If the total number of Tendered Shares equals or exceeds the minimum planned purchase quantity (2,058,875 shares), all Tendered Shares will be purchased.

(Note 3) Shares which constitute less than one unit were also targets of the Tender Offer. In the event that the Target Company shareholders exercise their right to demand a purchase of shares less than one unit in accordance with the Companies Act, the Target Company may purchase its own shares during the purchase period of the Tender Offer (the "Tender Offer Period") in accordance with the relevant laws and regulations.

(Note 4) There were no plans for the Tender Offeror to acquire the treasury shares owned by the Target Company through the Tender Offer.

    The Tender Offer was subject to a condition whereby, if the total number of Tendered Shares did not reach the minimum planned purchase quantity (2,058,875 shares), none of the Tendered Shares would be purchased. Since the total number of Tendered Shares (470,668 shares) did not reach the minimum planned purchase quantity (2,058,875 shares), the Tender Offeror will purchase none of the Tendered Shares as set forth in the public notice concerning the commencement of the Tender Offer (including amended matters in the amended statement of the public notice concerning the commencement of the Tender Offer subsequently submitted) as well as in the tender offer registration statement (including amended matters in the amended statement of the tender offer registration statement subsequently submitted).

(Note 1) "Number of voting rights associated with shares held by special related parties prior to the Tender Offer" and

"Number of voting rights associated with shares held by special related parties following the Tender Offer" indicate the total number of voting rights associated with shares held by the special related parties (excluding, however, special related parties who are excluded from being a special related party under Article 3(2)(i) of the Cabinet Office Order for the purpose of calculating the percentage of ownership of shares, etc., under each item of Article

27-2(1) of the Act).

(Note 2) "Number of voting rights held by all shareholders of the Target Company" indicates the number of voting rights held by all shareholders (the number of one unit: 100 shares) as of September 30, 2020, as described in the Target Company's Third Quarterly Report for the 148th Fiscal Year submitted on February 15, 2021 by the Target Company (the "Target Company's Third Quarterly Report"). However, given that shares less than one unit were also targets of the Tender Offer, for the purpose of calculating the "Percentage of shares held prior to the Tender Offer" and the "Percentage of shares held following the Tender Offer," the "Number of voting rights held by all shareholders of the Target Company" was 124,399, and the number of shares associated with the voting rights (12,439,909 shares) was obtained after subtracting the total number of treasury shares owned by the Target Company as of September 30, 2020 (3,591 shares), from the total number of issued shares as of the same date as described in the Target Company's Third Quarterly Report (12,443,500 shares).

(Note 3) "Percentage of shares held prior to the Tender Offer" and "Percentage of shares held following the Tender Offer" are both rounded to the nearest hundredth.

      Shares that need to be returned will be promptly returned to the tendering shareholder by restoring the state of the tendering shareholders' account opened by the tender offer agent upon the tender, on or after the second business day following the last day of the Tender Offer Period.

  • 3. Post-Tender Offer Policies and the Future Outlook

    The Tender Offer was intended to make the Target Company a wholly-owned subsidiary and thereby achieve integrated management of the Tender Offeror group to streamline and optimize management, achieve more flexible and faster decision making, and respond to the decrease in the domestic demand for petroleum products and the movement toward a decarbonized society. Furthermore, the Tender Offer Price was decided upon after implementation of measures to ensure fairness as well as measures to avoid conflicts of interest. Given the fact that the Tender Offer was not completed successfully, going forward, the Tender Offeror will, as it has in the past, aim to enhance the corporate value of the Tender Offeror group.
