Various Procedures Related to Stock Administration

Listed companies are required to have a stock transfer agent (shareholder registry administrator) that handles stock-related matters such as share transfer and requests for the purchase of odd-lot shares. The administrator of the Company's shareholder registry is Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Bank, Limited. Please contact the following office for inquiries or to send postal mail such as change notifications. Please call the toll-free number below to request a stock-related procedure form. For shareholders who did not use "Hofuri" (Japan Securities Depository Center, Inc.) before the dematerialization of share certificates (shareholders who did not open an account at a securities company), an account (called a special account) has been opened at Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking Corporation. However, the account management institution for the special account was changed to Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Bank, Limited on June 19, 2017. Shareholders who wish to request the purchase or additional purchase of shares less than one unit or transfer to an account opened at a securities company for shares recorded in the special account after that date are requested to contact Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Bank, Limited.
