Proposal No. 1 Approval of Share Exchange Plan (kyodo-kabushiki-iten-keikaku) of
the Company and NIPPONKOA Insurance Company, Limited
The Company plans to implement, jointly with NIPPONKOA Insurance Company, Limited (hereinafter “NIPPONKOA” and, together with the Company, “Both Companies”), a business integration (hereinafter the “Integration”) in which Both Companies will incorporate as of April 1, 2010, through a share exchange (kyodo-kabushiki-iten) (hereinafter the “Share Exchange”), a holding company called NKSJ Holdings, Inc. (hereinafter the “Holding Company”) that shall be the wholly owning parent company of Both Companies, and Both Companies shall become the Holding Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries.
This Proposal requests approval of the share exchange plan (kyodo-kabushiki-iten-keikaku) prepared by Both Companies (contents of which are specified in pages 30 through 194 hereof (Note: pages 27 through 183 of English translation) (hereinafter the “Exchange Plan”) in order to implement the Integration.
The application procedures to have shares in the Holding Company listed on the First Section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange as well as the First Section of the Osaka Securities Exchange are scheduled to be taken promptly in association with the Integration. The shares in the Holding Company that will be listed on both of these Exchanges will be distributed to our shareholders in exchange for shares in the Company, at the prescribed Share Exchange Ratio.
1. | Reasons for the Share Exchange |
Companies are under strong pressure to take appropriate action and to contribute to the safety of society as well as the sense of security on the part of customers, in the face of a declining birthrate as well as an aging and depopulating society, which are serious problems in Japan over the medium and long term, as well as in conjunction with increasing risks as a result of climate change on a global level as well as global warming, and the diversification of needs associated with changes in lifestyles.
Based on this shared perspective, the Company and NIPPONKOA have decided to create a “new solution service group that will provide customers with security and service of the highest quality and will contribute to the social welfare,” while sharing as a single group the strengths nurtured over their respective 120-year histories.
2. | Outline of the Exchange Plan |
Contents of the Exchange Plan shall be as set forth in the share exchange plan (kyodo-kabushiki-iten-keikakusho) attached hereto (pages 30 through 194) (Note: pages 27 through 183 of English translation).
3. | Matters concerning the reasonability of the provisions relating to the matters prescribed by Article 773, Paragraph 1 (v) and (vi) of the Corporation Law |
(1) | Both Companies which will become wholly owned subsidiaries of the Holding Company through the Share Exchange have determined the allocation ratio of shares of common stock of the Holding Company to be delivered to their respective shareholders upon incorporation of the Holding Company which is the wholly owning parent company (the “Share Exchange Ratio”) as follows. |
(i) | The Share Exchange Ratio is as set out below. |
One share of common stock of the Holding Company will be allotted for one share of common stock of the Company and 0.9 shares of common stock of the Holding Company will be allotted for one share of common stock of NIPPONKOA.
The number of shares per unit of shares of the Holding Company shall be 1,000 (at the present time in Both Companies the number of shares per unit of shares in the respective company is 1,000). It is however possible that the Share Exchange Ratio referred to above may be changed through mutual consultation of Both Companies if a material change occurs in any of the conditions upon which the ratio was determined.
5
(ii) Basis of calculation etc. in relation to the Share Exchange Ratio are as set out below.
In order to ensure the fairness of Both Companies’ respective calculation of the share exchange ratio to be used in the Share Exchange, the Company requested Nomura Securities Co., Ltd. (“Nomura Securities”), Mizuho Securities Co., Ltd. (“Mizuho Securities”) and Goldman Sachs Japan Co., Ltd. (“Goldman Sachs”), and NIPPONKOA requested Merrill Lynch Japan Securities Co., Ltd. (“Merrill Lynch”) and Mitsubishi UFJ Securities Co., Ltd. (“Mitsubishi UFJ Securities”), to perform fairness analyses relating to the calculation of the share exchange ratio in connection with the business integration.
Because the common stock of each of Both Companies has a market price, Nomura Securities has adopted the average market price method, as well as the comparable peer company method, the dividend discount model analysis method (the “DDM Method”) and contribution analysis, for calculating the share exchange ratio. The calculation results based on each method are as follows. The calculation range of the share exchange ratio shows the range of the number of shares of the Holding Company’s common stock that are to be allotted for each share of common stock of NIPPONKOA, assuming that one share of common stock of the Holding Company will be allotted for each share of the Company’s common stock.
| | | | |
| | Adopted Method | | Calculation Range of Share Exchange Ratio |
(1) | | Average Market Price Method | | 0.85 ~ 0.92 |
(2) | | Comparable Peer Company Method | | 0.53 ~ 0.69 |
(3) | | DDM Method | | 0.74 ~ 1.05 |
(4) | | Contribution Analysis | | 0.54 ~ 1.26 |
In the average market price method, the calculation range of the share exchange ratio is based on (1) the closing stock price on July 28, 2009 (the “Record Date”); (2) the average closing stock price during the week before the Record Date; (3) the average closing stock price during the month before the Record Date; (4) the average closing stock price between May 21, 2009 (one business day after the date of the disclosure of the financial results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009) and the Record Date; (5) the average closing stock price during the three months before the Record Date and (6) the average closing stock price between March 16, 2009 (one business day after the Memorandum of Understanding was announced) and the Record Date.
Nomura Securities has used the information provided by Both Companies, in addition to publicly available information, to conduct its analysis. Nomura Securities has not conducted any independent verification of the accuracy and completeness of this information, but rather has assumed that all such materials and information are accurate and complete. In addition, Nomura Securities has not made any independent evaluation, appraisal or assessment of the assets or liabilities (including contingent liabilities) of either of Both Companies or their affiliates, nor has Nomura Securities independently analyzed or assessed each individual asset and liability. Nomura Securities has not appointed any third party for appraisal or assessment. Nomura Securities calculated the share exchange ratio based on information and economic conditions as of July 28, 2009, and Nomura Securities assumes that the financial projections (including the profit plan and other information) reported by Both Companies have been rationally prepared on the basis of the best possible estimates and judgment available at that time from the management of each of Both Companies.
Because the common stock of each of Both Companies has a market price, Mizuho Securities has adopted the average market price method, as well as the comparable peer company method and the dividend discount model analysis method (the “DDM Method”), for calculating the share exchange ratio. The calculation results based on each method are as follows. The calculation range of the share exchange ratio shows the range of the number of shares of the Holding Company’s common stock to be allotted for each share of common stock of NIPPONKOA, assuming that one share of common stock of the Holding Company will be allotted for each share of the Company’s common stock.

| | | | |
| | Adopted Method | | Calculation Range of Share Exchange Ratio |
(1) | | Average Market Price Method | | 0.851 ~ 0.942 |
(2) | | Comparable Peer Company Method | | 0.485 ~ 0.927 |
(3) | | Dividend Discount Model Analysis (DDM Method) | | 0.453 ~ 1.020 |
In the average market price method, the calculation range of the share exchange ratio is based on (1) the closing stock price on July 24, 2009 (one business day before July 25, 2009, when there were press reports about the share exchange ratio) (the “Record Date”); (2) the average closing stock price during the week before the Record Date; (3) the average closing stock price during the month before the Record Date; and (4) the average closing stock price during the three months before the Record Date.
Mizuho Securities has used the information provided by Both Companies, in addition to publicly available information, to conduct its analysis. Mizuho Securities has not conducted any independent verification of the accuracy and completeness of this information, but rather has assumed that all such materials and information are accurate and complete. In addition, Mizuho Securities has not made any independent evaluation, appraisal or assessment of the assets or liabilities (including contingent liabilities) or reserves of either party, their subsidiaries or their affiliates, nor has Mizuho Securities independently analyzed or assessed each individual asset or liability or reserve. Mizuho Securities has not appointed any third party for appraisal or assessment. Mizuho Securities calculated the share exchange ratio based on information and economic conditions up to and as of July 28, 2009, and Mizuho Securities assumes that the financial projections (including the profit plan and other information) reported by Both Companies have been rationally prepared on the basis of the best possible estimates and judgment available at that time from the management of each of Both Companies.
Goldman Sachs performed a stock price analysis and a comparable companies analysis based on publicly available information, and a DDM analysis based on financial projections prepared by management of Both Companies, as approved for Goldman Sachs’ use by the Company. The results of respective analyses are shown below. The below ranges of the share exchange ratio are for a number of shares of the Holding Company to be issued in exchange for one share of NIPPONKOA common stock assuming that one share of the Holding Company stock will be issued in exchange for one share of the Company common stock. In performing the stock price analysis, Goldman Sachs used July 24, 2009 as the base date, and reviewed the closing market prices of Both Companies on the base date and the closing market prices of Both Companies during the one-month, three-month and six-month period ending on the base date as a basis for the analysis. In addition, no company used in this analysis as a comparison is directly comparable to the Company and NIPPONKOA. Goldman Sachs delivered to the Company a written opinion, approved by the fairness committee of Goldman Sachs & Co., that, as of July 29, 2009, and based upon and subject to certain conditions, including the below assumptions, the share exchange ratio of one share of common stock of the Holding Company to be issued in exchange for one share of common stock of the Company agreed to pursuant to the Agreement was fair to the shareholders of the Company from a financial point of view. Goldman Sachs provided its advisory services and the opinion for the information and assistance of the Board of Directors of the Company in connection with its consideration of the share exchange and such opinion does not constitute a recommendation as to how any shareholder of the Company should vote with respect to such Share Exchange or any other matter. Goldman Sachs did not recommend any specific share exchange ratio to the Company or its Board of Directors or that any specific share exchange ratio constituted the only appropriate share exchange ratio. Please refer to Note 1 below for a more detailed description.
| | | | |
| | Analysis Method | | Range of Share Exchange Ratio |
(1) | | Stock Price Analysis | | 0.77 ~ 1.57 |
(2) | | Comparable Companies Analysis | | 0.53 ~ 2.74 |
(3) | | DDM Analysis | | 0.51 ~ 1.24 |

