22,(Note 1)Long-term refers to borrowings due after one year. The same applies hereinafter.

(Note 2)The syndicate of lenders consists of Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, Mizuho Bank, Ltd., Sumitomo Mitsui
Trust Bank, Limited, Aozora Bank, Ltd., Shinsei Bank, Limited, Resona Bank, Limited. and Mizuho Trust & BankingCo., Ltd.

(Note 3)Financing fees and other charges to the lenders are not included.

(Note 4)

The first interest payment date is May 20, 2019 and following interest payment dates are 20th of every month
thereafter and the principal repayment date (maturity date). However, if such date is not a business day, theimmediately following business day, or if such date falls on the next month, the immediately preceding business
day is respectively set as the interest payment date. For borrowings with floating interest rates, the baseinterest rate applicable to the calculation period for interest to be paid on each interest payment date is the one1

month interest rate of the Japanese Yen TIBOR announced by JBA TIBOR Administration at 11 a.m. (Tokyo time,the same applies hereinafter) or at the point of time after 11 a.m. and as close to 11 a.m. as possible on thedate two business days immediately before each interest payment date (two business days before thedrawdown date for the first interest payment date). However, in case the concerned interest rate is notannounced for some reasons, the interest rate (annual rate) determined reasonably by the agent (Sumitomo
Mitsui Banking Corporation) shall be used, or in case the period corresponding to the first interest rate
calculation period or the interest rate calculation period does not exist, base rate corresponding to theconcerned period and calculated based on methods determined in the contracts shall be used. For Japanese Yen
TIBOR announced by the JBA TIBOR Administration which is used as the base interest rate, please check withthe JBA TIBOR Administration website (http://www.jbatibor.or.jp/english/rate/). SAR will consider fixing interest
rate payments by an arrangement such as interest rate swaps for long-term borrowings out of the Debt
Financing.
(Note 5)

If a principal repayment date is not a business day, repayment shall be made on the next business day; however, ifsuch date falls on the next month, repayment shall be made on the immediately preceding business day.

(Note 6)

If certain conditions, such as advance notification in writing by SAR, are met during the period between the dateof borrowing and the maturity date, SAR is eligible to repay the borrowed amounts either in whole or in part prior
to the maturity date.

(Note 7)

Financial covenants, such as stipulating that certain financial figures should be maintained based on assets andliabilities, are expected to be set for the Debt Financing.

2.

Reasons for Debt Financing
The Debt Financing shall be allocated to the repayment of long-term borrowings totaling 7,300 million yen
which will mature on April 20, 2019 (as April 20, 2019 is not a business day, April 22, 2019, the immediately
following business day, will be the actual maturity date) announced in the press release titled “NoticeConcerning Execution of Debt Financing and Establishment of Interest Rate Swaps” dated April 20, 2016 andthe repayment of short-term borrowings totaling 700 million yen which will mature on April 22, 2019
announced in the press release titled “Notice Concerning Debt Financing” dated January 24, 2019. (TheDebt Financing and the concerned repayment of existing borrowings are collectively referred to as the“Refinancing.”)
SAR seeks to improve the soundness of its financial base by extending borrowing periods through theRefinancing and considering fixing of interest-rate payments for the Debt Financing through interest rate
swap agreements, etc.
