therefore, the class of Share Certificates, Etc. to be purchased includes ADSs. However, as the ADSs are securities issued in the United States, the Offeror has found it in practice to be difficult for the Offeror residing in Japan to acquire the ADSs through the Tender Offer, which was conducted outside of the United States, because there were no financial instruments business operators, etc. that were capable of handling the ADSs as tender offer agent. Therefore, the Offeror accepted only tenders of shares of the Target Stock and did not accept any tender of the ADSs in the Tender Offer, but the Offeror accepted tenders of shares of the Target Stock represented by theADSs.
