<div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits that would reduce the effective tax rate, if
recognized, are ¥6,035 million and ¥4,746 million at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
</div>
<div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Although Canon believes its estimates and assumptions of unrecognized tax benefits are reasonable,
uncertainty regarding the final determination of tax audit settlements and any related litigation
could affect the effective tax rate in the future period. Based on each of the items of which Canon
is aware at December 31, 2010, no significant changes to the unrecognized tax benefits are expected
within the next twelve months.
</div>
<div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Canon recognizes interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in income
taxes. Both interest and penalties accrued at December 31, 2010 and 2009, and interest and
penalties included in income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 are not
material.
</div>
<div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Canon files income tax returns in Japan and various foreign tax jurisdictions. In Japan, Canon is
no longer subject to regular income tax examinations by the tax authority for years before 2006.
While there has been no specific indication by the tax authority that Canon will be subject to a
transfer pricing examination in the near future, the tax authority could conduct a transfer pricing
examination for years after 2003. In other major foreign tax jurisdictions, including the United
States and Netherlands, Canon is no longer subject to income tax examinations by tax authorities
for years before 2004 with few exceptions. The tax authorities are currently conducting income tax
examinations of Canon’s income tax returns for years after 2005 in Japan and for certain years
after 2003 in major foreign tax jurisdictions.
