(b) | In addition to the events set forth above, if an adjustment of the acquisition price (including the Acquisition Floor Price) is required by virtue of any amalgamation or merger, capital reduction, or consolidation of Ordinary Shares, etc., the acquisition price shall be adjusted to such price as the Board of Directors of the Bank determines appropriate. |

(a) (ii) above, the record date set for the stock split or free allotment of Ordinary Shares to shareholders), calculated to the second decimal place denominated in yen and rounded up to the first decimal place when the fraction beyond it is equal to or more than 0.05 yen, discarding amounts less than 0.05 yen. |
If any of the events of adjustment of acquisition price as set forth in c. (a) or (b) above occurs during the above forty-five (45) trading day period, the average price above shall be adjusted in a manner consistent with c. (a) or (b) above. |

(f) | The “Subscription price per share” in the Acquisition Price Adjustment Formula means (1) in the event that the Bank issues or transfers Ordinary Shares with a subscription price less than the current market price as set forth in c. (a) (i) above, such subscription price (in the event that payment thereof is made by any consideration other than cash, the fair value of such consideration), (2) in the event that the Bank splits Ordinary Shares or conducts free allotment of Ordinary Shares as set forth in c.
