2. Purposes and reasons for Disposal

Pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Directors meeting held on May 26, 2020, the Company decided to introduce the

"Transfer-RestrictedStock-Based Compensation" system and the "Performance-LinkedTransfer-RestrictedStock-Based Compensation" system (hereinafter collectively, the "Systems") for Executive Directors of the Company (hereinafter, "Eligible Directors") and Vice Presidents who do not concurrently serve as Director (hereinafter, together with Eligible Directors, "Eligible Directors, etc."), in order to aim for further sharing of values among Eligible Directors, etc. and shareholders and to make incentives toward medium- to long-term improvements in business results effectively function.

In addition, the upper-limit amount of monetary receivables paid to Eligible Directors in order to grant Transfer-Restricted

Stock-Based Compensation and Performance-LinkedTransfer-RestrictedStock-Based Compensation (hereinafter, the "Monetary Compensation Receivables") and the total number of common shares of the Company issued or disposed of for Eligible Directors under the Systems, as well as other related matters, were approved at the Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders for the 95th fiscal year held on June 26, 2020.

The overview, etc. of the Systems are as follows.

[Overview, etc. of the Systems]

The Systems consist of Transfer-RestrictedStock-Based Compensation which is granted as fixed compensation on the condition that Eligible Directors, etc. continuously hold the post predetermined by the Board of Directors for a certain period of time and Performance-LinkedTransfer-RestrictedStock-Based Compensation which is granted as performance-linked compensation according to the achievement status of performance targets, etc. predetermined by the Board of Directors (in principle, performance targets, etc. for a given one (1) fiscal year (hereinafter, the "Performance Evaluation Period")).

Eligible Directors, etc. make in-kind contribution of all the Monetary Compensation Receivables paid by the Company under the Systems and receive issuance or the disposal of common shares of the Company.

The total amount of Monetary Compensation Receivables paid to Eligible Directors by the Company under the Systems shall be not more than 30 million yen per year of Transfer-RestrictedStock-Based Compensation and not more than 100 million yen per year of Performance-LinkedTransfer-RestrictedStock-Based Compensation, for a total of not more than 130 million yen per year. In addition, the total number of common shares of the Company issued to or disposed of for Eligible Directors under the Systems shall be not more than 14,000 shares per year for Transfer-RestrictedStock-Based Compensation and not more than 46,000 shares per year for Performance-LinkedTransfer-RestrictedStock-Based Compensation, for a total of not more than 60,000 shares per year. The upper-limit amount of the Monetary Compensation Receivables and the total number of common shares of the Company issued or disposed of are for Eligible Directors; the amount and number do not include the amount of Monetary Compensation Receivables paid to and the number of common shares of the Company issued to or disposed of for Vice Presidents who do not concurrently serve as Director.

The amount to be disposed of (paid in) per share for issuance or disposal of the Company's common shares under the Systems shall be the amount determined by the Board of Directors within the range that is not particularly advantageous to the Eligible Directors, etc. who will receive such common shares of the Company, based on the closing price of the common shares of the Company in the Tokyo Stock Exchange on the business day immediately prior to the date of resolution of the Board of Directors (or the closing price on the transaction day immediately prior thereto if no transaction is made on such business day).

When the Company allots common shares of the Company to be issued to or disposed of for Eligible Directors, etc. under the Systems, the Company shall enter into contracts for allotment of transfer-restricted stock with Eligible Directors, etc. which have the following contents: (i) Eligible Directors, etc. shall not transfer, create a security interest on, or otherwise dispose of the allotted common shares of the Company for a certain period of time; and (ii) the Company will acquire said common shares without consideration when a certain reason arise, among other things.

The method to calculate the amount of Monetary Compensation Receivables pertaining to the Performance-LinkedTransfer-RestrictedStock-Based Compensation system, the allotment conditions of the Company's common shares to the Eligible Directors, etc. and other related matters are as follows.

