(Note 1)		If the total number of the share certificates tendered in the Tender Offer (the “Tendered Share Certificates”) falls below the minimum number of shares to be purchased (4,193,200 shares), none of the Tendered Share Certificates will be purchased. If the total number of the Tendered Share Certificates is equal to or greater than the minimum number of shares to be purchased (4,193,200 shares), all of the Tendered Share Certificates will be purchased.
(Note 2)		Since no maximum number of shares to be purchased has been established with respect to the Tender Offer, the number of shares to be purchased is indicated as 6,289,784 shares, which is the maximum number of the Target Company Shares to be purchased by the Tender Offeror in the Tender Offer. This number (6,289,784 shares) represents the total number of issued shares as of June 30, 2023 (6,300,000 shares) listed in the “First Quarter Results for FY Ending March 2024 [Japanese Accounting Standards] (Non-Consolidated)”, as announced on August 9, 2023, by the Target Company (the “Target First Quarter Results”), minus the number of the Target Company Shares held by the Tender Offeror as of August 9, 2023 (1 share) and the number of treasury shares held by the Target Company as of June 30, 2023 (10,215 shares) as listed in the Target First Quarter Results.
(Note 3)		Shares less than one share unit are also subject to the Tender Offer. In cases where holders of shares less than one share unit demand that the Target Company purchase their shares that are less than one share unit pursuant to the Companies Act (Act No. 86 of 2005, as amended), the Target Company may purchase its own shares during the period for the Tender Offer (“Tender Offer Period”) according to the procedures set forth by the relevant laws and regulations.
(Note 4)		None of the treasury shares held by the Target Company are planned to be acquired through the Tender Offer.

(Note 1)		“Number of Voting Rights attached to Share Certificates held by Specially Related Parties before the Purchase” and “Number of Voting Rights attached to Share Certificates held by Specially Related Parties after the Purchase” indicate the number of voting rights attached to the Share Certificates held by Specially Related Parties (other than those Specially Related Parties that are excluded from the Specially Related Parties pursuant to Article 3, Paragraph 2, Item 1 of the Ordinance in calculating the Share Certificate Shareholding Ratio under the items of Article 27-2, Paragraph 1 of the FIEA).
(Note 2)		“Number of Voting Rights attached to Share Certificates held by the Tender Offeror after the Purchase” is the number of voting rights equal to the number of voting rights attached to the Share Certificates to be purchased in the Tender Offer plus the “Number of Voting Rights attached to Share Certificates held by the Tender Offeror before the Purchase.”
(Note 3)		“Number of Voting Rights of All Shareholders of the Target Company” (as of March 31, 2023)” is the number of voting rights (on the assumption that 1 share unit is 100 shares) of all shareholders as of March 31, 2023, as described in the Annual Securities Report for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, that was submitted by the Target Company on June 15, 2023. However, shares that are less than one share unit are also subject to the Tender Offer, and accordingly, the “Share Certificate Shareholding Ratio before the Purchase” and the “Share Certificate Shareholding Ratio after the Purchase” are calculated using the number of voting rights (62,897) attached to 6,289,785 shares as the denominator. This number (6,289,785 shares) represents the number of issued shares as of June 30, 2023 (6,300,000 shares) listed in the Target First Quarter Results minus the number of treasury shares held by the Target Company as of June 30, 2023 (10,215 shares) as listed in the Target First Quarter Results.
