Note 1: Figures for “After issuance of the Investment Corporation Bonds and the Repayment” are based on the assumption that theissuance of the Investment Corporation Bonds and the Repayment are implemented and that there are no other new debt financing,
repayment of the existing borrowings, and issuance and redemption of investment corporation bonds by February 28, 2021, when
the Repayment is planned to be completed. However, besides the issuance of the Investment Corporation Bonds and theRepayment, in the event of new borrowings, repayment of existing loans and issuance and redemption of investment corporation
bonds, status of borrowings and investment corporation bonds as of February 28, 2021 may differ from the above.
Note 2: Short-term borrowings refer to debt financing with a period less than or equal to one year from the drawdown date to the principal
repayment date. However, the borrowings for which the period until the principal repayment date have surpassed one year because
the principal repayment date after one year from the drawdown date is not a business day, and for which the principal repayment
date has been moved to a different business day, are included in short-term borrowings.
Note 3: Long-term borrowings refer to debt financing with a period more than one year from the drawdown date to the principal repayment
