year ending on or after | |
April 1, 2026. However, the first year of such | |
- 8 -
Current Articles of Incorporation | Articles of Incorporation after amendments |
calculation shall be from the day following the | |
Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders for the | |
deficient fiscal year (including that day) to the last | |
day of the fiscal year following the deficient fiscal | |
year (including that day). This shall be calculated | |
on a pro-rata daily basis, assuming that one year is | |
365 days (or, if the relevant fiscal year includes a | |
leap day, 366 days), with the relevant division to be | |
performed at the end, calculated to the second | |
decimal place, then rounded off to the first decimal | |
place. The amount accumulated pursuant to this | |
item (hereinafter in this Article referred to as the | |
"amount equivalent to Class A cumulative unpaid | |
dividends") shall be distributed to Class A | |
shareholders, etc. in accordance with the payment | |
order set forth in paragraph 10, item (1) of this | |
Article. In addition, if a fraction of less than ¥1 | |
occurs in the amount obtained by multiplying the | |
amount equivalent to Class A cumulative unpaid | |
dividends for which such dividends are to be paid | |
by the number of Class A shares held by each Class | |
A shareholder, etc., such fractional amounts shall | |
be rounded down. | |
3. Distribution of residual assets | |
(1) Distribution of residual assets | |
When distributing residual assets, the Company | |
shall pay to Class A shareholders, etc., in | |
accordance with the payment order set forth in | |
paragraph 10, item (2) of this Article, the amount | |
equivalent to the amount paid plus the amount | |
equivalent to Class A cumulative unpaid dividends | |
and the daily prorated unpaid preferred dividend | |
amount set forth in item (3) of this paragraph | |
(hereinafter in this Article referred to as the | |
"amount of Class A residual assets distributed") for | |
- 9 -
Current Articles of Incorporation | Articles of Incorporation after amendments |
each Class A share. However, in this item, if the | |
day of distribution of residual assets (hereinafter in | |
this Article referred to as the "distribution date") | |
falls within the period from the day following the | |
dividend record date (including that day) to the | |
point when the dividends of surplus based on the | |
dividend record date is made, the dividends of | |
surplus based on the dividend record date will not | |
be considered to have occurred when calculating | |
the amount equivalent to Class A cumulative | |
unpaid dividends. In addition, if a fraction of less | |
than ¥1 occurs in the amount obtained by | |
multiplying the amount of Class A residual assets | |
distributed by the number of Class A shares held by | |
each Class A shareholder, etc., such fractional | |
amounts shall be rounded down. | |
(2) Non-participation clause | |
Other than the previous item, no distribution of | |
residual assets will be made to Class A | |
shareholders, etc. | |
(3) Daily prorated unpaid preferred dividend amount | |
The daily prorated unpaid preferred dividend | |
amount per Class A share shall be the amount | |
equivalent to the Class A preferred dividends | |
calculated in accordance with item (2) of the | |
preceding paragraph, assuming that Class A | |
preferred dividends are paid in the fiscal year to | |
which the distribution date belongs, with the | |
distribution date as the dividend record date. | |
(Hereinafter in this Article, the daily prorated | |
unpaid preferred dividend amount per Class A | |
share shall be referred to as the "daily prorated | |
unpaid preferred dividend amount.") | |
