Notes:

  • 1. The syndicate of lenders consists of Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, MUFG Bank, Ltd., Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Bank, Limited, The Norinchukin Bank and Aozora Bank, Ltd.

  • 2. The syndicate of lenders consists of Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, MUFG Bank, Ltd., Mizuho Bank, Ltd., Development Bank of Japan Inc. and Resona Bank, Limited.

  • 3. The interest rate does not include financing-related costs to be paid to the financial institutions.

  • 4. The base interest rate refers to the Japanese yen Tokyo Interbank Offered Rate ("TIBOR") for three-month deposits announced by the JBA TIBOR Association (General Incorporated Association) two business days before the interest payment date for the immediately preceding interest calculation period. The base interest rate will be revised on each interest payment date. However, if there is no corresponding TIBOR to the interest calculation period of such deposits, the base interest rate defined in the loan agreements will be applied according to the terms and conditions of the loan agreements. Please refer to the JBA TIBOR Association's website(https://www.jbatibor.or.jp/english/)for information about changes in the JBA Japanese yen TIBOR.

  • 5. The first interest payment date is May 31, 2022, and thereafter the interest payment date will be the last day of February, May, August and November until and including the repayment date. An interest payment date that falls on a non-business day will be moved to the following business day or to the preceding business day if the following business day carries over to the next month.

  • 6. The repayment date will be the following business day if the date falls on a non-business day, unless such day falls within the following month, in which case the repayment date will be the preceding business day.

  • 7. We may repay the Borrowings either in whole or in part prior to the repayment date if certain requirements, including our advance written notice, are met.

II.

Rationale:

The Borrowings will be made for the refinancing of existing long-term borrowing (total borrowing amount: 10.0 billion yen) with the maturity date of April 28, 2022 (Note).
