If the total number of the Tendered Share Certificates is equal to or greater than the minimum number of shares to be purchased (4,193,200 shares), all of the Tendered Share Certificates will be purchased.

(Note 1) "Number of Voting Rights attached to Share Certificates held by Specially Related Parties before the Purchase" and "Number of Voting Rights attached to Share

Certificates held by Specially Related Parties after the Purchase" indicate the number of voting rights attached to the Share Certificates held by Specially Related Parties (other than those Specially Related Parties that are excluded from the Specially Related Parties pursuant to Article 3, Paragraph 2, Item 1 of the Ordinance in calculating the Share Certificate Shareholding Ratio under the items of Article 27-2, Paragraph 1 of the FIEA).

(Note 2) "Number of Voting Rights attached to Share Certificates held by the Tender Offeror after the Purchase" is the number of voting rights equal to the number of voting rights attached to the Share Certificates to be purchased in the Tender Offer plus the "Number of Voting Rights attached to Share Certificates held by the Tender Offeror before the Purchase."

(Note 3) "Number of Voting Rights of All Shareholders of the Target Company" (as of March 31, 2023)" is the number of voting rights (on the assumption that 1 share unit is 100 shares) of all shareholders as of March 31, 2023, as described in the Annual Securities Report for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, that was submitted by the Target Company on June 15, 2023. However, shares that are less than one share unit are also subject to the Tender Offer, and accordingly, the "Share Certificate Shareholding Ratio before the Purchase" and the "Share Certificate Shareholding Ratio after the Purchase" are calculated using the number of voting rights (62,897) attached to 6,289,785 shares as the denominator. This number (6,289,785 shares) represents the number of issued shares as of June 30, 2023 (6,300,000 shares) listed in the Target First Quarter Results minus the number of treasury shares held by the Target Company as of June 30, 2023 (10,215 shares) as listed in the Target First Quarter Results.

(Note 4) "Share Certificate Shareholding Ratio before the Purchase" and "Share Certificate Shareholding Ratio after the Purchase" are rounded to the nearest hundredth (0.01) percentage point.
