 and risk capital management refers to the process of asset management based on considerations of risk exposure and risk appetite for our total assets so that we can maintain an appropriate level of risk capital. As part of our risk capital management, we and our subsidiaries have adopted and maintain various risk planning processes and reflect such risk planning in our business and financial planning. We also maintain a risk limit management system to ensure that risks in our business do not exceed prescribed limits. |

| • |     | risk monitoring — We proactively, preemptively and periodically review risks that may impact our overall operations, including through a multidimensional risk monitoring system.

| • |     | crisis management — We maintain a group-wide risk management system to detect the early warning signals of any crisis and, in the event of a crisis actually happening, to respond on a timely, efficient and flexible basis so as to ensure our survival as a going concern. Each of our subsidiaries maintains crisis planning for four levels of contingencies, namely, “warning,” “alert,” “imminent crisis” and “crisis,” determination of which is made based on quantitative
