Reference

 

1.          The offering by way of over-allotment

 

The offering by way of over-allotment in "3. Secondary offering of shares (offering by way of over- allotment)" above is a secondary offering of shares of common stock of the Company in Japan to be madein conjunction with the Japanese Public Offering in "2. Issuance of new shares by way of public offering" in an amount not to exceed 86,000,000 shares, that will be borrowed by the Japanese Lead Manager for the Japanese Public Offering from certainshareholder(s) of the Company (the "Borrowed Shares") taking into account market demand for the offerings and other conditions. Thenumber of shares in the offering by way of over-allotment is expected to be 86,000,000 shares, which indicates the maximum number of shares to be sold, and depending on market demand and other conditions such number may decrease, or the over-allotment may be cancelled.

In connection with the offering by way of over-allotment, the board of directors of the Company has resolved, at the meeting held on July 3, 2012 (Tue), that the Company will issue 86,000,000  shares of its common stock necessary to return the Borrowed Shares to the certain shareholder(s), by way of third-party allotment to the Japanese Lead Manager with the payment date set to be August 17,2012 (Fri).

Furthermore, uponconsultation with the Japanese Joint Lead Managers, the Japanese Lead Manager may also purchase shares of common stock of the Company on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, Inc., up to the number of shares to be offered in the offering by way of over-allotment (the"Syndicate Cover Transactions"). Shares of common stock of the Company purchased through Syndicate Cover Transactions shall be used to return the Borrowed Shares. Such Syndicate Cover Transactionswould be made during the period beginning on the date immediately following the last day of the subscription period of the offering by way of over-allotment and ending on August 10, 2012 (Fri) (the "Syndicate Cover Transaction Period"). During the SyndicateCover Transaction Period, the Japanese Lead Manager, upon consultation with the Japanese Joint Lead Managers, may elect to not conduct any Syndicate Cover Transactions or may terminate Syndicate Cover Transactions before the number of shares purchased through such transactions reaches the number of shares offered in the offering by way of over-allotment.

The Japanese Lead Manager may conduct stabilizing transactions as it conducts the Japanese Public Offering and the offering by way of over-allotment. The shares of common stock of the Company acquiredthrough such stabilizingtransactions may be used, in whole or in part, to return the Borrowed Shares.

The Japanese Lead Manager plans to accept the allotment under the Third-Party Allotment of an equivalent number of shares of common stock of the Company (the "Planned Acquisition Share Number") calculatedby deducting (a) the number of shares purchased through stabilization transactions and Syndicate Cover Transactions that are to be used to return the Borrowed Shares, from (b) the number of shares to be offered in the over-allotment. Accordingly, all or a part of the shares to be issued under the Third-Party Allotment may not be subscribed for, which may result in a decrease in the maximum number of shares planned to be issued under the Third-Party Allotment, or in the cancellation of the entire issuance due to forfeiture.

If the Japanese Lead Manager accepts the allotment for the Third-Party Allotment, the Japanese Lead Manager will make payment for the Planned Acquisition Share Number using funds obtained through the offering by over-allotment.

The Syndicate Cover Transactions and the stabilizing transactions shall be made by the Japanese Lead Manager in consultation with the Joint Global Coordinators, and with the Japanese Joint Lead Managers.
