Tokio Marine & Nichido Life Insurance Co., Ltd.

  • 1. Introduction of the New System

  • (1) The Company will introduce the New System for the Eligible Directors, etc. so that the Eligible Directors, etc. will share with the Company's shareholders the benefits and risks arising from share price fluctuations. The New System is also designed to better incentivize the Eligible Directors, etc. to improve the Group's corporate value over the medium- to long-term.

  • (2) The introduction of the New System is subject to approval of the respective general meetings of shareholders of the Company and Target Subsidiaries.

  • (3) As a new stock-based compensation system, the Company will adopt a structure called Board Incentive Plan Trust (hereinafter, the "BIP Trust"). The BIP Trust is an incentive plan for officers and directors. Its design is based on the Performance Share Plan and Restricted Stock Plan adopted in the United States. The Company will deliver and pay to the Eligible Directors, etc. after their resignation (or at the time of their death if the relevant Eligible Director, etc. has died; the same shall apply hereinafter) the Company's shares acquired by the BIP Trust and money in the amount equivalent to the conversion value of the Company's shares (hereinafter, collectively referred to as the "Company Shares, etc.") (the acts of such delivery and payment shall be hereinafter referred to as "Delivery," "Deliver," or "Delivered").

2. Transition to the New System from Stock Options Provided as Stock-based Compensation

On the condition that the general meetings of shareholders of the Company and Target Subsidiaries approve a proposal to introduce the New System, the Company will stop granting new share subscription rights as stock options granted as a form of stock-based compensation. If any Eligible Director, etc. currently holds any share subscription rights which are stock options that have been granted to him or her as a form of stock-based compensation and have not yet been exercised, the said Eligible Director, etc. will waive such rights. This waiver is subject to certain conditions including the launch of the New System. As a transition measure, the Company will grant to the said Eligible Director, etc. the number of points corresponding to the number of shares that she or he could have acquired by exercising the share subscription rights she or he has waived. If any Eligible Director, etc. is to lose his or her status as Directors, etc. at the close of the general meeting of shareholders of the Company or the relevant Target Subsidiary, the said Eligible Director, etc. may exercise the share subscription rights that have already been granted to him or her as stock options after the day on which he or she loses such status. In this case, the Company will not grant any point to the said Eligible Director, etc. under the New System.
