99% Adopted(Note) Requirements for adoption of each item are as follows:
The requirement for adoption of Item 1 is a majority of the affirmative votes of theshareholders who are entitled to exercise their voting rights and present at the meeting.
The requirement for adoption of Item 2 is two third or more of the affirmative votes of theshareholders who are entitled to exercise their voting rights and present at the meeting where
the shareholders holding one third or more of the total voting rights of the shareholders who areentitled to exercise their voting rights are present.
The requirement for adoption of Item 3 and Item 4 is a majority of the affirmative votes of theshareholders who are entitled to exercise their voting rights and present at the meeting where
the shareholders holding one third or more of the total voting rights of the shareholders who areentitled to exercise their voting rights are present.
(4) Reason why a portion of the number of voting rights of the shareholders present at the meeting
was not included in the calculation
Since the results of the counting of the number of voting rights of shareholders whose affirmative
votes or negative votes on each item were confirmed to have been exercised prior to the date of themeeting or at the meeting on each item met the requirements for adoption, and the resolutions havebeen legally adopted pursuant to the Companies Act, the number of other voting rights was notincluded in the calculation.
