Disposal of Treasury Stock as Post-Vesting Allotment Type Stock-Based
Compensation (FY2020 Second RSU)
Nissan (the "Company") resolved (the "Resolution") at the Board of Directors meeting held on June 28, 2022 to dispose of its treasury stock (the "Treasury Stock Disposal" or the "Disposal"). Details are set forth below.
1. Purpose and Rationale for Treasury Stock Disposal
The Company has introduced restricted stock units ("RSUs") from FY2020 as part of a stock- based compensation plan (the "Plan").
Under the Plan, executive officers, corporate officers and certain employees of the Company and its group companies, as well as directors (except Outside Directors) of the Company's group companies, in each case selected by the Company (collectively, "Recipients") will be provided common stock of the Company. The purpose of the Plan is to enable such Recipients to share the benefits as well as risks of stock price fluctuation with the Company's stockholders and to stimulate the motivation of such Recipients to contribute to an increase in stock price and a continued advancement of corporate value.
RSUs are rights to receive the number (predetermined for each Recipient) of shares of Common Stock ("Allotted Shares"). The Company will grant such RSUs to Recipients at the direction of the Compensation Committee (with respect to Recipients who are executive officers of the Company) or the Chief Executive Officer (with respect to all other Recipients), in each case based on the Restricted Stock Unit Regulations and the proposal to be made by the person having the authority to make such proposal. One-third of such RSUs will vest (and equivalent Allotted Shares will be provided to Recipients) each year over the course of three fiscal years, conditioned on such Recipients' continued employment and other conditions during a certain period (the "Subject Period").
For details of the Plan, please refer to the "Details of Stock-Based Compensation Plan and filing a Shelf Registration Statement" dated August 20, 2020.
The Company has granted to Recipients the RSUs described in the Shelf Registration Statement submitted on June 29, 2022. With respect to those RSUs with a vesting date of July 28, 2022 ("FY2020 Second RSU"), Allotted Shares will be allotted to the scheduled grantees (allottees) set out in 2.(6) below by means of the Treasury Stock Disposal in accordance with the Resolution. The actual number of Allotted Shares will be finalized upon the vesting of the RSUs.

3. Calculation Basis of Disposal Price and its Specific Content
The disposal price of the Treasury Stock Disposal based on the Resolution is JPY 549.0, which is the closing price of the shares of common stock of the Company on the Tokyo Stock Exchange as of the business day immediately preceding the date of the Resolution (June 27, 2022). The
disposal price is such closing price because the Company has determined that such stock price is reflective of corporate performance and market supply and demand and is therefore reasonable and exclusive of arbitrariness, given the common stock of the Company are listed and no special circumstance exists that suggests the latest stock price cannot be relied upon. In light of the foregoing, the Company has determined that the Disposal is not an offering at a favorable price.
