made in the period between July 29, 2022 which is the day following the final day of the tender offer period the settlement commencement date, and August 28, 2022, because extension of the period of the Tender Offer automatically defers the aforementioned payment date.

  1. Assistance to enable the Target Company to turn DeSC Healthcare, Inc. into its subsidiary
    DeSC Healthcare, Inc. (hereinafter "DeSC") was established on the basis of a joint venture agreement between the Tender Offeror and Sumitomo Corporation (hereinafter "Sumitomo") in February 2015. As of today, the Tender Offeror holds 95% of DeSC's issued shares (hereinafter "DeSC Shares"), and Sumitomo holds the remaining 5%. The Tender Offeror is scheduled to transfer all of its DeSC Shares (95% of issued DeSC Shares) to the Target Company for 3,400,008,276 yen, subject to the conversion of the Target Company into the Tender Offeror's consolidated subsidiary through the Tender Offer and the Third-Party Allotment. The transfer is scheduled to occur on October 1, 2022. After October 1, 2022 Sumitomo is expected to continue to hold its DeSC Shares.
    DeSC and the Target Company concluded a business alliance agreement on April 2, 2020 to support health promotion for people and initiatives to rationalize national medical costs in Japan. As DeSC and the Target Company enhanced their alliance, they claimed that it would be possible to integrate the Target Company and DeSC databases, create a database of the insured throughout Japan that covers health insurance societies through local governments, and accelerate initiatives in the data use business, which is in the public interest. For this reason, as a part of the Transactions DeSC is planned to be converted into subsidiary of the Target Company (hereinafter the "DeSC Subsidiary Conversion"). The implementation of the Third-Party Allotment in addition to the Tender Offer was decided due to the fact that the Target Company was in need of funds for the DeSC Subsidiary Conversion. It was reported that the intended use of the funds raised through the Third-Party Allotment would be as the purchase funds required to acquire all DeSC Shares held by the Tender Offeror (95% of issued DeSC Shares).
    The upper limit and lower limit of the number of shares to be purchased in the Tender Offer shall be 3,148,600 shares, which has been set to ensure that 1,370,100 shares held by the Tender Offeror before the Transactions (ownership ratio after reflecting the potentially dilutive shares after capital increase at 10.69%) added to the number of shares to be purchased through the Tender Offer of 3,148,100 (ownership ratio after reflecting the potentially dilutive shares after capital increase at 24.56%) as well as the Target Company Shares to be acquired by the Tender Offeror through Third- Party Allotment of 2,016,600 shares (ownership ratio after reflecting the potentially dilutive shares after capital increase at 15.73%) should amount to 6,535,300 shares (or 50.97% in terms of ownership ratio after reflecting the potentially dilutive shares after capital increase).
    Therefore, if the total number of tendered share certificates, etc. for the Tender Offer (referring to the share certificates, etc. for which shareholders accepted the Tender Offer; hereinafter the same) falls short of the lower limit of the scheduled number of shares to be purchased (3,148,600 shares), none the tendered share certificates, etc. shall be purchased.
