Notes:

 

1.

Requirements for adoption of resolutions are as follows:

The requirement for adoption of resolution relating to Proposals is a majority of votes of the shareholders entitled to exercise voting rights who are present at the Meeting.

 

2.

“Ratio of Votes FOR” is expressed in percentage of a fraction, of which the denominator is the number of voting rights held by shareholders present or represented at the Meeting (i.e., the sum total of the number of voting rights exercised by shareholders by the day immediately preceding the Meeting date and the number of voting rights exercised at the Meeting by attending shareholders), and the numerator is the number of voting rights with confirmed votes “FOR” with respect to each Proposal.

 

4)

Reason for not Including Some Votes of Shareholders Present at the Meeting:

Because the said number of voting rights with confirmed votes “For,” out of the total number of voting rights exercised at the Meeting, was sufficient to satisfy the requirements for adoption of all Proposals.
