Shares whose certificates were not deposited with the Japan Securities Depository Center (JASDEC) by the January 5, 2009 transition to the electronic share certificate system (including physical certificates kept at home) have been recorded in a special account.

Shares recorded in the special account are managed under the name of the holder of the physical share certificates as of the transition date to the electronic share certificate system. Therefore, please be aware that if the name transfer has not been completed, you may be unable to exercise your rights as a shareholder, or these rights may be forfeited.
