Reference Documents for the General Meeting of Shareholders

Agenda Item 1: Partial amendment to the Articles of Association

1.

Reasons for the amendment

(1)

The Company proposes to partially amend its Articles of Association, envisioning new

business expansions, including the development of complex facilities and the creation of

new business models driven by digital technologies, as future growth strategies in addition

to its existing mall business.

(i)

Article 2, paragraph 1 and 15 in "Proposed amendments" will be added to promote the

business for development of complex facilities and revitalization of real estate, going beyond

the development of shopping malls.

(ii)

Article 2, paragraph 7 in "Proposed amendments" will be added to promote the expansion

of EC business including sale of goods.

  • (iii) Article 2, paragraph 8 in "Proposed amendments" will change the business in association with advertisement and publicity from an online-only model to a model including and beyond the Internet.

  • (iv) Article 2, paragraph 18 in "Proposed amendments" will specify the implementation and operation of sales promotion activities and various events for the Company and its subsidiaries' businesses.

  • (v) Article 2, paragraph 19 in "Proposed amendments" is added to start new information business such as utilizing customer information for mall operations.

  • (vi) Article 2, paragraph 20 in "Proposed amendments" is added to start logistics and warehouse businesses for the Company and its subsidiaries.

(2) A shareholders meeting without a designated location (the so-called virtual-only shareholders meeting) is newly allowed to convene following the enforcement of the Act of Partial Revision of the Industrial Competitiveness Enhancement Act, etc. on June 16, 2021. Therefore, the Company proposes to partially amend its Articles of Association.

(i) Article 12 (Convening of the General Meeting of Shareholders), paragraph (2) in "Proposed amendments" will be newly established to allow a virtual-only shareholder meeting. The Company believes that making the meeting easy to attend among many shareholders, including those in remote areas, leads to a more revitalized, efficient, and smooth shareholder meeting while contributing to preventing the spread of infectious disease such as COVID-19.

The Company intends to convene a virtual-only shareholders meeting only when it judges that the convention of a shareholders meeting with a designated location is not appropriate
