  Notes: 
 

  1. Requirements for the approval of each proposal are as follows. 
 

  1) The resolution for Proposal 1 shall be adopted by a simple majority of the voting rights held by the shareholders present and voting at the Meeting (including postal and electronic voting) in a vote of shareholders holding in aggregate one-third (1/3) or more of the total number of voting rights. 
 

  2) The resolution for Proposal 2 shall be adopted by a two-thirds (2/3) majority of the voting rights held by the shareholders present and voting at the Meeting (including postal and electronic voting) in a vote of shareholders holding in aggregate one-third (1/3) or more of the total number of voting rights. 
 

  2. The "Ratio of favorable votes" was calculated by adding the number of voting rights held by the present and voting shareholders at the Meeting as the denominator. 
 

  (4) Reason why a portion of the voting rights held by the shareholders present at the Meeting was not added to the number of voting rights 
 

  Because the required majority approval for each proposal was met by the votes exercised prior to the Meeting, the number of voting rights concerning the indication of "for," "against" or "abstain" as to each proposal of the shareholders present at the Meeting was not tallied.