Goldman Sachs’ analyses and opinion are necessarily based on economic, monetary, market and other conditions as in effect on, and the information made available to Goldman Sachs as of, July 29, 2009, and Goldman Sachs assumes no responsibility for updating, revising or reaffirming this opinion based on circumstances, developments or events occurring after the date thereof. Goldman Sachs assumed with the Company’s consent that the financial forecasts for Both Companies, including synergies, have been reasonably prepared on the basis of the best possible estimates and judgment available at that time from the management of each of Both Companies.
Merrill Lynch, considering the trends of the market share prices, forecasts and other aspects of the performance of NIPPONKOA and the Company, conducted its valuation using a market price analysis, a comparable companies analysis and a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) analysis, and the Board of Directors of NIPPONKOA received a valuation report from Merrill Lynch on July 29, 2009. (Furthermore, the Board of Directors of NIPPONKOA received a written opinion on July 29, 2009, to the effect that, based on the assumptions set forth below and other conditions set forth in such written opinion, the Share Exchange Ratio to be used in the Share Exchange is fair, from a financial point of view, to the holders of common stock of NIPPONKOA, other than the Company and its affiliates. Both the valuation report and the written opinion were submitted by Merrill Lynch to the Board of Directors of NIPPONKOA on the condition that they were prepared solely for use by the Board of Directors of NIPPONKOA in connection with its evaluation of the share exchange ratio for the Share Exchange, and that they may not be used or relied upon for any other purpose. Moreover, the Board of Directors of NIPPONKOA has received further supplementary explanation from Merrill Lynch concerning the assumptions and disclaimers related to its analyses and opinions in evaluating the stockholder value of each company. Please see Note 2 below for details.) The market price analysis was based (1) on the closing price of each company on July 24, 2009 (the “Record Date (i)”) and the average closing prices of each company for the one-month, three-month and six-month periods up to and including the Record Date (i) and (2) on the closing prices of each company on March 11, 2009 (the “Record Date (ii)”), the business day immediately prior to the day on which the Share Exchange of NIPPONKOA and the Company was reported by newspapers, and the average closing prices for the one-month, three-month and six-month periods up to and including the Record Date (ii). The table below sets forth the primary methodologies that Merrill Lynch used in its valuations of NIPPONKOA and the Company, along with the ranges of share exchange ratios obtained as a result of such valuations are set forth below. (The following ranges represent the number of shares of NIPPONKOA to be transferred for one share of the Holding Company, assuming that each share of the Company is to be transferred for one share of the Holding Company.)
| | | | |
| | Methodology | | Range of Share Exchange Ratios |
(1)-1 | | Market Price Analysis (Record Date (i)) | | 0.85 ~ 1.01 |
(1)-2 | | Market Price Analysis (Record Date (ii)) | | 1.01 ~ 1.44 |
(2) | | Comparable Companies Analysis | | 0.62 ~ 0.96 |
(3) | | DCF Analysis | | 0.72 ~ 1.29 |
Merrill Lynch, in preparing its written opinion and the valuations set forth in its valuation report, which were the basis for the written opinion, has assumed and relied on the accuracy and completeness of all information supplied to it by NIPPONKOA and the Company or otherwise made available to Merrill Lynch, discussed with or reviewed by Merrill Lynch, or publicly available, and has not assumed any responsibility for independently verifying such information or undertaken an independent evaluation or appraisal of any of the assets, liabilities or facilities of NIPPONKOA or the Company. Moreover, with respect to the prospects for business, profits, cash flow, assets, liabilities, new business plans, and other matters furnished to or discussed with Merrill Lynch, in addition to any information concerning cost savings expected to arise from the Share Exchange or the expenses related to the execution of the Share Exchange including the amount and timing of such cost savings and related expenses and synergies, Merrill Lynch assumed that they were reasonably prepared and reflected the best possible estimates and judgment of NIPPONKOA’s or the Company’s management available at that time. The written opinion and valuation report provided by Merrill Lynch are necessarily based on the information available to it and economic conditions as they
8
existed on July 29, 2009, and Merrill Lynch assumes no responsibility to update, revise, or reconfirm either its opinion or analyses based on any circumstances, changes, or for any other cause arising after such date.
Merrill Lynch is acting as financial advisor to NIPPONKOA and will receive a fee from NIPPONKOA for its services, a significant portion of which is contingent on the consummation of the Share Exchange.
Because the common stock of each of Both Companies has a market price, Mitsubishi UFJ Securities has adopted the average market price method, as well as the comparable peer company method based on the revised net assets and the dividend discount model analysis method (the ���DDM Method”), for calculating the share exchange ratio. The calculation results based on each method are as follows. The calculation range of the share exchange ratio shows the range of the number of shares of the Holding Company’s common stock to be allotted for each share of common stock of NIPPONKOA, assuming that one share of common stock of the Holding Company will be allotted for each share of the Company’s common stock.
| | | | |
| | Adopted Method | | Calculation Range of Share Exchange Ratio |
(1) | | Average Market Price Method (Record Date (i)) | | 0.773 ~ 1.121 |
(2) | | Average Market Price Method (Record Date (ii)) | | 0.613 ~ 1.571 |
(3) | | Comparable Peer Company Method | | 0.710 ~ 0.862 |
(4) | | DDM Method | | 0.773 ~ 1.114 |
In the average market price method, the closing stock price has been applied for the periods of one month and three months on and until the record date of July 27, 2009 (the “Record Date” (i)) and for any day after March 16, 2009 (one business day after the announcement on the Memorandum of Understanding), as well as for the period of one month, three months and six months on and until the record date of March 11, 2009 (the “Record Date” (ii)) (one business day before March 12, 2009, when there were press reports speculating about the business integration).
Mitsubishi UFJ Securities has used the information provided by Both Companies, in addition to publicly available information, to conduct its analysis. Mitsubishi UFJ Securities has not conducted any independent verification of the accuracy and completeness of this information, but rather has assumed that all such materials and information are accurate and complete. In addition, Mitsubishi UFJ Securities has not made any independent evaluation, appraisal or assessment of the assets or liabilities (including contingent liabilities) of either of Both Companies or their affiliates, nor has Mitsubishi UFJ Securities independently analyzed or assessed each individual asset and liability. Mitsubishi UFJ Securities has not appointed any third party for appraisal or assessment. Mitsubishi UFJ Securities calculated the share exchange ratio based on information and economic conditions up to and as of July 27, 2009, and Mitsubishi UFJ Securities assumes that the financial projections (including the profit plan and other information) reported by Both Companies have been rationally prepared on the basis of the best possible estimates and judgment available at that time from the management of each of Both Companies.
2) | Determination of the Share Exchange Ratio |
The Company and NIPPONKOA considered various factors, including the financial conditions, asset conditions and future outlook of Both Companies, and engaged in careful deliberation concerning the share exchange ratio, and in the process, the Company referred to the results of analyses of Nomura Securities, Mizuho Securities and Goldman Sachs, and NIPPONKOA referred to the results of analyses of Merrill Lynch and Mitsubishi UFJ Securities. On July 29, 2009, Both Companies concluded that the share exchange ratio mentioned above is appropriate, and agreed on the ratio.
Furthermore, the Company obtained opinions from Nomura Securities and Mizuho Securities, dated July 29, 2009, stating that from a financial point of view, the agreed share exchange ratio is fair to the shareholders of the Company, subject to the conditions set forth hereunder and certain other conditions. The Company has also received an opinion from Goldman Sachs, dated July 29, 2009, stating that from a financial point of view, the agreed share exchange ratio of one share of common stock of the Holding Company to be issued in exchange for each share of common stock of the Company is fair to the shareholders of the Company,
9
subject to the conditions set forth hereunder and certain other conditions. Also, NIPPONKOA obtained an opinion from Merrill Lynch and Mitsubishi UFJ Securities dated July 29, 2009, stating that from a financial point of view, the agreed share exchange ratio is fair to the shareholders of NIPPONKOA, subject to the conditions set forth hereunder and certain other conditions.
3) | Relationship with entities that performed fairness analyses |
None of Nomura Securities, Mizuho Securities nor Goldman Sachs, the institutions that performed fairness analyses relating to the calculation of the share exchange ratio for the Company, is a related party of the Company, and none of them has a material interest in the reorganization contemplated in this document.
Furthermore, neither Merrill Lynch nor Mitsubishi UFJ Securities, the institutions that performed fairness analyses relating to the calculation of the share exchange ratio for NIPPONKOA, constitutes a related party with respect to NIPPONKOA, and none of them has a material interest in the reorganization.
(Note 1)
Goldman Sachs and its affiliates are engaged in investment banking and financial advisory services, commercial banking, securities trading, investment management, principal investment, financial planning, benefits counseling, risk management, hedging, financing, brokerage activities and other financial and non-financial activities and services for various persons and entities. In the ordinary course of these activities and services, Goldman Sachs and its affiliates may at any time make or hold long or short positions and investments, as well as actively trade or effect transactions, in the equity, debt and other securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans and other obligations) of third parties, the Company, NIPPONKOA and any of their respective affiliates or any currency or commodity that may be involved in the transaction contemplated by the Agreement (the “Transaction”) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers. Goldman Sachs has acted as financial advisor to the Company in connection with, and has participated in certain of the negotiations leading to, the Transaction. Goldman Sachs expects to receive fees for its services in connection with the Transaction, a portion of which is contingent upon consummation of the Transaction, and the Company has agreed to reimburse certain of Goldman Sachs’ expenses arising, and indemnify Goldman Sachs against certain liabilities that may arise, out of its engagement. In addition, Goldman Sachs has provided and is currently providing certain investment banking and other financial services to the Company and its affiliates. Goldman Sachs also may provide investment banking and other financial services to the Company, NIPPONKOA and their respective affiliates in the future. In connection with the above-described services, Goldman Sachs has received, and may receive, compensation.
In connection with its analyses and opinion, Goldman Sachs has reviewed, among other things, the Agreement; the Annual Securities Reports (Yuka Shoken Houkoku-Sho) of the Company and NIPPONKOA for the five fiscal years ended March 31, 2009; certain other communications from the Company and NIPPONKOA to their respective stockholders; certain internal financial analyses and forecasts for the Company prepared by its management and certain internal analyses and forecasts for NIPPONKOA prepared by its management and reviewed by the management of the Company, in each case as approved for Goldman Sachs’ use by the Company (the “Forecasts”), including certain cost savings projected by the managements of the Company and NIPPONKOA to result from the Transaction, as prepared by the managements of the Company and NIPPONKOA and approved for Goldman Sachs’ use by the Company (the “Synergies”). Goldman Sachs also has held discussions with members of the senior managements of the Company and NIPPONKOA regarding their assessment of the past and current business operations, financial condition and future prospects of NIPPONKOA and with the members of senior management of the Company and NIPPONKOA regarding their assessment of the past and current business operations, financial condition and future prospects of the Company and the strategic rationale for, and the potential benefits of, the Transaction. In addition, Goldman Sachs has reviewed the reported price and trading activity for the common shares of the Company and NIPPONKOA, compared certain financial and stock market information for the
10
Company and NIPPONKOA with similar information for certain other companies the securities of which are publicly traded, considered the relative exposure of the Company and NIPPONKOA to losses from financial guarantee insurance on CDO securities, and performed such other studies and analyses, and considered such other factors, as Goldman Sachs considered appropriate.
For purposes of rendering its opinion, Goldman Sachs has relied upon and assumed, without assuming any responsibility for independent verification, the accuracy and completeness of all of the financial, legal, regulatory, tax, accounting and other information provided to, discussed with or reviewed by Goldman Sachs and Goldman Sachs does not assume any liability for any such information. In that regard, Goldman Sachs has assumed with the consent of the Company that the Forecasts, including the Synergies, have been reasonably prepared on a basis reflecting the best estimates and judgments of the management of the Company available at that time. In addition, Goldman Sachs has not made an independent evaluation or appraisal of the assets and liabilities (including any contingent, derivative or off-balance-sheet assets and liabilities) of the Company or NIPPONKOA, or any of their respective subsidiaries, and Goldman Sachs has not been furnished with any such evaluation or appraisal. Goldman Sachs also has assumed that all governmental, regulatory or other consents and approvals necessary for the consummation of the Transaction will be obtained without any adverse effect on the Holding Company, the Company or NIPPONKOA or on the expected benefits of the Transaction in any way meaningful to its analysis. Goldman Sachs also assumed that the Transaction will be consummated on the terms set forth in the Agreement, without the waiver or modification of any term or condition the effect of which would be in any way meaningful to its analysis. Goldman Sachs is not an actuary and its services did not include any actuarial determination or evaluation by Goldman Sachs or any attempt to evaluate actuarial assumptions. In that regard, Goldman Sachs has made no analysis of, and expresses no opinion as to, the adequacy of the reserves of the Company, or NIPPONKOA. In addition, Goldman Sachs is not expressing any opinion as to the impact of the Transaction on the solvency or viability of the Company, NIPPONKOA or the Holding Company or the ability of the Company, NIPPONKOA or the Holding Company to pay its obligations when they come due, and its opinion does not address any legal, regulatory, tax or accounting matters. Goldman Sachs’ opinion does not address the underlying business decision of the Company to engage in the Transaction, or the relative merits of the Transaction as compared to any strategic alternatives that may be available to the Company. The opinion addresses only the fairness from a financial point of view to the common shareholders of the Company, as of July 29, 2009, of the share exchange ratio of one share of common stock of the Holding Company to be issued in exchange for each share of common stock of the Company pursuant to the Agreement. Goldman Sachs does not express any view on, and its opinion does not address, any other term or aspect of the Agreement or Transaction, including, without limitation, the fairness of the Transaction to, or any consideration received in connection therewith by, NIPPONKOA or the common shareholders of NIPPONKOA or any other class of securities, creditors, or other constituencies of the Company or NIPPONKOA; nor as to the fairness of the amount or nature of any compensation to be paid or payable to any of the officers, directors or employees of the Company or NIPPONKOA, or class of such persons in connection with the Transaction, whether relative to the share exchange ratio pursuant to the Agreement or otherwise. Goldman Sachs is not expressing any opinion as to the prices at which shares of the Company, the Holding Company, or NIPPONKOA will trade at any time.
The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex process and is not necessarily susceptible to partial analysis or summary description. Selecting portions of the analyses or of the summary set forth above, without considering the analyses as a whole, could create an incomplete view of the processes underlying Goldman Sachs’ opinion. In arriving at its fairness determination, Goldman Sachs considered the results of all of its analyses and did not attribute any particular weight to any factor or analysis considered by it. Rather, Goldman Sachs made its determination as to fairness on the basis of its experience and professional judgment after considering the results of all of its analyses.

