2. Guidelines for issuance of subscription rights to shares

(1) Class and number of shares to be issued upon exercise of subscription rights to shares

115,000 shares of common stock of the Company

In the event that the Company splits its common stock (including allotment of its common stock without compensation) or consolidates its common stock, the number of shares to be issued upon exercise of each unit of subscription rights to shares shall be adjusted according to the formula outlined below; provided however, that such adjustment shall be made only to those subscription rights that remain unexercised at the time of such adjustment.

Number of shares after adjustment = (number of shares before adjustment) x (ratio of split or consolidation)

In the event that the Company conducts a merger, a company split, a share exchange, share transfer or share delivery, or when there is any other inevitable reason necessitating an adjustment of the number of shares, the number of shares shall be adjusted within a reasonable scope upon consideration of the conditions and other matters pertaining to the merger, company split, share exchange, share transfer or share delivery.

  1. Number of subscription rights to shares to be issued 115,000 units
    The number of shares to be issued upon exercise of each subscription right to shares ("Number of Granted Shares") shall be 1 shares of common stock of the Company. In the case the number of shares is adjusted as provided in (1) above, the Number of Granted Shares shall also be adjusted.
  2. Cash payment in consideration of subscription rights to shares
    No cash payment is required in consideration of subscription rights to shares.
  3. Value of the assets to be contributed upon exercise of subscription rights to shares The amount of the assets to be contributed upon exercise of subscription rights to shares shall be the amount obtained by multiplying the amount to be paid in for each share to be issued upon exercise of such subscription rights to shares ("Exercise Price") by the number of shares to be issued upon exercise of such subscription rights to shares.
    The Exercise Price shall be the closing price of the common stock of the Company in regular trading on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on the date of grant of subscription rights to shares ("Grant Date").
    In the event that the Company carries out a stock split (including allotment of its common stock without compensation) or a consolidation of its common stock after the Grant Date, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted according to the following formula.