  1. Method to calculate the amount of Monetary Compensation Receivables

The amount of Monetary Compensation Receivables to be granted to the Eligible Directors, etc. shall be calculated by multiplying the number of the Company's common shares to be eventually allotted to the Eligible Directors, etc. (hereinafter, the "Final Number of Allotted Shares") by a price that is not particularly advantageous to the Eligible Directors, etc., based on the closing price of the common shares of the Company in the Tokyo Stock Exchange on the business day immediately prior to the date of resolution of the Board of Directors to determine issuance or disposal of shares for the said allotment, held after the end of the Performance Evaluation Period (hereinafter, the "Board of Directors Resolution Date of Allotment"). The Final Number of Allotted Shares shall be the amount obtained by multiplying the total amount of performance-linked compensation determined in consideration of the achievement status of the performance targets, etc. and the stock-based compensation ratio by position predetermined by the Board of Directors, divided by a price that is not particularly advantageous to the Eligible Directors, etc., based on the closing price of the common shares of the Company in the Tokyo Stock Exchange on the business day immediately prior to the Board of Directors Resolution Date of Allotment.

  1. Allotment conditions of the Company's common shares to the Eligible Directors, etc.

The Company shall allot the Company's common shares in the Final Number of Allotted Shares to the Eligible

Directors, etc. after the end of the Performance Evaluation Period in the event that the Eligible Directors, etc. fulfill both of the following requirements or in the event that the Board of Directors deems it necessary to achieve the intent of the Systems.

  1. Eligible Directors, etc. have continuously held the post predetermined by the Board of Directors during the Performance Evaluation Period
  2. There were no certain wrongful activities determined by the Board of Directors

In the event that there is an Eligible Director, etc. who has been newly appointed during the Performance Evaluation Period or an Eligible Director, etc. has left his or her post predetermined by the Board of Directors for justifiable reason during the Performance Evaluation Period (except in the event of retirement due to death), the Company shall reasonably adjust the number of common shares of the Company to be allotted to the said Eligible Director, etc. or retiree based on factors including the length of tenure. In addition, in the event of death of an Eligible Director, etc. during the Performance Evaluation Period, based on the resolution of the Board of Directors, the Company shall provide money in the amount reasonably adjusted based on the length of tenure, instead of the common shares of the Company, to an heir who is a successor to the said Eligible Director, etc.

(3) Treatment in the event of organizational restructuring, etc.

In the case that matters regarding merger contracts under which the Company becomes the non-surviving company, share exchange agreements or share transfer plans under which the Company becomes a wholly owned subsidiary of another company, or any other organizational restructuring, etc. are approved at the General Meeting of Shareholders of the Company (or at a Board of Directors meeting of the Company in the case that approval by the General Meeting of Shareholders of the Company is not required regarding the said organizational restructuring, etc.) during the Performance Evaluation Period, the Company shall provide to the Eligible Directors, etc., based on the resolution of the Board of Directors, money in the amount reasonably adjusted based on the length of time from the commencement date of the Performance Evaluation Period to the date of approval of the said organizational restructuring, etc., instead of the common shares of the Company.

This time, in consideration of the purposes of the Systems, business conditions of the Company, the scope of job responsibility of each Eligible Director, etc. and other various circumstances, and with the aim of further motivating each Eligible Director, etc., the Company decided to grant the Monetary Compensation Receivables of 36,766,650 yen in total and 10,657 common shares of the Company as Transfer-RestrictedStock-Based Compensation for FY2024, and in addition, grant the Monetary Compensation Receivables of 43,352,700 yen in total and 12,566 common shares of the Company as Performance-LinkedTransfer-RestrictedStock-Based Compensation for FY2023, which makes the combined compensations granted the Monetary Compensation Receivables of 80,119,350 yen (hereinafter, the "Total Monetary Compensation Receivables") and 23,223 common shares of the Company. Performance-LinkedTransfer-Restricted Stock Based Compensation will be paid to Eligible Directors, etc. for FY2023 (from April 1, 2023 to March 31, 2024) according to the achievement status of performance targets, etc. for said fiscal year. Accordingly, the persons eligible for the allotment of the compensation include those who have retired from the position of Director or Vice President who do not concurrently serve as Director, whichever is applicable, at this point in time. The Company pays performance-linked compensation in the form of money and shares, and believes that paying part of performance-linked compensation in the form of shares to retirees after their retirement, according to the performance while in office, would serve as incentives for conducting business operation with a more awareness of performance improvement over the medium to long term.

In the Disposal of Treasury Shares, under the Systems, all Eligible Directors, etc., who are the persons eligible for the allotment, make in-kind contribution of all the Total Monetary Compensation Receivables to the Company and receive the allotment of common shares of the Company disposed of by the Company (hereinafter, the "Allotted Shares").

The Company has judged that the amount is reasonable, and does not constitute an amount particularly advantageous, as the amount is a quoted share price immediately prior to the date of resolution by the Board of Directors.
