Notes:

1. Requirements for adoption of resolutions are as follows:

 

•

The requirement for adoption of resolution relating to Resolution No. 1 is a majority of votes of the shareholders entitled to exercise voting rights who are present at the meeting.

 

•

The requirement for adoption of resolution relating to Resolution No. 2 is a majority of votes of shareholders entitled to exercise voting rights who are present at the meeting, at which shareholders holding one-third or more of the voting rights of all shareholders entitled to exercise voting rights must be present.

2. “Ratio of vote FOR” is a fraction, of which the denominator is the number of voting rights held by shareholders present or represented at the meeting (i.e., the total of the number of voting rights exercised by shareholders by the day immediately preceding the meeting and the number of voting rights exercised at the meeting by attending shareholders), and the numerator is the number of voting rights from among those included in the denominator that are confirmed to have been cast “FOR” each of the Resolutions.

 

4)

Reason for not including some votes of shareholders who were present at the meeting:

The reason is that the number of voting rights exercised at the meeting and confirmed to have been cast “FOR” each of the Resolutions, out of the aggregate number of voting rights exercised at the meeting, was sufficient to satisfy the requirements for adoption of all Resolutions.
