Proposal No. 2

Partial Amendments to the Articles of Incorporation

1. Reasons for amendments

  1. Addition of a business objective

With the Company's commercialization of the world's first blue phalaenopsis , we propose to add a business objective to Article 2 of the current Articles of Incorporation, and renumber the subsequent objectives accordingly.

  1. Introduction of a system for electronic provision of materials for General Meetings of Shareholders
    As the amended provisions stipulated in the proviso of Article 1 of the supplementary provisions of the "Act Partially Amending the Companies Act" (Act No. 70 of 2019) will be enforced on September 1, 2022, we propose to amend the Company's Articles of Incorporation of the Company as follows, to prepare for the introduction of a system for electronic provision of materials for General Meetings of Shareholders:
    1. The proposed Article 19, Paragraph 1 provides that information contained in the reference materials for the General Meeting of Shareholders, etc. shall be provided electronically.
    2. The purpose of the proposed Article 19, Paragraph 2 is to establish a provision to limit the scope of matters to be included in the paper copy to be sent to shareholders who have requested it.
    3. The provisions related to the internet disclosure of the reference materials for the General Meeting of Shareholders, etc. (Article 19 of the current Articles of Incorporation) will become unnecessary and will therefore be deleted.
    4. In line with the above establishment and deletion of the provisions, supplementary provisions related to the effective date, etc. shall be established.
