Notice Concerning the Issuance of Share Acquisition Rights for Subscription

(Performance-linked Stock Options with Charge)

Robot Home, Inc. (the "Company") hereby announces that the Company resolved at the Board of Directors meeting held on July 16, 2021 to issue share acquisition rights to the Company's Directors and employees in accordance with the provisions of Articles 236, 238 and 240 of the Companies Act, as described below. The share acquisition rights will be issued without the approval of the general meeting of shareholders, as these are issued with charge at the price equivalent to the fair value of these rights, and not particularly advantageous to the individuals to whom they are issued. In addition, the share acquisition rights (defined in paragraph 1 of II. Outline of the Issuance of Share Acquisition Rights) are not remuneration granted to eligible persons and are allotted pursuant to each person's own investment decision.

  1. Purpose and Reason for Solicitation of Share Acquisition Rights

The share acquisition rights are those issued to the Company's Directors and employees with charge for the purpose of further increasing the solidarity of the Company by boosting motivation and morale when aiming to increase the Company's medium to long-term performance and corporate value.

The increase in the total number of shares of common stock of the Company, if all the share acquisition rights are exercised, would be 753,000 shares, which would have a maximum dilution effect of 0.83%. However, the share acquisition rights can only be exercised if the pre-determined target for operating profit for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022 is achieved. Therefore, this is anticipated to strengthen the incentive of the Company's Directors and employees who are eligible for the share acquisition rights to contribute to the Company's long- term growth.

The above target has been set so at to achieve the Medium-term Business Plan formulated on February 13, 2020.

The achievement of such target is considered a matter that would contribute to the increase in the Company's corporate value and shareholder value. Therefore, the issuance of the share acquisition rights is considered a matter that may contribute to the benefits of the Company's existing shareholders and the impact of dilution of shares is considered reasonable.
