Notes: (1) Requirements for adopting each of the resolutions are as follows:

 

  •   First Item: Majority vote of shareholders entitled to exercise their voting rights present at the meeting.

 

  •   Second Item and Third Item: Majority vote of shareholders present at the meeting at which shareholders who hold shares representing in the aggregate one-third (1/3) or more of the total number of voting rights of shareholders who are entitled to exercise their voting rights are present.

 

            (2) “Total number of voting rights exercised” is the sum of the number of voting rights exercised in advance up to and including the day before the Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders plus the number of voting rights of shareholders who attended the meeting.

(5) Reason for not including certain voting rights held by shareholders attending the Ordinary General Meeting in the number of voting rights exercised for approval or disapproval of or abstention from matters resolved:

The sum of the number of voting rights exercised up to and including the day before the meeting and the number of voting rights held by principal shareholders whose votes had been confirmed on the day of the meeting met the approval requirements for all matters to be resolved. Accordingly, the number of voting rights held by shareholders (other than principal shareholders) attending the Ordinary General Meeting and exercised for approval, disapproval or abstention have not been included.
