We inform here that we received 44.6 billion yen from the Nuclear Damage Compensation and Decommissioning Facilitation Corporation (hereinafter referred to as NDF) in accordance with the New Comprehensive Special Business Plan, the revision of the Special Business Plan, which was approved on August 8, 2014.

This financial support was provided in response to the 38th request we made in order to cover the compensation payouts due by the end of April 2015, as the amount of the payouts to be paid by that time had been estimated to exceed the sum of the compensation we had received in accordance with the "Act on Contract for Indemnification of Nuclear Damage Compensation" (188.9 billion yen) and the financial support the NDF had provided( 4.6867 trillion yen ).

With the financial support from the NDF, we are determined to continue to pay the compensation with courtesy and compassion to all of those who have been afflicted by the nuclear damage.
