Proceeds description

The deal is expected to finance solar PV and wind power generation projects located inJapan. Around 40% of proceeds will be allocated to new loans and 60% for refinancing.

Climate Bonds viewIt’s good to see issuers disclosing the share of proceeds financing new projects versus
refinancing in pre-issuance documents. We encourage other issuers to follow suit toincrease transparency of proceed allocations.