(Note 2)
Merrill Lynch has made qualitative judgments as to the significance and relevance of each analysis and each factor considered in the course of preparing these documents. Accordingly, Merrill Lynch believes that its analysis must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of its analysis and factors, without considering all analyses and factors, could create an incomplete view of the processes underlying such analysis and opinion. In its analysis, Merrill Lynch made numerous assumptions with respect to NIPPONKOA, the Company, industry performance and regulatory environment, general business, economic, market and financial conditions, as well as other matters, many of which are beyond the control of NIPPONKOA and involve the application of complex methodologies and educated judgment. No company, business or transaction used in any analysis as a comparison is identical to NIPPONKOA, the Company, or the Share Exchange. Analyses relating to the value of businesses or securities are not appraisals and may not reflect the present or future prices at which businesses, companies or securities may actually be sold, which may be significantly different from those suggested by those analysis. Accordingly, these analyses and estimates are inherently subject to substantial uncertainty.
Merrill Lynch has not undertaken an independent evaluation of the solvency or fair value of NIPPONKOA or of the Company, and has assumed, with the consent of NIPPONKOA, that certain accounting and tax-related procedures will be followed in connection with this transaction. Merrill Lynch has assumed that in the course of obtaining the necessary regulatory consents or approvals for this transaction, no restrictions, including any divestiture requirements or amendments or modifications, will be imposed by the relevant authorities that will have a material adverse affect on the contemplated benefits of this transaction.
In connection with the preparation of the written opinion, Merrill Lynch has not been authorized by NIPPONKOA or its Board of Directors to solicit, nor has it solicited, third-party indications of interest for the acquisition of all or any part of NIPPONKOA.
NIPPONKOA has agreed to indemnify Merrill Lynch for certain liabilities arising out of its engagement. Merrill Lynch has, in the past, provided financial advisory and financial services to NIPPONKOA and the Company and has received, and may receive, fees for the rendering of such services. Further, in the ordinary course of business, Merrill Lynch or its affiliates may actively trade the common stock or other securities of NIPPONKOA, as well as the common stock or other securities of the Company for its own account and for the accounts of its customers and, accordingly, may at any time hold a long or short position in such securities.
Neither the valuation report nor the written opinion delivered by Merrill Lynch address the merits of the underlying decision by NIPPONKOA to engage in this transaction or constitutes a recommendation to any stockholder of NIPPONKOA as to how such stockholder should vote on (or whether any opposing stockholder should exercise its statutory opposition rights of appraisal in respect of) this transaction or any matter related thereto. In addition, Merrill Lynch has not been asked to address, nor do the valuation report or the written opinion address, the fairness to, or any other consideration of, the holders of any class of securities, creditors or other constituencies of NIPPONKOA other than the holders of the common stock of NIPPONKOA. Merrill Lynch does not express any opinion herein as to the prices at which shares of NIPPONKOA, the Company or the Holding Company will trade following the announcement or consummation of this transaction, or as to the appropriateness of the trade of any such shares.

(2) | Both Companies have determined that at the time of the incorporation of the Holding Company by way of the Share Exchange, the amounts of capital and capital reserve etc. of the Holding Company shall be as set out below. |
| (i) | The amounts of capital and capital reserve etc. of the Holding Company shall be as follows. |
| | |
Amount of Capital: | | 100 billion yen |
Amount of Capital Reserve: | | 25 billion yen |
Amount of Retained Earnings Reserve: | | 0 yen |
| (ii) | The amounts of capital and capital reserve etc. of the Holding Company set forth above have been determined by Both Companies through consultation, taking into comprehensive consideration the capital policy of the Holding Company after its incorporation and other factors and within the limits set forth in Article 52 of the Ordinance for Company Accounting. |
4. | Matters concerning the reasonability of the provisions concerning the matters prescribed by Article 773, Paragraph 1 (ix) and (x) of the Corporation Law pertaining to the share options issued by Both Companies set forth in Article 808, Paragraph 3 (iii) of the Corporation Law. |
Both Companies have decided, with respect to the share options respectively issued by Both Companies set forth in Column (1) of rows 1 through 22 of the table below, that the share options of the Holding Company set forth correspondingly in Column (2) of the table below shall be delivered to the holders of the share options stated or registered in the respective final share option registries of Both Companies as of the end of the day immediately preceding the effective date of the Share Exchange, in exchange for and in the same number as, the relevant share options issued by Both Companies.
Thus each holder of a share option in either of Both Companies will receive allotment of a share option of the Holding Company which is effectively of the same content and in the same quantity as the share option owned by such holder prior to the effective date of the Share Exchange, which allotment is to be made with a view towards equal protection of the rights of shareholders of Both Companies and holders of share options of Both Companies taking into consideration the terms of each share option and the Share Exchange Ratio.

