   1. Taxes on shares purchased under the Tender Offer

      • Please make any decisions after consulting a tax advisor or other professional about specific tax questions.

   1. For Tendering Shareholders who are residents, or non-residents with a permanent establishment in Japan
      When the amount of money received for accepting the Tender Offer exceeds the amount of the portion of the Company's capital (or for a consolidated corporation, its consolidated individual stated capital) attributable to the shares that are the basis for that payment (when the per-share purchase amount is greater than the per-share amount of capital), the amount in excess will be deemed a dividend and taxed accordingly. Furthermore, the amount derived after deducting the amount deemed to be a dividend from the amount received for accepting the Tender Offer will be deemed income from the transfer of shares. When there is no amount deemed to be a dividend (when the per-share purchase amount is less than the per-share amount of capital) the entire amount received will be transfer income.
      The amount deemed to be a dividend is subject to a withholding of 20.315% (15.315% for income tax and special income tax for reconstruction and 5% for resident tax) (There will be no special withholding of the 5% resident tax for non-residents with a permanent establishment in Japan). However, if the shareholder is considered a principal shareholder as defined in Order for Enforcement of the Act on Special Measures Concerning Taxation, the withholding is 20.42% (income tax and special income tax for reconstruction only). As a general rule, the amount after deducting the cost of acquiring the shares from the transfer income is subject to declared separate income taxes.
   2. For Tendering Shareholders who are non-residents without a permanent establishment in Japan
      The amount deemed to be a dividend will be subject to withholding of 15.315% (income tax and special income tax for reconstruction only). If the shareholder is considered a principal shareholder, the withholding will be 20.42% (income tax and special income tax for reconstruction only). As a general rule, income arising from the transfer will not be subject to taxation.
   3. For corporate shareholders
      When the amount of money received for accepting the Tender Offer exceeds the amount of the portion of the Company's capital (or for a consolidated corporation, its consolidated individual stated capital) attributable to the shares that are the basis for that payment, the amount of this excess will be deemed a dividend. As a general rule, the portion deemed to be a dividend is subject to withholding of 15.315% (income tax and special income tax for reconstruction only).

Sample of List Table

Share class	Anticipated number of shares to be purchased	Number of excess shares to be purchased	Number of shares tendered	Number of shares to be repurchased
Common shares	257,953,468 shares	0 shares	259,160,277 shares	257,953,469 shares

Calculation method where proportional allocation is used
Since the number of tendered shares exceeded the anticipated number of shares to be purchased (257,953,468 shares), as described in in the public notice for the commencement of the Tender Offer and the tender offer registration statement, the Company will not acquire all or part of such excess shares, and shall conduct settlement through delivery or other such means of settlement in respect of a Tender Offer for shares through the pro rata method as provided in Article 27-13-5 of the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act (Act No.25 of 1948, as amended; hereinafter refered to as the "Act") as applied mutatis mutandis pursuant to Article 27-22-2-2 of the Act and Article 21 of the Cabinet Office Ordinance Concerning the Disclosure of a Tender Offer for Listed Shares by the Issuer. (Ministry of Finance Ordiance No. 95 of 1994, as amended) (If the respective number of tendered shares includes shares less than one (1) unit (100 shares), the maximum number of shares to be purchased, which is calculated using the pro rata method, shall be the respective number of tendered shares).
Since the total number of the shares acquired from each Tendering Shareholder calculated by rounding off the number of shares that are less than one unit resulting from a calculation through the pro rata method did not reach the anticipated number of shares to be purchased, until the total number of the shares acquired becomes equal to or more than the anticipated number of shares to be purchased, the Company will acquire the tendered shares by one unit per each Tendering Shareholder (if the acquisition of one additional unit would result in excess of the number of tendered shares, up to the number of tendered shares) in descending order, beginning with the Tendering Shareholders with the largest rounded-down portion.
