(Note)

"Ownership ratio of voting rights" means the number of voting rights (384,745

voting rights) pertaining to the number of shares (38,474,529 shares), which is

obtained by deducting the number of treasury shares (1,951,471 shares) held by the Company as of June 30, 2023, from the total number of issued shares of the Company as of June 30, 2023, stated in the Company's Financial Results (40,426,000 shares), was used as the denominator. In addition, any fraction is rounded to the second decimal place.

  1. Whether There is Any Change in an Unlisted Parent Company, etc. which is Subject to Disclosure
    As a result of the Tender Offer, the Tender Offeror and Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation will newly become parent companies of the Company, however, because the Tender Offeror is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation, and the parent company that will have the most material impact on the Company will be Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation, the Tender Offeror will not fall under an unlisted parent company, etc. subject to disclosure.
  2. Outlook Going Forward
    Although the Tender Offeror will become the parent company and the largest shareholder as a major shareholder of the Company upon the completion of the Tender Offer, as stated in the "Declaration of Opinion on the Tender Offer for the Company Shares by NTT DOCOMO, INC. and Execution of the Capital and Business Alliance Agreement with NTT DOCOMO, INC." released by the Company on September 6, 2023, the Company Shares are expected to remain listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, Inc. even after the successful completion of the Tender Offer.
