Notes:
* Requirements for the approval of these proposals are as follows.
Proposals 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.
(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 |
Because the required majority approval for this proposal was met by the voting rights exercised in advance on or before the day prior to the day of Meeting and the voting rights of certain shareholders who attended the Meeting and whose intention to approve or reject the proposal have been confirmed, and the resolution was thereby enacted lawfully under the Company Law.
