Notice Concerning Granting Stock Acquisition Rights for the Purpose of Stock Options

At a meeting held on July 15, 2010 (the “Meeting”), the Board of Directors of Toyota Motor Corporation (“TMC”) determined the details of the terms and conditions of the issuance of rights to subscribe for or purchase shares of TMC (“Stock Acquisition Rights”) for the purpose of granting stock options, pursuant to Article 236, Article 238 and Article 239 of the Corporation Act and the resolution at the 106th Ordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting of TMC (the “106th Shareholders’ Meeting”), and we hereby inform you as follows:

The amount of assets to be paid upon the exercise of Stock Acquisition Rights and other undetermined matters are to be decided by the allotment date of the Stock Acquisition Rights (“Allotment Date”) (which is currently scheduled on August 2, 2010).

1. Reason for Issuance of Stock Acquisition Rights without Consideration

TMC will issue Stock Acquisition Rights to Directors, Managing Officers and employees, etc. of TMC and its affiliates in order to enhance enthusiasm and raise morale for improving business performance and thereby contribute to strengthening TMC’s international competitiveness.

2. Type and Number of Shares to be Issued or Transferred upon Exercise of Stock Acquisition Rights

3,435,000 shares of common stock of TMC

Provided, however, that if the number of shares to be issued or transferred upon exercise of each Stock Acquisition Right is adjusted in accordance with 3. below, such number of shares to be issued or transferred shall be adjusted to the number obtained by multiplying the number of shares after adjustment by the total number of Stock Acquisition Rights to be issued.

3. Total Number of Stock Acquisition Rights

34,350

The number of shares for purposes of Stock Acquisition Right (the “Number of Shares Granted”) shall be 100; provided, however, that if TMC splits its shares (including the allotment of common stock to shareholders without consideration; hereinafter the same shall apply) or consolidates its shares after the Allotment Date, the number of shares to be issued or transferred upon exercise of each Stock Acquisition Right shall be adjusted according to the following formula.

Number of shares after
adjustment
=
Number of shares
before adjustment
x
Ratio of split
(or consolidation)

The adjustment above shall be made only to the unexercised rights remaining at the relevant time.  If any fraction less than one (1) share arises as a result of such adjustment, such fraction shall be discarded.

The number of Stock Acquisition Rights to be allotted to each grantee (the “Number of Stock Acquisition Rights to be Allotted”) shall be applicable in cases where the relevant grantee has submitted an application for the subscription of Stock Acquisition Rights in the Number of Stock Acquisition Rights to be Allotted, or in a number exceeding such number, pursuant to Article 242, Paragraph 2 of the Corporation Act, and if the number of Stock Acquisition Rights the relevant grantee applies for is less than the Number of Stock Acquisition Rights to be Allotted, the allotted number shall be the number applied for by such grantee.

5. Amount Paid for Issuance of Stock Acquisition Rights

No monetary payment shall be required for the Stock Acquisition Rights issued in accordance with the resolution of the Meeting.

6. Amount of Assets to be Paid upon Exercise of Stock Acquisition Rights

The amount of assets to be paid upon exercise of each Stock Acquisition Right shall be the amount obtained by multiplying the amount to be paid per share issued or transferred upon exercise of Stock Acquisition Rights (the “Exercise Price”) by the Number of Shares Granted.  The Exercise Price shall be as follows:

The amount obtained by multiplying the closing price of TMC’s common stock in regular trading on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on the Allotment Date (if there is no transaction made on that day, then the closing price of the latest date prior to the Allotment Date on which a transaction was made) by 1.025, and any fraction less than one (1) yen arising therefrom shall be rounded up to the nearest one (1) yen.

In addition, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted as follows:

(i) If TMC splits or consolidates its shares after the Allotment Date, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted according to the following formula, and any fraction less than one (1) yen arising therefrom shall be rounded up to the nearest one (1) yen.

Exercise Price after
adjustment
=
Exercise Price
before adjustment
x
1
Ratio of split
(or consolidation)

(ii) If TMC issues common stock or sells treasury stock of the common stock at a price below the market price after the Allotment Date, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted according to the following formula, and any fraction less than one (1) yen arising therefrom shall be rounded up to the nearest one (1) yen.  No adjustment shall be made, however, in the event that Stock Acquisition Rights are exercised.

(iii) In the event that other class of stock is allotted without consideration to the holders of common stock, shares of another company are delivered to the holders of common stock of TMC as dividends, or in any other similar instance where an adjustment of the Exercise Price is required, in each case after the Allotment Date, an appropriate adjustment shall be made to the extent reasonable.

11. Restriction on Transfer of Stock Acquisition Rights

Transfer of Stock Acquisition Rights shall be subject to approval of the Board of Directors.
