Changes in the Operation of the 42nd Annual General Meeting of Shareholders

SoftBank Group Corp. (the "Company") hereby gives notice regarding some changes in the operation of the Company's 42nd Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (the "Meeting"). The Company had originally planned to hold the Meeting while implementing various measures

to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus ("COVID-19"), such as limiting the number of shareholders attending the venue (up to 50 shareholders) and having our officers participate in the Meeting remotely. However, in light of the recent COVID-19 situation, the following changes have been made to the way in which we will operate the Meeting.

1. Attending on the day of the Meeting

• The Company had initially planned to limit the number of shareholders who may attend the venue to 50 shareholders, however, in light of the recent COVID-19 situation, we have increased the maximum number of shareholders who may attend the venue to 150 shareholders, while taking measures to prevent the spread of infection among those attending the Meeting.
• Please note, as we previously notified you, that you will need to apply in advance if you wish to attend the venue on the day of the Meeting. Shareholders wishing to attend the Meeting are requested to apply in advance by 5:45 p.m. (JST) on Thursday, June 23, 2022 via the SoftBank Group General Meeting of Shareholders Portal, after confirming the instructions in "1) How to apply to attend on the day of the Meeting" as set out in 4. of "Response to COVID-19 at the 42nd Annual General Meeting of Shareholders" in the enclosed leaflet of the Notice of the 42nd Annual General Meeting of Shareholders. We will close applications when the number of applicants reaches the capacity.
  In addition, if you have previously applied to attend the Meeting remotely via the Internet and wish to make a change to your attendance status to attend the venue, you must change your method of attendance via the SoftBank Group General Meeting of Shareholders Portal by 5:45 p.m. (JST) on Thursday, June 23, 2022.
  Please note that if you have not applied in advance, you will not be admitted to the venue on the day of the Meeting.
• The procedures for exercise of voting rights, questions, and motions will be conducted in the same manner regardless of whether you attend the Meeting at the venue or attend online via the Internet. Specifically, you will be able to exercise voting rights through the SoftBank Group General Meeting of Shareholders Portal by using your own smartphone or tablet device, and will be able to submit questions and motions by text

(up to 200 characters; please note that we do not plan to allow verbal statements). Please be sure to bring your own smartphone or tablet device to the Meeting.

2. Method of Attendance of Officers

• Initially it was planned that all participating officers, including the Chairman, would participate in the Meeting remotely through a web-conferencing system. However, in light of the current COVID-19 situation, officers may participate in the Meeting by attending the venue, while taking measures to prevent the spread of the infection inside the venue.
