Note: Taxes on shares purchased under the tender offer

* Please make any decisions after consulting a tax advisor or other professional about specific tax questions.

(i) Tax treatment for individual shareholders tendering shares under the tender offer

(a) For the Tendering Shareholders who are residents, or non-residents with a permanent establishment in Japan

When the amount of money received for accepting the Tender Offer exceeds the amount of the portion of the Company’s capital (or for a consolidated corporation, its consolidated individual stated capital) attributable to the shares that are the basis for that payment (when the per-share purchase amount is greater than the per-share amount of capital), the amount in excess will be deemed a dividend and taxed accordingly. Furthermore, the amount derived after deducting the amount deemed to be a dividend from the amount received for accepting the Tender Offer will be deemed income from the transfer of shares. When there is no amount deemed to be a dividend (when the per-share purchase amount is less than the per-share amount of capital) the entire amount received will be transfer income.

The amount deemed to be a dividend is subject to a withholding of 20.315% (15.315% for income tax and special income tax for reconstruction and 5% for resident tax) (There will be no special withholding of the 5% resident tax for non-residents with a permanent establishment in Japan). However, if the shareholder is considered as a principal shareholder as provided for in Article 4-6-2, Paragraph 12 of the Order for Enforcement of the Act on Special Measures Concerning Taxation, the withholding is 20.42% (income tax and special income tax for reconstruction only). As a general rule, the amount after deducting the cost of acquiring the shares from the transfer income is subject to declared separate income taxes.

(b) For the Tendering Shareholders who are non-residents without a permanent establishment in Japan

The amount deemed to be a dividend will be subject to withholding of 15.315% (income tax and special income tax for reconstruction only). If the shareholder is considered as a principal shareholder, the withholding will be 20.42% (income tax and special income tax for reconstruction only). As a general rule, income arising from the transfer will not be subject to taxation.

(ii) For corporate shareholders, when the amount of money received for accepting the Tender Offer exceeds the amount of the portion of the Company’s capital (or for a consolidated corporation, its consolidated individual stated capital) attributable to the shares that are the basis for that payment, the amount of this excess will be deemed a dividend. As a general rule, the portion deemed to be a dividend will be subject to withholding of 15.315% (income tax and special income tax for reconstruction only).

A foreign shareholder who wishes to receive an income tax reduction or exemption for such deemed dividends pursuant to an applicable tax treaty should submit the tax treaty application form, together with the tender offer application form, to the tender offer agent at the time of the tender.
