23,484,378shares

(Note) At this meeting of the Board of Directors, it was resolved to cancel the Company's 1,082,069 treasury shares on September 29, 2021 (the total of 676,569 treasury shares held as of June 30, 2021 and 405,500 shares to be acquired gratis by September 29, 2021 in holding equivalents of the Company's board benefit trust (BBT)). Therefore, the Total Number of Issued Shares to Be Decreased is listed based on the post-cancellation total number of issued and outstanding shares.

Total Number of Issued Shares Issuable on Effective Date 24 shares

(3) Cases of fractions of less than one share

Method of Treatment of Fractional Less Than One Share (If Any) and Amount Expected to Be Delivered to Shareholders after Such Treatment

As a result of the Share Consolidation, the number of shares of Company Stock owned by shareholders

2

other than Studio Cruise Co., Ltd. (" the Offeror ") are to be fractional shares less than one share.

For the total number of fractional shares less than one share resulting from the Share Consolidation (according to Article 235, Paragraph 1 of the Companies Act [Act No. 86 of 2005 and including all revisions thereafter; the same shall apply hereinafter], in the event that this total includes fractional shares less than one share, the fractional portions shall be discarded), an equivalent number of shares shall be sold to the Offeror, with the proceeds from sale to be issued to all shareholders for whom fractional shares have occurred in accordance with said fractions.

The sale price in this event, if the necessary court approval is obtained as planned, is to be set at a price whereby a monetary amount equivalent to the multiplicative product of the number of Company Shares owned by all shareholders and 900 yen, which is the same amount as the offer price, can be delivered.

  • Expected Period of Sale and Time of Delivery of Proceeds from Sale to Shareholders

After the Share Consolidation takes effect, the Company is to, in accordance with the provisions of Article 234, Paragraph 2 of the Companies Act which is applied mutatis mutandis to Article 235, Paragraph 2 of the same, file a petition for court permission for the sale of Company Shares equivalent for the total number of fractional shares less than one share arising from the Share Consolidation, with petition submission to occur by mid-October 2021. The state of the courts will result in uncertainty in the time taken to obtain this permission, but we expect to obtain court permission by late October of the same year, execute sale to the Offeror by early November 2021, and then deliver the proceeds from sale for shares equivalent to the fractional shares to shareholders by late December 2021, once preparations have been made to promptly and smoothly deliver proceeds from the sale to shareholders.

2. Delisting and Future Outlook

With execution of the Share Consolidation, delisting criteria stipulated in the securities listing rules of the Tokyo Stock Exchange will be met. As a result, Company Stock is expected to be delisted on September 28, 2021 after designation as delisted issues for the period from September 7 to September 27, 2021.

In addition, the Offeror is to in principle continue use of the Company's trade name, and exploration is underway regarding the dispatch of multiple directors from the Offeror. However, the selection of specific directors has not yet been confirmed at this time, and is expected to be determined in discussion with the Company after completion of this transaction.
