Notice of Issuance of Stock Acquisition Rights (Stock Options with Charge)

The Company hereby announces that, at the meeting of the Board of Directors held on July 22, 2022, the Company resolved to issue stock acquisition rights to its director pursuant to Articles 236, 238, and 240 of the Companies Act as stated below. The Company will issue the stock acquisition rights without obtaining approval of the General Meeting of Shareholders because the rights are to be issued to those who intend to subscribe to the stock acquisition rights at a fair price without discount from market price. Furthermore, the stock acquisition rights will not be issued as a remuneration to the subscriber but based on the investment decision of the subscriber.

I. Purpose and reason for solicitation of subscribers for the stock acquisition rights

The Company will issue and allot the stock acquisition rights with charge to its director in order for it to promote appropriate risk taking by linking an increase in shareholder value with director's compensation with the aim of expanding the Company's mid- and long-term business performance and increasing its corporate value.

The total number of the Company's common shares increased when all of the stock acquisition rights are exercised will account for 2.1% of the total number of issued shares as of the end of June 2022. Since exercise of the stock acquisition rights is conditioned on achievement of a preset performance target, the Company believes that achievement of the target will contribute to improvement of the Company's corporate value and shareholder value. Therefore, the Company believes that issuance of the stock acquisition rights will promote the interests of the Company's existing shareholders and that the impact of dilution of shares will be within a reasonable extent.

1. Number of the stock acquisition rights 5,000 rights

The total number of shares to be allotted upon exercise of the stock acquisition rights will be 500,000

common shares. If the number of shares to be allotted for each stock acquisition right is adjusted as per 3.

  1. below, it will be the adjusted number of shares to be allotted multiplied by the number of the stock acquisition rights.

2. Payment of cash in exchange for the stock acquisition rights

The issue price per stock acquisition right will be JPY 1,400. The price was determined by a third-party assessment organization Plutus Consulting Co., Ltd. based on a generally-accepted option price calculation model called Monte Carlo Simulation Model taking the Company 's share price, etc. into consideration.

3. Details of the stock acquisition rights

(1) Class and number of shares to be issued upon exercise of the stock acquisition rights

Upon exercise of each of the stock acquisition rights, 100 common shares (the "Number of Shares to be Allotted") will be issued.

Should the Company conduct a share split (including an allotment of common shares without consideration; the same shall apply hereinafter) or share consolidation on or after the date of allotment of the stock acquisition rights, the Number of Shares to be Allotted shall be adjusted in accordance with the following formula; provided, however, that such adjustment shall be made only to the Number of Shares to be Allotted for the stock acquisition rights, which have not yet been exercised at the time of the adjustment. Any fraction less than one share arising from the adjustment shall be rounded off.

Number of Shares to be Allotted after adjustment = Number of Shares to be Allotted before adjustment × Ratio of share split or share consolidation

In addition, in any event that makes it necessary to adjust the Number of Shares to be Allotted, including a merger, company split, and reduction of the stated capital, on and after the date of allotment of the stock acquisition rights, the Number of Shares to be Allotted shall be adjusted appropriately within a reasonable range.

  1. Value of assets to be contributed upon exercise of the stock acquisition rights or calculation method thereof The value of assets to be contributed upon exercise of each stock acquisition right shall be the

amount to be paid in for each share (the "Exercise Price"), multiplied by the Number of Shares to be Allotted.

The Exercise Price shall be JPY 657.

Should the Company conduct a share split or share consolidation on or after the date of allotment of the stock acquisition rights, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted in accordance with the following formula, with any fraction less than JPY 1 rounded up.

Exercise Price after adjustment =

1

Exercise Price before adjustment × Ratio of share split or share consolidation

Should the Company issue new common shares or dispose of its treasury common shares at a price lower than current market price on or after the date of allotment of the stock acquisition rights (except issuance of new shares or disposal of treasury shares upon exercise of the stock acquisition rights and transfer of treasury shares upon exchange of shares), the Exercise Price shall be adjusted in accordance

with the following formula, with any fraction less than JPY 1 rounded up.

minus the number of treasury common shares and "Number of new issue shares" shall be read as "The number of treasury shares to be disposed of" in the case of disposal of the Company's treasury common shares.

In addition to the above, in any event that makes it necessary to adjust the Number of Shares to be Allotted, including a merger and company split and other events equivalent thereto, on and after the allotment date of the stock acquisition rights, the Company may make appropriate adjustment to the Exercise Price within a reasonable range.
