After the end of the performance evaluation period, the number of shares to be granted will be calculated in accordance with the following method.

(1) Quantitative Evaluation Items and Grant Ratio
Performance Indicators Composition ratio Change in the grant ratio Evaluation method
ROE 50% 0%~150% Calculated based on the actual (average) values for the three-year performance evaluation period
TSR 50% 0%~150% Calculated based on the actual value (absolute value) during the three-year performance evaluation period
(2) Calculation method for the number of shares to be paid:

The number of shares to be granted is calculated by multiplying the base number of shares4 by the weighted average of the grant ratio based on ROE and the grant ratio based on TSR.

2 The number of shares to be allotted above is based on the assumption that all monetary compensation claims to be granted to the allottees in accordance with the RSU Plan and the PSU Plan are contributed. The actual amount of monetary compensation claims to be contributed in kind will be calculated by deducting a certain amount to be granted in cash, the amount of which will be determined in consideration of withholding to be made by the Company with respect to the RSU Plan and the PSU Plan based on each country's tax regulations, from the amount of such monetary compensation claims, and hence the number of shares to be actually allotted is expected to decrease from the above numbers.

3 As for the PSU Plan, the number of shares to be allotted above is the maximum number (150% of the base number of shares) which shall be calculated on the basis of the base number of shares (782,100 shares) and is expected to be decreased, depending on the degree of achievement of the performance targets. In addition, the number of shares to be allotted is an estimated number at this point, and, if the allottee's continuous service is terminated prior to vesting date due to his/her own reasons, or any other certain events arise, the number of shares to be allotted may decrease without subscription of the Company's shares.

4 The base number of shares is the number of shares which shall be calculated by dividing the amount determined with reference to the performance and qualitative evaluation of the target fiscal year, as well as competitor benchmarking by the price of NHI common stock at the time of grant.

4. Calculation Basis of Disposition Price and its Specific Content

Disposition price of the disposition of treasury stock based on the Decision is 888 yen, which is the closing price (rounded up into yen) of shares of common stock of the Company on the Tokyo Stock Exchange as of the business day immediately preceding the date of the Decision (May 15, 2024). The reason to adopt the closing price of such date is that the Company has determined that, in the circumstance where the shares of common stock of the Company are listed and no special condition exists that shows an impossibility to depend on the latest stock price, such stock price is a reasonable one, which reflects corporate performance and market's supply/demand circumstance and excludes arbitrariness, and does not fall under an offering at a favorable price.
