(3)Conversion Price

 

The price per share used to calculate the number of the Issuer's common shares to be delivered upon the exercise of the Share Options (hereinafter referred to as the "Conversion Price") shall be JPY 343, which is the amount obtained by converting into Japanese Yen the weighted average of the closing prices of the Issuer's American Depositary Shares representing one share of the Issuer's common shares on the NASDAQ Stock Market during the one-month period preceding November 26, 2025 (the day before the date of the resolution of the Board of Directors concerning the issuance of the Bonds with the Share Options), based on the TTM rate (Telegraphic Transfer Middle rate) for one US Dollar to Japanese Yen quoted by Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation as of November 26, 2025. Any fraction less than JPY 1 resulting from the calculation shall be rounded up to the nearest whole yen.

 

In the event the Issuer conducts a share split or reverse share split of its common shares, the conversion price shall be adjusted in accordance with the following formula, provided, however, that such adjustment shall be made to the conversion price of Share Options that have not been exercised at the time of such adjustment, and any fraction of less than one yen resulting from such adjustment shall be rounded down.

Stated Capital and Capital Reserve to be Increased in the Event Shares are Issued by Exercise of Share Options
   
  The amount of stated capital to be increased in the event shares are issued by exercise of the Share Options shall be one-half of the maximum amount of increase in stated capital calculated in accordance with Article 17(1) of the Company Accounting Rules, and any fraction of less than one yen resulting from such calculation shall be rounded up. In addition, the amount of capital reserve to be increased in the event shares are issued by exercise of the Share Options shall be the amount obtained by subtracting the amount of stated capital to be increased from the said maximum amount of increase in stated capital.

 

(8)Reason for not Requiring Payment of Money in Exchange for Share Options and Rationale of Conversion Price

 

The Bonds and Share Options are closely related: the Share Options are attached to the CBs and may not be transferred severally from the Bonds, and the Bonds in connection with such Share Options will be contributed in the case of exercise of the Share Options, and the exercisable period of the Share Options will end and be extinguished accordingly in the case of early repayment. Taking into account such relationship, and considering economic value in theory inherent in the Share Options based on the assumption of the Conversion Price determined as described in Article 18, Item (3) hereof, and economic value in practice to be obtained by the Issuer under the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the agreement to be entered into with the CB Holder, the interest rate, Early repayment and issue price of the Bonds and other issuance conditions, the Issuer has concluded that no cash payment is required in exchange for the Share Options.
