The Company hereby announces that all of the proposals were approved in their original form as follows.

The Company stated in the "Announcement Concerning Opinion on Tender Offer by CK Holdings Co., Ltd." dated November 22, 2016, regarding the tender offer (the "Tender Offer") by CK Holdings Co., Ltd. (the "Offeror") targeting the common stock of the Company, that, in light of the proposal from the Offeror, and conditional on the completion of the Tender Offer, the Company planned to make a distribution of surplus (the "Special Dividend"). All of the proposals approved at this extraordinary general shareholders' meeting of the Company are related to the Special Dividend.

    forth in Article 459, Paragraph 1, Item 4 of the Companies Act by a resolution of the Board of Directors.

    Agenda No. 2: Reduction of Amount of Capital

    This item was approved in its original form. Of the total amount of capital,

    ¥41,456,240,645, there will be a reduction of ¥39,856,240,645, and the new amount of capital will be ¥1,600,000,000. The Company will transfer the entirety of the reduced amount of capital to other capital surplus. The effective date of reduction in the amount of capital is planned to be March 29, 2017.

    Agenda No. 3 Reduction of Amounts of Capital Reserve and Retained Earnings Reserve

    This item was approved in its original form. The Company will reduce the total amount of capital reserve, ¥59,638,172,926, and transfer the entirety of the reduced amount of capital reserve to other capital surplus. The amount of capital reserve after reduction will be ¥0. In addition, of the total amount of retained earnings reserve,

    ¥4,438,219,046, the Company will reduce ¥4,038,219,046, and transfer the entirety of the reduced amount of retained earnings reserve to retained earnings brought forward. The amount of retained earnings reserve after reduction will be ¥400,000,000. The effective date of reduction in the amounts of capital reserve and retained earnings reserve is planned to be March 29, 2017.

  2. Future Plans

The board of directors of the Company is to adopt a resolution regarding the Special Dividend, in accordance with the provision of the Articles of Incorporation after the partial amendment described in Agenda No. 1 in "1. Items to be Resolved". The date of commencement of the Tender Offer has not been decided as of today. However, if the Tender Offer is commenced in late February 2017 as planned, the board of directors of the Company is to adopt a resolution to set the record date of the Special Dividend (planned to be the business day immediately preceding the expected date of commencement of the Tender Offer) and a resolution to determine the dividend amount and the effective date for the Special Dividend.

The Special Dividend will be conditional on the completion of the Tender Offer. Therefore, if the Tender Offer is not completed, the Special Dividend would not be made. In this case, the reductions of capital and reserve, described in Agenda No. 2 and Agenda No. 3, would also not take effect.
