4.

The reason to appoint Mr. Noriyuki Inoue and Mr. Shosuke Mori, respectively, is as follows:(1)

Mr. Noriyuki Inoue: Because he has held the position of representative director of
Daikin Industries, Ltd. for a long time and as vice-chairman of Kansai Economic
Federation, he is expected to express opinions using his abundant experience and fromthe perspective of a business leader.
His term of office from the appointment as Outside Director of the Company to theclose of this General Meeting of Shareholders is ten (10) years.

It is noted that in August 2008, the Japan Fair Trade Commission issued a cease anddesist order to ANA Holdings Inc. (formerly All Nippon Airways Co., Ltd.) (“ANA”),
where Mr. Mori held the position of director, because ANA had breached the Act
against Unjustifiable Premiums and Misleading Representations in respect of its
newspaper advertisement for the introduction of its new service (which was considereda representation by which the quality, standard or any other matter relating to thesubstance of goods or services are shown to be much better than the actual goods orservices offered, whereby customers are unjustly enticed and fair competition isimpeded). With respect to this matter, Mr. Mori proposed renewed preventative
measures at the meeting of the board of directors of ANA, from such perspectives as
respect for customers and the importance of building confidence.
In addition, ANA entered into a plea bargain with the U.S. Department of Justiceregarding an alleged price coordination for air passenger transportation and air cargo in
October 2010. ANA was also ordered to pay surcharge by the Korea Fair Trade
Commission for an alleged violation of the Fair Trade Act of Korea in relation to air
cargo in November 2010. With respect to this matter, Mr. Mori proposed renewed
preventative measures looking to the importance of social responsibility, thestrengthening of the compliance system and other such concerns at the meeting of theboard of directors of ANA.
