EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amendment No. 3 (the “Amendment”) to the Annual Report on Form 20-F of Toyota Motor Corporation for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 23, 2017 (the “Original Filing”), as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed with the SEC on October 23, 2017 (the “Amendment No. 1 Filing”) and by Amendment No. 2 filed with the SEC on November 4, 2021 (the “Amendment No. 2 Filing”), is filed to disclose pursuant to Section 219 of the Iran Threat Reduction and Syria Human Rights Act of 2012 additional information that Toyota Motor Corporation became aware of after the Amendment No. 2 Filing under “Item 4.B — Business Overview — Governmental Regulation, Environmental and Safety Standards — Disclosure of Iranian Activities under Section 13(r) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.” Other than this additional compliance disclosure, no part of the Original Filing is amended hereby, and this Amendment does not reflect events that have occurred after the Original Filing date.

Pursuant to Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, this Form 20-F/A also contains new certifications pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Because this Form 20-F/A does not contain or amend any disclosure with respect to Items 307 and 308 of Regulation S-K, paragraphs 4 and 5 of the certifications have been omitted.

As used herein, the term “Toyota” refers to Toyota Motor Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries as a group, unless the context otherwise indicates.

ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY

4.B BUSINESS OVERVIEW

Governmental Regulation, Environmental and Safety Standards

Disclosure of Iranian Activities under Section 13(r) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

Section 219 of the Iran Threat Reduction and Syria Human Rights Act of 2012 added Section 13(r) to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Section 13(r) requires an issuer to disclose in its annual or quarterly reports, as applicable, whether it or any of its affiliates knowingly engaged in certain activities, transactions or dealings relating to Iran or with designated natural persons or entities involved in terrorism or the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. Pursuant to Section 13(r), Toyota is disclosing the following information.

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017:

 

•

Toyota Kirloskar Motor Private Limited (“TKM”), a majority-owned subsidiary of Toyota, sold one Toyota vehicle to the Iranian embassy in India.

 

•

TOYOTA Mobility Tokyo Inc. (“TMT,” formerly known as Tokyo Toyopet Motor Sales Co., Ltd.), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Toyota, performed maintenance services on Toyota vehicles owned by the Iranian embassy in Japan.

 

•

Toyota Tokyo Rental & Leasing Co., Ltd. (“TTRL”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Toyota, leased twelve vehicles to the Iranian embassy in Japan.

The above activities contributed in aggregate approximately ¥3 million in gross revenues and an insignificant amount of net profit to Toyota. Toyota believes that none of the above transactions subject it or its affiliates to U.S. sanctions. As of the date of the Amendment No. 1 Filing, TKM intended to cease conducting its activity described above. As of the date of the Amendment No. 2 Filing, TMT intended to cease conducting its activities described above, except that it intended to provide to the Iranian embassy necessary repair services in case of a recall or other safety measures recalls and other safety measures in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. As of the date of this Amendment, Toyota Mobility Service Co., Ltd., which is the successor entity to TTRL and a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Toyota, intends to cease conducting its activities described above.
