(Notes) 1. The approval requirement for each proposal is as below:
・ The Proposal No.1 requires approval of the majority of voting rights held by shareholders present.
・ The Proposal No. 2 requires attendance of one-third or more of the voting rights held by shareholders who are entitled to exercise their voting rights and approval of the majority of voting rights of shareholders present.
・ The Proposal No. 3 requires attendance of one-third or more of the voting rights held by shareholders who are entitled to exercise their voting rights and approval of the majority of voting rights of shareholders present.
2. The number of attending voting rights is a total of the number of voting rights exercised in advance by the exercise of voting rights in writing (including exercise via the Internet) and the number of voting rights of shareholders present on that day (the number of voting rights of all shareholders who turned out by the end of the meeting).
3. The number of voting rights related to the declaration of intention of approval, disapproval and abstention, the approval percentages, and the voting outcome include the status of voting rights exercised by shareholders present on that day of the general meeting. The total of approval, disapproval, and abstention votes above do not match the number of voting rights present, as we couldn't confirm the status of the exercise of voting rights of some of the shareholders present.
(5) Reason why we didn't count some of the voting rights of shareholders present at the general meeting of shareholders
Voting rights of shareholders of which approval, disapproval or abstention was not confirmed mentioned in 3. of the Notes above were not counted, because the resolutions had passed in accordance with the Companies Act, satisfying the approval requirements with the number of voting rights exercised in advance by exercising voting rights in writing by the day before the general meeting of shareholders (including exercise via the Internet) and the total number of votes we've confirmed on approval or disapproval of some of the shareholders present on that day.
