American depositary shares that are registered and issued by JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., which is the depositary bank, in the U.S. and listed on the New York Stock Exchange, each representing the title to one Target Company Share deposited with Mizuho Bank, Ltd., which is the custodian bank of the underlying shares (hereinafter, the "ADSs").

(Note)

Because the Tender Offer aimed to acquire all of the Target Company Share

Certificates and because the Tender Offerors were required to solicit offers to sell

all of the Share Certificates issued by the Target Company pursuant to Article 27-

2, paragraph (5) of the Act and Article 8, paragraph (5), item (iii) of the Order for

Enforcement of the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act of Japan (Cabinet

Order No. 321 of 1965, as amended from time to time, hereinafter, the "Order"),

the Tender Offerors included the ADS in the class of share certificates subject to

the Tender Offer. However, with respect to the ADSs, which are listed securities

in the U.S., it has become clear that it is difficult for the Tender Offerors, which are incorporated in Japan, to acquire the ADSs in the Tender Offer, which would be conducted outside of the U.S., given that there are no financial instruments business operators to act as tender offer agents to acquire the ADSs in the Tender Offer. Therefore, the Tender Offerors accepted only tenders of the Target Company Share Certificates other than the ADSs, and did not accept tenders of the ADSs in the Tender Offer.

(Note 1) The Tender Offerors did not set an upper or lower limit for the number of Share Certificates to be purchased, and the Tender Offerors will purchase all of the Share Certificates tendered in the Tender Offer (hereinafter, the "Tendered Share Certificates").

(Note 2) The Tender Offer did not set an upper limit on the number of shares to be purchased, so the number of shares to be purchased is 88,309,642 shares, the maximum number of the Target Company Shares that the Tender Offerors may acquire through the Tender Offer. Such maximum number (88,309,642 shares) is calculated by adding (i) 241,544,142 shares, all the outstanding shares of the Target Company as of June 30, 2020, as stated in the "Consolidated Financial Results (IFRS) for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2020" filed by the Target Company dated July 29, 2020 (hereinafter, the "Target Company Summary of Financial Results for the Second Quarter"), which includes 2,355,197 shares of the underlying shares of the ADSs (the number of shares in case ADSs are converted into the Target Company Shares) and (ii) the total number of the Target Company Shares to be issued upon exercise of all the Share Options existing as of June 30, 2020 (12,000,000 shares) and the Target Company Shares to be issued upon exercise of all share options attached to the Convertible Bonds (19,529,086 shares), and subtracting from the sum of (i) and (ii) (273,073,228 shares) the following: (iii) the aggregate of the total number of the Target Company Shares owned by NAVER (174,992,000 shares) and the Target Company Shares to be issued upon exercise of share options attached to the Convertible Bonds owned by NAVER (9,764,543 shares), and the number calculated by subtracting the number of treasury shares owned by the Target Company as of June 30, 2020 as stated in the Target Summary of Financial Results for the Second Quarter by the parts owned by J-ESOP of the Target Company as of the same day (7,043 shares).

(Note 3) Shares that comprise less than one unit were also eligible for the Tender Offer. If a right to demand purchase of shares less than one unit was exercised by a shareholder in accordance with the Companies Act (Law No. 86 of 2005, as amended from time to time), the Target Company could purchase the shares in the Target Company during the purchase period of the Tender Offer (hereinafter, the "Tender Offer Period") in accordance with the procedures under the laws and regulations.

(Note 4) There is no plan to acquire the treasury shares owned by the Target Company through the Tender Offer.

(Note 5) The Tender Offerors intend that SoftBank will purchase the number equal to 50% of each type of the Tendered Share Certificates, and NAVER J. Hub will purchase the number equal to the remaining 50% thereof (provided, however, that if there is a fraction in the number of any type of the Tendered Share Certificates that each of the Tender Offerors will purchase, the number of such type of the Tendered Share Certificates that SoftBank will purchase will be rounded up, and the number of such type of the Tendered Share Certificates that NAVER J. Hub will purchase will be rounded down).

(Note 1) The "Number of voting rights represented by Share Certificates held by Special Related Parties before the purchase" and the "Number of voting rights represented by Share Certificates held by Special Related Parties after the purchase" represent the total number of voting rights represented by the Share Certificates owned by each Special Related Party (excluding those Special Related Parties who are, for the purpose of the calculation of ownership ratio in accordance with each item of Article 27-2(1) of the Act, excluded from the definition of "Special Related Parties" pursuant to Article 3(2)(i) of the Ministry of Finance Order).

However, as shares constituting less than one unit, the Share Options, and the Convertible Bonds were also subject to the Tender Offer, the "Ownership ratio of Share Certificates before the purchase" and "Ownership ratio of Share Certificates after the purchase" are calculated on the basis that the denominator is 2,730,661 voting rights, which are represented by 273,066,185 shares, calculated by first subtracting from the aggregate number of issued shares (241,544,142 shares) of the Target Company as of June 30, 2020 stated in the Target Company Summary of Financial Results for the Second Quarter the number calculated by subtracting from the number of treasury shares of the Target Company the ones owned by J-ESOP (7,043 shares), in each case as of June 30, 2020, as stated in the Target Company Summary of Financial Results for the Second Quarter (which shall be 241,537,099 shares), and then adding the number of the Target Company Shares to be issued by the Share Options (109,360 units) as of June 30, 2020 (12,000,000 shares) and the number of Target Company Shares to be issued by the share options (14,632 units) attached to the Convertible Bonds (19,529,086 shares) as of June 30, 2020.

(Note 3) "Ownership ratio of Share Certificates before the purchase" and "Ownership ratio of Share Certificates after the purchase" have been rounded off to the second decimal place.

However, the settlement of the ADSs tendered in the U.S. Tender Offer will be made in USD. Such settlement of the ADSs in the U.S. Tender Offer in USD will be made by converting JPY 5,380, the Tender Offer Price, into USD based on the spot USD / JPY exchange rate at 10 a.m. on the business day following the expiration of the purchase period of the Japan and U.S. Tender Offers, as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (rounded to the nearest whole cent), and thus each ADS will be settled for USD 51.06 per share. Meanwhile, the settlement of the Target Company Shares in the U.S. Tender Offer will be made in JPY.

4. Policies after the Tender Offer and Future Outlook

With regard to the policies after the Tender Offer, no changes have been made to the details stated in the "Notice Concerning the Commencement of the Joint Tender Offer for Shares of LINE Corporation (Securities Code: 3938)", which was announced by the Tender Offerors on August 3, 2020.

Meanwhile, since the Tender Offerors failed to acquire all of the Target Company Share Certificates through the Japan and U.S. Tender Offers, including the Tender Offer, the Tender Offerors intend to implement a series of procedures, such that NAVER and the Tender Offerors will become the only shareholders of the Target Company.

In addition, the Japan and U.S. Tender Offers, including the Tender Offer, were conducted as part of a series of transactions to realize the business integration of Z Holdings Corporation (Securities Code: 4689, listed on the First Section of TSE; hereinafter, "ZHD"), a consolidated subsidiary of SoftBank, and its subsidiaries and the Target Company and its subsidiaries (hereinafter, the "Business Integration"). For the future schedule for the implementation of the Business Integration, please refer to the "Announcement Regarding Schedule for Implementation of the Business Integration" which was announced by SoftBank, NAVER, ZHD and the Target Company on August 3, 2020.