Financial Statements etc. relating to the latest Business Year
(Business Year ended on March 31, 2009) of NIPPONKOA Insurance Company, Limited
184
Business Year 2008 (April 1, 2008 to March 31, 2009) Business Report
1. Matters Concerning the Current Status of NIPPONKOA
(1) | Business Progress and Results |
In business year 2008, the Japanese economy saw a drop in exports and production due to the turmoil in the financial markets and a downturn in the global economy stemming from the subprime loan problem in the United States and experienced a sharp decline due to factors such as worsening employment and income environment caused by a significant drop in corporate earnings and a fall in consumer spending.
In this increasingly competitive business environment, in the non-life insurance industry, there has been no growth in automobile insurance, which is NIPPONKOA’s main product, due to a decline in new car sales and there has been a significant drop in compulsory automobile liability insurance due to revised insurance premium rates. Further, NIPPONKOA has taken measures to prevent the reoccurrence of the problems with an aim of regaining customer trust and has proceeded with respect to issues such as failures to pay incidental claims in the past business year, improper non-payments of claims for third-sector products, and inappropriate calculation of premiums for fire and other insurance.
Based on the business improvement plan formulated by NIPPONKOA in April 2007 after it became subject to an administrative order from the Financial Services Agency in March 2007, NIPPONKOA has proceeded with improving and strengthening its internal structures such as management control system, claims payment management system, and compliance system, and has taken steps to review and strengthen its insurance soliciting system in order to prevent problems such as inappropriate calculation of premiums for fire and other insurance.
Based on the steady implementation of these measures, NIPPONKOA, with the aims of restoring customer trust and improving customer satisfaction, has developed the following measures.
First, in order to improve operational quality, all customer complaints that are received by NIPPONKOA are being consolidated by the Quality Control Department and NIPPONKOA is working to create a quality improvement cycle by examining the appropriateness of the processes of product development, policy solicitation, policy management, and insurance payments. Further, we have proceeded to Phase 2 of our Quality Improvement Program, which began in November 2007, and the entire company has worked to develop measures that are aimed at attaining a product and service standard with which our customers are satisfied.
With respect to its business operations for customers, NIPPONKOA has made efforts to ensure that its agencies provide each customer with an explanation of material matters and confirm the customer’s intentions at the time of concluding an insurance agreement. NIPPONKOA has also commenced a Risk Checking Service, which recommends the optimal coverage for each customer upon confirmation and analysis of the full picture of risks and insurance coverage of the customer. Further, NIPPONKOA has made efforts to create a sales network with superior business and sales capabilities by introducing and implementing a system to update the qualifications of sales agents marketing non-life insurance products and an insurance product education system, which includes conducting a variety of training programs and holding regular meetings with sales agencies.
Overseas, NIPPONKOA established a representative office in Moscow in October 2008 in order to strengthen the position of its insurance service in Russia. NIPPONKOA also obtained permission to establish a local subsidiary that is wholly-owned by NIPPONKOA in Shenzhen, Guangdong, China. In Thailand, NIPPONKOA acquired 10% of the shares of Navakij Insurance Public Company Limited in March 2009 and has strengthened the position of its services in Thailand.
In December 2008, NIPPONKOA reached an agreement with Zurich Insurance Company Ltd. to commence discussions aimed at forming a business alliance that is expected to operate principally in the corporate insurance sector in Japan.

With respect to product development, NIPPONKOA has reviewed the coverage of its automobile insurance, which is its main product. The revised product has integrated and abolished special conditions and made improvements to pamphlets and materials to customers. With respect to NIPPONKOA’sKurashi-no-Anshin-Hoken (a combined policy including fire, personal injury and personal liability insurance), NIPPONKOA has revised its products in response to calls from its customers for products that are more understandable by, for example, simplifying special conditions and has reviewed its sales plans and the details of its coverage, as well as reviewing its insurance premiums.
With respect to claims handling, NIPPONKOA has, as part of its automobile insurance, launched a Out-of-hours Initial Response Service, which is a 24-hour response service, to meet demands for enhanced services outside of business hours. NIPPONKOA is also working to improve customer satisfaction by, for example, continuously implementing its updated internal qualification system for staff members who are in charge of making insurance payments and improving its business capabilities, as well as promoting prompt payments and improving the quality of its claims handling service by conducting its business from the perspective of customers through the Continuation and Education of the Three Challenges for Claims Handlings.
With respect to corporate social responsibility (CSR) measures, NIPPONKOA has set CO2 emission reduction targets and is working to make independent reductions in order to contribute to the prevention of global warming, and NIPPONKOA has made a Carbon Neutral Declaration under which it will aim to reduce its CO2 emissions to zero by business year 2012 through the offsetting of its CO2 emissions against emission credits and other rights. The Company has also introduced a system where it contributes a certain amount to purchase emissions credits obtained by natural energy development projects (Carbon Offset), whenever a customer chooses to receive his or her automobile insurance policy and terms and conditions in digital format through the Web Confirmation Provision instead of on paper or whenever a customer who is involved in an automobile accident chooses recycled parts (eco-parts), NIPPONKOA also held the “Eco-Safe Driving Contest,” which was a contest for corporate automobile users, in order to promote the spread of “Eco-Safe Driving” as a means of reducing fuel consumption and preventing traffic accidents. NIPPONKOA is also working to protect forests and has established NIPPONKOA Forest projects in Nagano Prefecture and Kochi Prefecture. In June 2008, NIPPONKOA signed a new agreement for Corporate Forest Protection in Miyazaki Prefecture and established a new forest protection project called “NIPPONKOA Miyazaki Nishimerano-Mori”. NIPPONKOA made a commitment to the Minister of the Environment to make continuous efforts with respect to these environmental issues and in November 2008 NIPPONKOA became the first company in the insurance industry to receive the “Eco-First Company” certification.
Although NIPPONKOA conducted business activities through these policies, NIPPONKOA’s results for the previous business year were as described below as a result of an increase in revaluation losses on securities that were recorded due to a collapse of share markets and other markets both in Japan and overseas.
Firstly, with respect to operating income, underwriting income amounted to ¥849.4 billion, investment income amounted to ¥59 billion, and other operating income amounted to ¥2.2 billion, so NIPPONKOA’s operating income amounted to ¥910.7 billion, which is a decrease of ¥26.1 billion from the previous business year.
Meanwhile, with respect to operating expenses, underwriting expenses amounted to ¥724.5 billion, investment losses including revaluation loss on securities amounted to ¥63.2 billion, operating and administrative expenses amounted to ¥124.7 billion, and other ordinary expenses amounted to ¥0.9 billion, so NIPPONKOA’s ordinary expenses amounted to ¥913.5 billion, which is a decrease of ¥6.5 billion from the previous business year.
As a result, NIPPONKOA recorded an ordinary loss of ¥2.85 billion. By adding special gains and losses, including a reversal of reserve for price fluctuations for possible price fluctuation risks such as decline in share prices, and deducting total income taxes after application of tax-effect accounting from the ordinary loss, the net income amounted to ¥10.11 billion, which is an increase of ¥2.23 billion from the previous business year.
186
Underwriting
Of NIPPONKOA’s underwriting income, the net premiums written amounted to ¥653.4 billion, which is a decrease of 5.2% compared to the previous business year. Meanwhile, of NIPPONKOA’s underwriting expenses, the net losses paid amounted to ¥400.7 billion, so NIPPONKOA’s net loss ratio is 66.7%, which is an increase of 1.3 points on the previous business year.
Further, the operating and administrative expenses pertaining to underwriting amounted to ¥118.7 billion, so the net expense ratio is 35.1%, which is an increase of 0.2 points on the previous business year. By adding or subtracting deposit premiums from policyholders, maturity refunds to policyholders, reversal of outstanding claims and reversal of underwriting reserves to the amounts in above, underwriting income amounted to ¥5.4 billion, which is an increase of ¥19.4 billion compared to the previous business year.
Insurance by Type
Fire and allied lines insurance
Due to a decrease in new policies related to housing loans and similar products, the net premiums written amounted to ¥95.8 billion, which is a decrease of 0.1% from the previous business year. Meanwhile, the net loss ratio is 47.9%, which is a decrease of 0.9 points compared to the previous business year.
Marine insurance
Due to a fall in trade because of the global recession, the overall marine insurance net premiums written of NIPPONKOA amounted to ¥16.5 billion, which is a decrease of 13.5% on the previous business year. Meanwhile, the net loss ratio is 42.9%, which is an increase of 1.1 points compared to the previous business year.
Personal accident insurance
Due to the discontinuation of sales of new personal medical insurance policies and other factors, the net premiums written amounted to ¥52.8 billion, which is a decrease of 6.1% compared to the previous business year. Meanwhile, the net loss ratio is 66.9%, which is an increase of 6.1 points compared to the previous business year.
Voluntary automobile insurance
Due to a decrease of new policy contracts, resulting from a decline of new car sales, and a decrease of policy prices, resulting from down-sizing of vehicles, the net premiums written amounted to ¥325.1 billion, which is a decrease of 1.9% compared to the previous business year. Meanwhile, the net loss ratio is 66.9%, which is a decrease of 1.5 points compared to the previous business year.
Compulsory automobile liability insurance
Due to downward revision of premium rates, the net premiums written amounted to ¥80.9 billion, which is a decrease of 21.2% compared to the previous business year. Meanwhile, the net loss ratio is 97.3%, which is an increase of 18.8 points compared to the previous business year.
Other insurance
As a result of a decrease in income from products such as movable property insurance and inland marine insurance, the total net premiums written for other insurance amounted to ¥82 billion, which is a decrease of 1.7% compared to the previous year. Meanwhile, the net loss ratio for other insurance is 62.7%, which is a decrease of 2.3 points compared to the previous business year.
187
Investments
As of the end of the current business year, NIPPONKOA’s total assets amounted to ¥2,671.7 billion and the investment assets of NIPPONKOA amounted to ¥2,412.8 billion.
In managing its assets, NIPPONKOA has appropriately controlled market risks and promoted investments that are profitable over the long term, and has also continued to make efforts to improve its portfolio including share sales in order to increase its investment efficiency and reduce price fluctuation risks. Further, in investing insurance funds entrusted to NIPPONKOA by its policyholders, NIPPONKOA has worked to secure stable earnings mainly from government bonds, highly rated corporate bonds, and loans to prime borrowers. However, as a result of factors such as a decline in interest income on foreign securities, NIPPONKOA’s interest and dividend income has dropped to ¥51.1 billion, which is a decline of ¥1.8 billion compared to the previous business year, and with the ongoing difficult investment environment, NIPPONKOA recorded a revaluation loss on securities of ¥35.9 billion.
Issues to be Addressed by NIPPONKOA
Given the possible worsening of the global recession, it is difficult to present an optimistic outlook of Japan’s economy.
While competition continues to increase in the non-life insurance industry, NIPPONKOA is required to take steps to ensure that the problems concerning insurance benefit payments and insurance solicitation do not reoccur and to work to establish customers' trust as soon as possible.
NIPPONKOA has steadily implemented the business improvement plan that it formulated in April 2007, and it is now aiming to become a company that is able to secure continuous and stable income based on the three pillars of its new medium-term business plan, which began in business year of 2009: “Contribution to Society,” “Quality Improvement,” and “Profitability Improvement.” By focusing on its customers in all of its activities, working to improve its operational quality, and performing its corporate social responsibilities, NIPPONKOA is aiming to become a company that is chosen and genuinely trusted by customers.
In March 2009, NIPPONKOA and SOMPO JAPAN INSURANCE INC. signed a Memorandum of Understanding under which they agreed to establish a joint holding company through a joint share exchange and to conduct a business integration, subject to the approval of each party’s shareholders’ meeting and relevant regulatory authorities,.
The two companies share the strengths nurtured through 120 years of their respective histories. As a new group they will focus on their business in Japan and further strengthen product development, claims handling capability, and IT capability. Through its combined distribution channels, the group will provide an increasing number of customers with security and service of the highest quality and will seek to provide a broad range of solutions to people’s lives and corporate activities in the areas of health, medical care, and environment that transcend the conventional framework of insurance business.
By quickly taking maximum advantage of the synergy effect of this business integration, NIPPONKOA will pursue greater profitability and efficiency and will maximize its shareholder value NIPPONKOA will work to achieve continuous growth and improve its corporate value while at the same time aiming to contribute to society. Thus, NIPPONKOA calls for the continued support of its shareholders.

