Proposal No. 3: Issuance of Stock Acquisition Rights as Stock Options
The shareholders are asked to approve entrusting the Board of Directors of the Company with thetask of determining the terms of offering of Stock Acquisition Rights as stock options to Directors(excluding Outside Directors) and Executive Officers of the Company and its consolidated
subsidiaries under the provisions of Articles 236, 238 and 239 of the Companies Act.
We ask the shareholders to approve allotting Stock Acquisition Rights as part of remunerations tothe Company’s Directors based on the provisions of Article 361 of the Companies Act.
We believe that this proposal concerning the Stock Acquisition Rights is appropriate because theStock Acquisition Rights are allotted according to the number and position of Directors and Executive
Officers of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, and the amount of the Stock Acquisition
Rights will be calculated using the Black-Scholes model, a common stock option value calculation
model.
If Proposal No. 2 is approved in its original form, the number of directors subject to the allotmentof Stock Acquisition Rights will be eight (8).
I. Reason for the need to issue Stock Acquisition Rights under especially favorable conditions
The Company intends to implement a stock option system to motivate Directors and Executive
Officers and raise their morale to improve the Company’s business performance and increase
corporate value.
II. Main points of the issuance of Stock Acquisition Rights
1. Maximum number of Stock Acquisition Rights
The maximum number shall be 600 units, of which the maximum number of units allotted toDirectors shall be 120.
2. Payment of cash in exchange for Stock Acquisition Rights
No payment of cash in exchange for Stock Acquisition Rights shall be required (gratis).
3. Details of the Stock Acquisition Rights(1) Class and number of shares to be issued upon exercise of Stock Acquisition Rights
The class of shares to be issued upon exercise of Stock Acquisition Rights shall be common
stock of the Company, and the number of shares per unit of the stock options issued uponexercise of Stock Acquisition Rights (the “Number of Shares to be Allotted”) shall be 100. The
maximum total number of shares for the Stock Acquisition Rights shall be 60,000 of theCompany’s common stock. In case the Number of Shares to be Allotted are adjusted as
explained in (2) below, the maximum number of shares for Stock Acquisition Rights shall beobtained by multiplying the Number of Shares to be Allotted after adjustment by the maximum
number of Stock Acquisition Rights indicated in 1, above.
(2) Adjustment of the Number of Shares to be AllottedIf the Company performs a stock split (including a gratis allotment) or stock consolidation
after the date of resolution made by the General Meeting of Shareholders, the Number ofShares to be Allotted shall be adjusted in accordance with the following formula, and fractionalamounts less than one share resulting from the adjustment shall be truncated.
Number of Shares to be
Allotted after adjustment＝Number of Shares to be
Allotted before adjustment

×

Stock split orconsolidation ratio(3) Value and calculation method of assets invested upon exercise of Stock Acquisition Rights
The value of assets invested upon the exercise of each Stock Acquisition Right shall beobtained by multiplying the amount to be paid per share allotted (by transferring treasurystock) upon the exercise of each Stock Acquisition Right (hereinafter the “exercise price”) by
the Number of Shares to be Allotted.
The exercise price shall be equal to the average closing price of the Company’s shares on theTokyo Stock Exchange (the “closing price”) in regular trading on each day (excluding days on
which no trading takes place) of the month preceding the month in which the allotment datefalls, with fractional amounts less than one yen being rounded up to the nearest yen. If theresulting amount is below the closing price on the allotment date, the closing price on that dayis adopted as the exercise price.

(4) Adjustment of exercise priceIf the Company performs a stock split or consolidation after the allotment date, the exercise
price shall be adjusted in accordance with the following formula, and fractional amounts lessthan one yen resulting from the adjustment shall be rounded up to the nearest yen.

Stock split or consolidation ratioIn addition, in the event of any new share issuance or treasury stock disposal below the market
price (excluding cases associated with the exercise of Stock Acquisition Rights), the exercise
price shall be adjusted in accordance with the following formula, and fractional amounts lessthan one yen resulting from the adjustment shall be rounded up to the nearest yen.
Number of newly issued shares × Amount
Number ofto be paid per share
shares already ＋
Exercise
Exercise priceissued
Share price before new issuance＝ price before ×after adjustment
Number of shares already issued ＋ Number of newly

issued shares
In the above formula, “Number of shares already issued” shall be equal to the total number of
the Company’s shares issued and outstanding, minus the total number of shares of treasury
stock owned by the Company. In the case of disposal of treasury stock, “Number of newly
issued shares” shall be read as “Number of shares of treasury stock to be disposed.”
Furthermore, in the event of certain circumstances in which the exercise price needs to be
adjusted such as a merger, a corporate split or capital reduction after the allotment date, theexercise price may be adjusted within reasonable bounds.
4. Exercise period of Stock Acquisition Rights
Determined by resolution of the Board of Directors within the period commencing 10 years
after the allotment date.
5. Conditions for exercise of Stock Acquisition Rights
The exercise of a portion of each stock acquisition right shall not be allowed. Other conditions
shall be as stipulated in the stock acquisition right allotment agreement between the Company
and the rights holder based on the resolution of the General Meeting of Shareholders and thesubsequent meetings of the Board of Directors.
6. Reason and condition of acquisition of Stock Acquisition Rights(1) In case a rights holder of Stock Acquisition Rights becomes no longer eligible toexercise the Stock Acquisition Rights or the holder relinquishes all or part of such rights,
the Company may acquire the Stock Acquisition Rights without compensation.
(2) If a proposal for the approval of a merger agreement under which the Company ceases
to exist, a proposal for the approval of a corporate split agreement or a plan under which
the Company is split, a proposal for the approval of a share exchange agreement underwhich the Company becomes a wholly owned subsidiary or a proposal for the approvalof a share-transfer plan is approved at the General Meeting of Shareholders (or at theBoard of Directors if approval at the General Meeting of Shareholders is unnecessary),
the Company may acquire the Stock Acquisition Rights without compensation.
7. Restrictions on acquisition of Stock Acquisition Rights by transfer
The acquisition of Stock Acquisition Rights by transfer shall require the approval of the Boardof Directors.
