Number of Granted Shares after adjustment = Number of Granted Shares before adjustment × Ratio of split or consolidation

The Number of Granted Shares after adjustment shall become effective, in the case of a stock split, on and after the day following the record date of the relevant stock split (or its effective date if no record date is specified) or, in the case of a consolidation of shares, on and after its effective date; provided, however, that, in the event that a stock split is conducted on the condition that a proposal to increase the capital stock or capital legal reserve by reducing the amount of surpluses is approved at the General Meeting of Shareholders and that the record date for such stock split is prior to the date of closing of said General Meeting of Shareholders, the Number of Granted Shares after adjustment shall be applicable on and after the day following the date of closing of said General Meeting of Shareholders with retrospective application since the day following said record date.

In addition, in case the Company merges with another corporation, demerges or it is deemed necessary in similar circumstances to adjust the Number of Granted Shares, after the Resolution Date, the Company may adjust the Number of Granted Shares to a reasonable extent.

When the Number of Granted Shares is adjusted, the Company shall give notice of necessary matters to each holder of the stock acquisition rights (hereinafter "Stock Acquisition Right Holders") recorded in the register of stock acquisition rights or give public notice thereof, no later than the day preceding the date on which the Number of Granted Shares after adjustment becomes effective; provided, however, that, if the Company is unable to give such notice or public notice no later than the date preceding such effective date, the Company shall thereafter promptly give such notice or public notice.

The compensation claim whose amount is equal to the total amount of the paid-in value for the stock acquisition rights held by the person to whom the stock acquisition rights are to be allotted is offset by his or her obligation to pay the paid-in value