Not applicable
8. Systems for Ensuring the Adequacy of Operation of Business
NIPPONKOA has resolved the Basic Policy of Formation of systems to ensure the adequacy of operation of business in accordance with the Companies Act and the Ordinance for Enforcement of the Companies Act. An outline of the latest resolution is as follows.
207
(1) | Systems for keeping and managing information relating to directors and executive officers’ execution of their duties |
NIPPONKOA manages and keeps information pertaining to the execution of duties by directors and executive officers (meaning documents and electronic records) based on the regulations covering information management under the supervision of the information storage and management officer (an officer responsible for general affairs) for a period of time specified by NIPPONKOA, taking the legally required retention period into account, allowing such information to be viewed promptly, for which task the retention department and manager must be appointed. Every year, the retention manager must report the status of the major retained information to the information storage and management officer on a regular basis.
(2) | Regulations and other systems pertaining to financial loss risk management |
Pursuant to the Basic Risk Management Rule, NIPPONKOA classifies the risks it must manage in the course of its business operations into eight categories: insurance underwriting risk; asset management risk; system risk; administrative risk; domestic affiliate business risk; overseas business risk; disaster risk; and reputation risk.
NIPPONKOA formulates management rules related to each of these risk categories, and then divisions responsible for conducting respective work identify, analyze, evaluate and manage all such risks. The risk management status of each operating division is controlled using a comprehensive approach across the entire organization by the Risk Management Committee. In adopting this multilevel management approach, NIPPONKOA is building a risk management system directly linked to management decision-making and working to further strengthen its risk management functions. NIPPONKOA calls this risk management system “Comprehensive Risk Management.”
NIPPONKOA also implements an integrated risk management system to help maintain sound business management and to ensure the effective use of management resources as well as enhancing the profitability analysis method by assessing risk using the Dynamic Financial Analysis (DFA) model or by stress testing assuming specific putative events such as large-scale natural disasters. The status of execution and progress of the above-mentioned risk management is regularly reported to the Board of Directors and management meetings.

(3) | Systems to ensure that the directors and executive officers effectively carry out their duties |
NIPPONKOA has adopted a system of corporate officers. By separating the roles of the corporate officers and the Board of Directors, NIPPONKOA aims to expedite prompt decision-making and implement effective operations.
The Board of Directors comprises about ten directors including independent directors (currently four independent directors) and the number of the members is appropriate for active discussions. In principle, the Board of Directors holds regular meetings twice a month, facilitating its prompt decision-making process.
NIPPONKOA provides details in the Rule for Organization’s Roles such items as the division of work duties, responsible managers, the scope of work authority, and details of work execution procedures, and assign the head of each organizational unit, thereby executing the duties under the supervision of the relevant executive officer responsible for such unit. In addition, the Management Committee—comprising the chief executive officer, corporate officers in charge of operations, full-time directors and others—convenes weekly in principle, to discuss important matters related to the execution of the duties. In doing so, the committee contributes to effective execution of the duties that is consistent with the basic policy of NIPPONKOA.
208
NIPPONKOA establishes the Strategy Committee and other committees as a cross-organizational consultation body, where the relevant executive officers and the head of each organizational unit and other related personnel participate to promptly discuss solutions regarding matters and problems faced by NIPPONKOA.
NIPPONKOA formulates medium-term business plans, taking into account issues and problems of NIPPONKOA and future projections of changes in the environment, etc. Based on these plans, NIPPONKOA prescribes annual plans and necessary measures and ensures that its employees share such information in order to perform their duties effectively in line with the basic policy of NIPPONKOA.
(4) | Systems to ensure that directors, executive officers, and employees perform their duties in compliance with relevant laws and ordinances and the Articles of Incorporation |
NIPPONKOA formulates the Compliance Rule that stipulate its fundamental policy, action standards, and compliance-promotion system in order to create a corporate culture in deference to compliance (compliance with laws and ordinances) and ensures the appropriate execution of the duties, and maintains the system as follows in accordance with the rule.
To bolster its compliance systems, NIPPONKOA establishes the Compliance Committee as a cross-organizational consultation (advisory) body to promote company-wide compliance. Furthermore, NIPPONKOA establishes the Compliance Department as a department supervising the promotion of compliance, and regional compliance offices in the head office and each regional headquarters that belong to the Compliance Department, thereby promoting NIPPONKOA’s compliance promotion system.
NIPPONKOA formulates a compliance program every year and carries out compliance training for its officers and employees, in order to improve their knowledge of compliance in the laws and ordinances related to the insurance business, internal rules and all the relevant regulations, and to promote the efforts to rectify and prevent reoccurrence of the problems revealed by complaints, auditing and inspections, etc.
NIPPONKOA also distributes a Compliance Manual as a primer to promote compliance to all of its officers and employees, which explains laws and ordinances and internal rules to be complied, the handling of complaints, how to handle improper actions when discovered, and ensure that they gain full knowledge of compliance.
NIPPONKOA obligates its officers and employees to report any improper actions whenever found, and ensures that such reporting is made under the reporting system formulated by NIPPONKOA. NIPPONKOA also sets up a compliance desk in a specific third-party organization, to receive reports from anonymous persons when they find it difficult to report under NIPPONKOA’s own reporting system, and operates it as the “Internal Reporting Hotline System.” NIPPONKOA appropriately treats improper actions once they occur in accordance with its internal rules, and take disciplinary actions strictly and equally on such a officer or employee and his/her supervisor in accordance with the rules such as the Employment Rule and the Disciplinary Rule Regarding Executive Officers.
NIPPONKOA establishes the basic policy in the Compliance Rule that declares “NIPPONKOA addresses antisocial forces which threaten orders and safety of the society with an adamant attitude.” NIPPONKOA also formulates the Basic Policy to Prevent Injury caused by Antisocial Forces, and works to develop a internal system to execute such policy. NIPPONKOA also cooperates with lawyers, police, etc. to fight against antisocial forces.
The status of the progress of compliance, including the status of the execution of the foregoing, is reported regularly to the Board of Directors and the Management Committee.
Further, the Board of Directors, including independent directors, monitors to see whether the execution of duties by directors is in compliance with laws and ordinances and the Articles of Incorporation. The execution of duties by directors is also subject to the audit by corporate auditors.
209
(5) | Systems to ensure the reliability and properness of financial reporting |
NIPPONKOA establishes procedures for internal control pertaining to NIPPONKOA’s financial reporting. In doing so, NIPPONKOA complies with relevant laws and ordinances, as well as evaluations and auditing standards that are generally accepted as fair and reasonable and handle them appropriately under the supervision of the President.
Specifically, NIPPONKOA establishes a necessary structure regarding company-wide internal control system and the operational process control system pertaining to financial reporting, and develops a system to appropriately carry out the effective evaluation of its internal control system under the Internal Control Rule Regarding Financial Reporting, the Rule Regarding Securities Report and Confirmation Documents and other relevant regulations.
NIPPONKOA establishes the Internal Audit Department, which is independent from other organizational units, as an internal auditing unit.
The purpose of internal auditing conducted by the Internal Audit Department is to “investigate and evaluate the appropriateness and effectiveness of the internal control system as a whole, including the status of compliance with laws and ordinances and internal rules pertaining to the entire business of NIPPONKOA and the status of risk management, and thereby to ensure financial soundness and appropriate operations of NIPPONKOA.”
Internal auditing is conducted to inspect the sales division, the claims services division, the asset management division, and regional headquarters, and focuses on verifying compliance with laws and ordinances, the insurance solicitation management system and the risk management system. Internal auditing is also conducted to audit self-assessments of assets that have been retained to secure the financial soundness of the assets held by NIPPONKOA. The results of these audits are reported to the audited divisions, and NIPPONKOA implements follow-up audits to ensure the effectiveness of the improvement measures. The results of each audit are also regularly reported to the Board of Directors and the Management Committee.
In order to improve the quality of the administrative work performance in the sales division and the claims services division and to reduce the risk of improper actions arising from internal administrative duties, NIPPONKOA conducts administrative inspections and self-inspections on operations.
(7) | Systems to ensure the properness of operation of the business group comprised of NIPPONKOA and its subsidiaries |
The group as a whole and each group company will ensure proper business operation with the aim of improving corporate value based on the Corporate Philosophy and the Guiding Principles that are shared by the group companies.
NIPPONKOA will operate and manage its subsidiaries by, in addition to properly exercising its shareholder rights in each subsidiary, establishing regulations covering the operation and management of domestic insurance subsidiaries, domestic non-insurance subsidiaries, and overseas subsidiaries, having advance discussions on business plans and important business operations of each subsidiary, receiving appropriate reports from each subsidiary on matters such as financial details and business performance, and providing guidance and management to a department which is in charge of managing each subsidiary and the controlling departments that is involved with compliance and risk management. In order to ensure the effectiveness of the management by a department in charge, when necessary, a general manager of each such department will also serve as a part-time director of the supervised subsidiary.
The internal auditing department of NIPPONKOA will also ensure the properness of the businesses of the subsidiaries, to the extent permitted by law, by conducting direct audits and by receiving reports from the internal
210
auditing department of each subsidiary. In order to ensure that each overseas subsidiary complies with local laws, local accounting auditors will conduct external audits of each overseas subsidiary and NIPPONKOA will receive the results of each audit.
(8) | Systems for Ensuring the Effectiveness of Audit by Corporate Auditors |
(i) | Matters concerning employees who are required to assist corporate auditors in the performance of their duties |
NIPPONKOA establishes an exclusive secretariat for its corporate auditors and appoints at least one employee to exclusively perform the duties of that secretariat.
(ii) | Matters concerning the independence from directors of employees who are required to assist corporate auditors |
Each employee appointed to the Corporate Auditor Secretariat must perform his or her duties under the instructions and orders of the corporate auditors. NIPPONKOA also determines personnel matters such as relocation and evaluations of each employee appointed to the Corporate Auditor Secretariat upon due consultation with the Corporate Auditors.
(iii) | Reporting systems to corporate auditors by directors, executive officers, and employees |
(a) | Any director or executive officer who discovers with respect to the performance of his or her duties, any material fact that is in breach of any law or ordinances or the Articles of Incorporation of NIPPONKOA, any improper action, or any fact that is likely to give rise to significant damage to NIPPONKOA, is required to report immediately to the Board of Corporate Auditors. |
(b) | Each director, executive officer, and employee is required to report to the corporate auditors on matters discussed at Meetings of the Board of Directors and Management Meetings, the status of notifications through the internal notification hotline system, the status of compliance, the status of risk and risk management, and the results of internal audits conducted by the internal audit department. |
(c) | NIPPONKOA ensures there are opportunities for the corporate auditors to attend not only Meetings of the Board of Directors but also Management Meetings, the Compliance Committee, the Risk Management Committee, and any other meetings or committees where the Corporate Auditors determine it is necessary for them to attend. |
(iv) | Systems to ensure that other audits by corporate auditors are conducted effectively |
The following individuals must hold regular meetings with the corporate auditors:
(a) | Representative Directors |
(c) | Internal Auditing Department and Accounting Auditor |
(d) | Representatives and Corporate Auditors of Important Subsidiaries and Affiliates |

