"results for proposals acted upon at the 109th Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders"

An ordinary general meeting of shareholders is a company’s regular annual meeting where owners vote on routine but important matters such as electing the board, approving financial statements, appointing auditors and deciding dividend policy. Think of it like an annual homeowners’ meeting where basic rules, budget items and leadership are confirmed; its results directly affect corporate oversight, financial reporting and distributions, so investors monitor it for governance and payout signals.

Notes:

1. Lin Tao’s legal name as registered in the family register is Lin Imaizumi.

2. The resolution for the Proposal 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.

3. The denominator of the “Ratio of favorable votes” was calculated by adding the number of voting rights held by the present and voting shareholders at the Meeting.

(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:

The required majority approval for the proposal was met by aggregating the votes exercised prior to the Meeting and votes of shareholders present at the Meeting of which the Corporation was able to confirm the indication as to the proposal. Therefore, of the voting rights held by shareholders present at the Meeting, the number of voting rights concerning the indication of “for,” “against” or “abstention” as to the proposal of which the Corporation was not able to verify was not tallied, except as explained in Note 3 to the table of 2. (3) 2) above.
