Reference Materials for the General Meeting of Shareholders

Proposals and reference matters

Proposal No. 1: Appropriation of Surplus

1. Reason for the appropriation of surplus

In order to make up for the deficit in retained earnings brought forward, improve financial standing, and ensure the flexibility and agility of future capital policy, the Company proposes the appropriation of surplus. Specifically, pursuant to the provisions of Article 452 of the Companies Act, the deficit will be covered by transferring other capital surplus to retained earnings brought forward. As a result, the Company's amount of retained earnings brought forward after the transfer will be 0 yen.

This proposal relates to a transfer of account items within net assets on the non-consolidated balance sheet, therefore there are no changes in the amount of net assets of the Company. In addition, the total number of shares issued will not change, therefore there will be no impact on shareholders' number of shares held or net assets per share.

2. Matters related to the appropriation of surplus

(1)

Item under retained earnings to be reduced and said amount

Other capital surplus

790,157,264 yen

(2)

Item under retained earnings to be increased and said amount