Notes to Non-consolidated Balance Sheet
1. | Accounting standards and methods for valuation of investments in securities are as follows: |
| (1) | Held-to-maturity bonds are carried at amortized cost. |
| (2) | Stocks of subsidiaries and affiliates are carried at cost determined by the moving-average method. |
| (3) | Marketable securities classified as available-for-sale are recorded according to their mark-to-market values based on the prices prevailing in the market on the balance sheet date. The unrealized gains/losses, net of tax, on the available-for-sale securities are recognized as a component of net assets. Cost for sale is calculated by the moving-average method. |
| (4) | Non-marketable securities classified as available-for-sale are recorded at cost determined by the moving-average method or the amortized cost method. |
2. | Securities included in individually managed money in trust are valued by the market value method. |
3. | Derivative transactions outstanding are accounted for by the market value method. |
4. | Depreciation of tangible fixed assets (excluding leased assets) is charged under application of the declining-balance method. However, the straight-line method is applied to buildings (excluding connected installations) acquired on or after April 1, 1998. |
5. | Reserve for doubtful accounts is provided under the application of the standards for asset self-assessment and the standards for write-offs and provisions as follows: |
For loans to borrowers that are bankrupt, under special liquidation procedures, barred from bill clearing transactions, or that are otherwise in a state of legal or virtual bankruptcy, a reserve is provided in the amount equivalent to such loans net of the expected realizable collateral value and the estimated recoverable guarantee value.
For loans to borrowers that are found to be facing a material risk of going into bankruptcy in the future, a reserve is provided in the amount equivalent to such loans net of the expected realizable collateral value and the estimated recoverable guarantee value, with further adjustments made as deemed necessary under consideration of such borrowers' overall repayment capabilities.
For all other loans, a reserve is provided based on the actual default ratios derived from the defaults observed during certain past periods.
Furthermore, the divisions in charge of respective portfolios of assets evaluate the entire loan portfolio according to the standards for asset self-assessment, and the internal independent inspection department audits the results of the divisional assessments. The provisions made as described above are based on those audit findings.
6. | Reserve for investment loss is provided for the probable investment losses mainly concerning securities transactions based on the standards for asset self-assessment and the standards for write-offs and provisions. |
7. | Reserve for retirement benefits is provided on the basis of estimated amounts of retirement benefit obligation and plan assets at the balance sheet date. Prior service cost is amortized by the straight-line method for a certain period (10 years) which shall not exceed the average remaining period of employees’ service. Any actuarial difference incurred in each year is amortized from the following year by the straight-line method for a certain period (10 years) which shall not exceed the average remaining period of employees' service. |
8. | Reserve for bonuses is provided on the basis of the estimated amount for payment at the end of the term. |
9. | Reserve for directors’ bonuses is provided on the basis of the estimated amount for payment at the end of the term. |
10. | Reserve for price fluctuations is provided in accordance with Article 115 of the Insurance Business Law for loss from price fluctuations of stocks and other securities. |
214
11. | Finance leases, other than those that are deemed to transfer the ownership of the leased assets to the lessees, those for which lease transactions took effect during a fiscal year that began prior to April 1, 2008, are accounted for by a method similar to the procedures used for ordinary operating leases. |
(Changes in Accounting Procedures)
Although finance leases other than those that are deemed to transfer the ownership of the leased assets to the lessees had been accounted for by a method similar to the procedures used for ordinary operating leases, “Accounting Standard for Lease Transactions (ASBJ Statement on Accounting Standard No. 13),” and “the Guidance on the Accounting Standards for Lease Transactions (ASBJ Implementation Guidance on Accounting Standard No. 16)” became applicable regarding the financial statements for the current fiscal year, thereby applying the same accounting treatment for lease transactions as that for regular purchase/sale transactions beginning with transactions that take effect during the current fiscal year. Compared with the previous method of accounting, the effect of this change on ordinary profit and income before income taxes is immaterial.
12. | The deferral hedge accounting method is applied to hedging transactions for interest rate swaps to hedge cash flow fluctuation risk of bonds and loans with variable interest rates and interest fluctuation risk related to long term insurance contracts based on “The accounting and auditing treatment on the application of the financial products accounting standard to the insurance industry”(Japanese Institute of Certified Public Accountants Industry Audit Practice Committee Report No.26, hereafter Industry Audit Practice Committee Report No.26). Where certain transactions fulfill the required conditions for the application of the exceptional treatment for interest rate swaps, this treatment is applied to such transactions. |
The fair value hedge accounting method is applied to foreign exchange forward contracts and currency option transactions in order to reduce the risk of foreign exchange rate fluctuation on foreign currency denominated assets. Where certain transactions fulfill the required conditions for the application of assignment accounting, this accounting is applied to such transactions.
Hedge effectiveness is judged by comparing the accumulated fluctuation of the market value or cash flows between each hedged item and the related hedging instrument for the period from the commencement of the hedge to the date of judgment. However, if the material conditions of the hedging instrument and the hedged item are the same and there is high effectiveness for each hedge transaction, the judgement for the effectiveness is omitted.
As for hedge effectiveness based on Industry Audit Practice Committee Report No.26, this is judged by monitoring the circumstance of the interest which effects the calculation of theoretical prices of both insurance debt as hedged item and interest rate swap as hedging instrument grouped by the remaining period.
13. | The accounting procedures applied are exclusive of consumption tax. However, loss adjustment expenses and operating and administrative expenses are treated inclusive of taxes. |
Consumption taxes on assets not qualified for deduction are recorded in “Other assets” and amortized in equal amounts over 5 years.
14. | The amount of ¥41,308 million of securities extended based on securities lending agreements has been included in government bonds. |
15. (1) | The Company’s loan portfolio contained “loans for bankrupt borrowers” in the amount of ¥11 million and “delinquent/overdue loans” in the amount of ¥1,695 million. |
“Loans for bankrupt borrowers” comprise loans in a status compliant with the criteria set forth in the pertaining items of Article 96, Clause 1 of the Enforcement Ordinance of Corporation Tax Law for which the accrual of interest income for accounting purposes has been discontinued (excluding written-off delinquent loans, hereafter called “non-accrual loans”), given that the collection or settlement of principal and/or interest cannot be expected for reasons like principal and/or interest payments remaining past due for a specific term.
215
“Delinquent/overdue loans” are non-accrual loans other than “loans for bankrupt borrowers” and loans subject to interest payment forbearance for the purpose of facilitating the restructuring of, or for supporting, the borrowers.
| (2) | There was no amount of “delinquent/overdue loans for three months or more” in the Company’s loan portfolio. |
“Delinquent/overdue loans for three months or more” consist of loans for which the principal and/or interest is past due three months or more counting from the first day after the contractual due date, but exclude “loans for bankrupt borrowers” and “delinquent/overdue loans”.
| (3) | The amount of “restructured loans” in the Company’s loan portfolio was ¥191 million. |
“Restructured loans” comprise loans for which the lending conditions have been relaxed to facilitate the restructuring or support of the borrowers, such as reduction or exemption of interest rate, forbearance of interest payments and/or principal repayment, waiver of claims and other measures to the favor of the borrowers, but exclude “loans for bankrupt borrowers”, “delinquent/overdue loans” and “delinquent/overdue loans for three months or more”.
| (4) | The aggregate of “loans for bankrupt borrowers”, “delinquent/overdue loans”, “delinquent/overdue loans for three months or more” and “restructured loans” totaled ¥1,897 million. |

Basis of presenting for Consolidated Financial Statements
1. | The method of making the consolidated financial statements |
The consolidated financial statements of the Company are made in accordance with the Corporate Accounting Rules (No. 13 of the Ministry of Justice ordinance in 2006) and Enforcement Regulations of the Insurance Business Law (No. 5 of the Ministry of Finance ordinance in 1996) implemented in relation to Article 118 of the Corporate Accounting Rules. The definitions of subsidiaries and affiliates are based on Article 2-3 of the Order for Enforcement of the Insurance Business Law Rules (No. 425 of the government ordinance in 1995).
(1) | Consolidated subsidiaries (6) |
NIPPONKOA Life Insurance Company Limited
SONPO 24 Insurance Company Limited
Nippon Insurance Company of Europe Limited
NIPPONKOA Insurance Company (Europe) Limited
NIPPONKOA Insurance Company (Asia) Limited
NIPPONKOA Management Services (Europe) Limited
(2) | Major non-consolidated subsidiaries |
(Major non-consolidated subsidiary)
NIPPONKOA Claims Adjustment Company Limited
(Basis of non-consolidation)
Where the exclusion of subsidiaries from the scope of consolidation, by reason of the immateriality of their total assets, sales, net income and retained earnings, does not affect the reasonable interpretation of the financial position and operating results of an enterprise group, then those subsidiaries may be excluded from the scope of consolidation.
3. | Application of equity method |
The equity method of accounting for investments in common shares of 17 non-consolidated subsidiaries and 4 affiliates has not been applied because the effect to consolidated net income and retained earnings are minor and those are also immaterial in the aggregate.
4. | Term-ends of consolidated foreign subsidiaries |
Consolidated foreign subsidiaries are included on the basis of fiscal years ending on December 31, since the difference in the fiscal year ends does not exceed three months. As for major transactions occurring between the fiscal year ends of the consolidated foreign subsidiaries and the Company, necessary adjustments are made upon consolidation.
5. | Summary of significant accounting policies |
(1) | Accounting standards and methods for valuation of investments in securities held by the Company and its domestic consolidated subsidiaries are as follows: |

The outline of risk management policy in relation to underwriting reserves bonds is as follows.
NIPPONKOA Life Insurance Company Limited sets up “policy reserve for single-premium whole-life” as a sub-category, and follows the management policy to match the duration of the policy reserve in the sub-category with the duration of underwriting reserves bonds corresponding to this sub-category within a certain range, to better manage the changes in the interest rate risk associated with the assets and liabilities.
| iii. | Stocks of subsidiaries and affiliates are carried at cost determined by the moving-average method. |
| iv. | Marketable securities classified as available-for-sale are recorded according to their mark-to-market values based on the prices prevailing in the market on the balance sheet date.

(3) | Accounting standards and methods in valuation of derivative transactions |
Derivative transactions outstanding are accounted for by the market value method.
(4) | The method of depreciation of tangible fixed assets |
Depreciation of tangible fixed assets (excluding leased assets) held by the Company and its domestic consolidated subsidiaries are charged under application of the declining-balance method. However, the straight-line method is applied to buildings (excluding connected installations) acquired on or after April 1, 1998.
| i. | Reserve for doubtful accounts |
Reserve for doubtful accounts of the Company and its domestic consolidated subsidiaries is provided under the application of the standards for asset self-assessment and the standards for write-offs and provisions as follows:
For loans to borrowers that are bankrupt, under special liquidation procedures, barred from bill clearing transactions, or that are otherwise in a state of legal or virtual bankruptcy, a reserve is provided in the amount equivalent to such loans net of the expected realizable collateral value and the estimated recoverable guarantee value.
For loans to borrowers that are found to be facing a material risk of going into bankruptcy in the future, a reserve is provided in the amount equivalent to such loans net of the expected realizable collateral value and the estimated recoverable guarantee value, with further adjustments made as deemed necessary under consideration of such borrowers' overall repayment capabilities.
231
For all other loans, a reserve is provided based on the actual default ratios derived from the defaults observed during certain past periods.
Furthermore, the divisions in charge of respective portfolios of assets evaluate the entire loan portfolio according to the standards for asset self-assessment, and the internal independent inspection department audits the results of the divisional assessments. The provisions made as described above are based on those audit findings.
| ii. | Reserve for investment loss |
Reserve for investment loss of the Company and its domestic consolidated subsidiaries is provided for the probable investment losses mainly concerning securities transactions based on the standards for asset self-assessment and the standards for write-offs and provisions.
| iii. | Reserve for retirement benefits |
Reserve for retirement benefits of the Company and its domestic consolidated subsidiaries is provided on the basis of estimated amounts of retirement benefit obligation and plan assets at the balance sheet date. Prior service cost is amortized by the straight-line method for a certain period (10 years) which shall not exceed the average remaining period of employees' service. Any actuarial difference incurred in each year is amortized from the following year by the straight-line method for a certain period (10 years) which shall not exceed the average remaining period of employees' service.
Reserve for bonuses of the Company and its domestic consolidated subsidiaries is provided on the basis of the estimated amount for payment at the end of the term.
| v. | Reserve for directors’ bonuses |
Reserve for directors’ bonuses of the Company and its domestic consolidated subsidiaries is provided on the basis of the estimated amount for payment at the end of the term.
| vi. | Reserve for price fluctuations |
Reserve for price fluctuations of the Company and its domestic consolidated subsidiaries is provided in accordance with Article 115 of the Insurance Business Law for loss from price fluctuations of stocks and other securities.
(6) | The accounting procedure for consumption tax |
The accounting procedures applied are exclusive of consumption tax. However, loss adjustment expenses and operating and administrative expenses are treated inclusive of taxes. Consumption taxes on assets not qualified for deduction are recorded in “Other assets” and amortized in equal amounts over 5 years.
(7) | Accounting standards of important finance leases |
The Company’s finance leases, other than those that are deemed to transfer the ownership of the leased assets to the lessees, those for which lease transactions took effect during a consolidated fiscal year that began prior to April 1, 2008, are accounted for by a method similar to the procedures used for ordinary operating leases.
232
(Changes in Accounting Procedures)
Although the Company’s finance leases other than those that are deemed to transfer the ownership of the leased assets to the lessees had been accounted for by a method similar to the procedures used for ordinary operating leases, “Accounting Standard for Lease Transactions (ASBJ Statement on Accounting Standard No. 13),” and “the Guidance on the Accounting Standards for Lease Transactions (ASBJ Implementation Guidance on Accounting Standard No. 16)” became applicable regarding the financial statements for consolidated fiscal years beginning on or after April 1, 2008. The Company has adopted the Accounting Standard and the Guidance for the current fiscal year, thereby applying the same accounting treatment for lease transactions as that for regular purchase/sale transactions. The effect of this change on ordinary loss and income before income taxes and minority interests is immaterial.
(8) | Accounting standards of important hedging transactions |
The deferral hedge accounting method is applied to hedging transactions for interest rate swaps to hedge cash flow fluctuation risk of bonds and loans with variable interest rates and interest fluctuation risk related to long term insurance contracts based on “The accounting and auditing treatment on the application of the financial products accounting standard to the insurance industry” (Japanese Institute of Certified Public Accountants Industry Audit Practice Committee Report No. 26, hereafter Industry Audit Practice Committee Report No. 26). Where certain transactions fulfill the required conditions for the application of the exceptional treatment for interest rate swaps, this treatment is applied to such transactions.
The fair value hedge accounting method is applied to foreign exchange forward contracts and currency option transactions in order to reduce the risk of foreign exchange rate fluctuation on foreign currency denominated assets. Where certain transactions fulfill the required conditions for the application of assignment accounting, this accounting is applied to such transactions.
Hedge effectiveness is judged by comparing the accumulated fluctuation of the market value or cash flows between each hedged item and the related hedging instrument for the period from the commencement of the hedge to the date of judgment. However, if the material conditions of the hedging instrument and the hedged item are the same and there is high effectiveness for each hedge transaction, the judgement for the effectiveness is omitted.
As for hedge effectiveness based on Industry Audit Practice Committee Report No. 26, this is judged by monitoring the circumstance of the interest which effects the calculation of theoretical prices of both insurance debt as hedged item and interest rate swap as hedging instrument grouped by the remaining period.
(9) | Accounting principles and practices for consolidated foreign subsidiaries |
Accounting principles and practices for consolidated foreign subsidiaries conform to International Financial Reporting Standards.
(Changes in Accounting Procedures)
Effective from the current consolidated fiscal year, the Company has adopted Practical Solution on Unification of Accounting Policies Applied to Foreign Subsidiaries for Consolidated Financial Statements (ASBJ PITF No. 18). As a result, the Company made the necessary revisions in the settlement of accounts for the consolidated financial statements. The effect of this change on ordinary loss and income before income taxes and minority interests is immaterial.
6. | Valuation of assets and liabilities of consolidated subsidiaries |
All of the consolidated subsidiaries’ assets and liabilities were valued at fair value as of the respective acquisition dates.
233
7. | Amortization of Goodwill |
The difference between cost and fair value of net assets acquired for SONPO 24 Insurance Company Limited is amortized over 5 years by the straight line method and the difference for other subsidiaries is charged or credited to the statements of income in the year of acquisition.

Q&A concerning Business Integration
Please read the following which we have prepared in a question and answer format with respect to an overview of the business integration of the Company and NIPPONKOA, as well as those matters about which we believe our shareholders may have concerns.
Q1. | What is a “formation of joint holding company by a method of Share Exchange (kabushiki-iten)”? |
A. | The Share Exchange (kabushiki-iten) means a method of integration in which one or more companies incorporate a new company which will acquire all of the issued shares of such one or more companies. |
In this business integration, the Company and NIPPONKOA will jointly incorporate NKSJ Holdings, Inc. (hereinafter the “Holding Company”), which shall be the wholly owning parent company of Both Companies and shall acquire entire issued shares of Both Companies. In exchange for such acquisition, shares in the Holding Company will be allotted to the shareholders registered in the respective final shareholder registry of Both Companies at the end of the day immediately preceding the date of incorporation of the Holding Company. Further, as a result of the business integration, a delisting of the common shares of the Company and of NIPPONKOA is scheduled to be effected and the commons shares of the Holding Company are scheduled to be listed in turn.

| |
April 1, 2010 (scheduled) | | Date of Registration of Incorporation of the Holding Company (Effective Date of Share Exchange) |
| Date of Listing of the Holding Company (Tokyo Stock Exchange and Osaka Securities Exchange) |
244
Q2. | How is a Business Integration different from Merger? |
A. | The Company and NIPPONKOA will continue to exist as wholly owned subsidiary companies of the Holding Company. |
We believe that having Both Companies coexist under the joint holding company will be an effective means in order to achieve the integration effects in as rapid a fashion as possible, without the confusion arising from the merger.
Q3. | What will happen to the shares of the Company currently owned by shareholders? |
A. | As a result of the Share Exchange, the trading of shares of the Company will be suspended as of the date of delisting (scheduled to be March 29, 2010). Shares in the Holding Company will be allotted to the shareholders registered on the final shareholder registry as of the end of the day immediately preceding the date of incorporation of the Holding Company (Date of incorporation is scheduled to be April 1, 2010). As for the ratio of allotment, one share of common stock of the Holding Company will be allotted to each share of common stock of the Company. |
Q4. | What will be the number of unit for trading in shares of the Holding Company? |
A. | The Trading Unit of shares in the Holding Company will be 1,000. |
Q5. | What is an “Exchange Plan (kabushiki-iten-keikaku)”? |
A. | In order to effect a Share Exchange, an exchange plan is required to be prepared. The exchange plan must provide for certain prescribed matters, such as the objectives, company name, location of head office and total number of the authorized shares to be issued of the Company to be incorporated through a share exchange. |
The Company and NIPPONKOA have jointly prepared the Exchange Plan in order to implement the Business Integration. The contents of the Exchange Plan are stated on pages 30 through 194 hereof (Note: pages 27 through 183 of English translation).
Q6. | How the Share Exchange Ratio was decided? |
A. | Both companies decided the share exchange ratio by calculation of corporate value of Both Companies and taking into consideration, inter alia, the advice of outside advisors, in order to ensure the fairness and properness of the share exchange ratio. |
Calculation basis and other matters concerning Share Exchange Ratio are stated in pages 6 through 14 hereof (Note: pages 5 through 12 of English translation).
Q7. | Why is the allotment that is to be made of share options of the Holding Company in the same quantity as the share options issued by Both Companies? |
A. | The share options have been respectively issued by Both Companies to the directors and executive officers pursuant to resolution of shareholders meeting and other necessary procedures, for the purpose of incentivizing directors and executive officers towards higher stock prices and improving business performance, and to further promote management which emphasizes shareholder value and corporate value. In association with the Share Exchange, each holder of a share option in either of Both Companies will receive an allotment of a share option of the Holding Company which is effectively of the same content and in the same quantity as the share option owned by such holder prior to the effective date of the Share Exchange, which allotment is to be made with a view towards equal protection of the rights of shareholders of Both Companies and holders of share options of Both Companies. |
245
The quantity of share options to be allotted is stated on pages 32 through 35 hereof (Note: pages 30 through 32 of English translation). Stock options that were issued by Both Companies in the past will be succeeded to the Holding Company.
Q8. | Half of candidates for directors are candidates for outside directors. Why so many? |
A. | In order to achieve a corporate governance structure with high fairness and transparency, it has been decided that half of candidates for directors shall be those for outside directors. |
The candidates for outside directors have been selected from various perspectives such as consumers, global development, corporate legal functions and management of assets.
Q9. | What will happen to Dividends? |
A. | It is planned that the Company will pay a dividend of surplus (term-end surplus) in respect of the 67th Business Year (from April 1, 2009 to March 31, 2010), up to 20 yen per share, to the shareholders or registered share pledgees registered in the final shareholder registry as at the end of March 31, 2010. |
A statement concerning the Dividend of Surplus is on page 35 hereof (Note: page 32 of English translation).
Q10. | What will be the effects of the Business Integration? |
A. | The business integration will enhance management efficiency by actions such as reinforcing the base of operations that Both Companies have cultivated, as well as working to integrate administrative processes and IT systems, and implementing a “Structural System Reform” which will constitute a complete overhaul of the IT system infrastructure and architecture. |
Further, we will strive to enhance corporate value, by making the best use of management resources of Both Companies and investing into business areas with growth potential.
Q11. | Please discuss the Business Plan after the Business Integration |
| | | | |
A. | | i. | | In the domestic non-life insurance sector, we intend to enhance operational efficiency by achieving the realization of effects of integration through unification of products, administrative processes and IT systems and to provide products and services of high quality which fit the needs of customers. |
| | |
| | ii. | | In the life insurance sector, we intend to increase the growth potential of life insurance businesses through merging the subsidiaries of Both Companies within two years from the integration and by strategically deploying the New Group’s management resources. |
| | |
| | iii. | | In the overseas insurance sector, expansion of businesses will be pursued mainly through mergers and acquisitions in overseas insurance business markets with favorable prospects for rapid growth and profitability. |
| | |
| | iv. | | In addition we plan to merge and integrate the subsidiaries of Both Companies that are engaged in the asset management and risk management businesses, thereby improving the efficiency and growth prospects in these sectors. |
Q12. | Please discuss the Management Structure of the Holding Company. |
A. | The Holding Company will be a company with a board of company auditors. |
A Nomination and Compensation Committee and an Investment Committee will be established as an advisory body to the board of directors.

Q13. | What is the situation of the results in the current period? |
A. | In the interim settlement of the business year ending in March 2010, the Company experienced the effects of a deterioration in the market environment including a decline in the number of automobiles held and declined distribution within Japan, as well as the impact of the compulsory automobile liability insurance for which rates were cut in the previous fiscal year, with net premiums written falling by 33.2 billion yen against the same period of the previous year (and a decline of 14.7 billion yen over the same period exclusive of compulsory automobile liability insurance). |
| Net claims paid also fell by 9.0 billion yen against the same period of the previous year, excluding the financial guarantee insurance. This is the result of the impact from natural disasters having been less than predicted. Including financial guarantee insurance, net claims paid increased by 50.1 billion yen against the same period of the previous year. Insurance payments of the financial guarantee insurance were made from the reserve for outstanding losses and claims already recorded by the end of the previous period, and additional losses have not occurred. |
| In addition, operating expenses fell by 8.7 billion yen against the same period of the previous year. |
| As a result, the underwriting profit increased by 13.9 billion yen against the same period of the previous year to 18.2 billion yen for this interim period. |
| The gross profit on asset management declined 8.2 billion yen against the same period of the previous year to 19.2 billion yen, as a result of lower interest and dividend income as well as a decline in realized gains on sales of securities. |
| As a result of the above, the ordinary profit was 32.1 billion yen (an increase of 2.8 billion yen against the same period of the previous year). The interim net income was 30.7 billion yen (an increase of 13.5 billion yen against the same period of the previous year) mainly due to the special gains of 15.0 billion yen as a result of establishment of the retirement benefits trust in order to assure its employees’ retirement benefits. |
| On a consolidated basis, the ordinary profit was 31.8 billion yen (consolidated/non-consolidated ratio of 0.99) and the interim net income was 29.3 billion yen (consolidated/non-consolidated ratio of 0.96). This was a result of the impact of factors such as the lower profits of Sompo Japan Himawari Life Insurance Co., Ltd. |
