(b) Calculation background
In determining the Tender Offer Price, the Company considered that it would be desirable to (i) use the market price of
the Companys common stock as a basis, from the perspective of emphasizing the clarity and objectivity of the basis, and (ii) to repurchase treasury shares at a price discounted to a certain extent from the market price to prevent the
outflow of assets from the Company to the extent possible, from the perspective of respecting the interests of the shareholders who will continue to hold the Companys common stock without tendering in the Tender Offer. Based on the above, on
June 25, 2024, the Company made a proposal to MS&AD, Tokio Marine, MUFG, and SMFG regarding the tendering of the 290,122,345 shares (shareholding ratio as of May 31, 2024: 2.15%), a portion of 975,520,215 shares of the Companys
common stock (shareholding ratio as of May 31, 2024: 7.24%), which is the sum of 94,690,635 shares (shareholding ratio as of May 31, 2024: 0.70%), a portion of the Companys common stock held by Mitsui Sumitomo Insurance (284,071,835
shares) (shareholding ratio as of May 31, 2024: 2.11%), 5,158,520 shares (shareholding ratio as of May 31, 2024: 0.04%), a portion of the Companys common stock held by Aioi Nissay Dowa (15,475,420 shares) (shareholding ratio as of
May 31, 2024: 0.11%), 85,107,800 shares (shareholding ratio as of May 31, 2024: 0.63%), a portion of the Companys common stock held by Tokio Marine & Nichido (255,323,570 shares) (shareholding ratio as of May 31, 2024:
1.90%), 44,950,905 shares (shareholding ratio as of May 31, 2024: 0.33%), a portion of the Companys common stock held by MUFG Bank (214,430,905 shares) (shareholding ratio as of May 31, 2024: 1.59%), all of the Companys common
stock held by MUTB (11,546,010 shares) (shareholding ratio as of May 31, 2024: 0.09%), and 48,668,475 shares (shareholding ratio as of May 31, 2024: 0.36%), a portion of the 194,672,475 shares (shareholding ratio as of May 31, 2024:
1.45%), which is the sum of the Companys common stock held by SMBC (188,057,475 shares) (shareholding ratio as of May 31, 2024: 1.40%), and SMBC Nikko Securities (6,615,000 shares) (shareholding ratio as of May 31, 2024: 0.05%), in
the Tender Offer if the Company conducts a tender offer at a price discounted 10% from the lower of (i) the closing price of the Companys common stock on the TSE Prime Market on July 22, 2024, i.e., the business day immediately
preceding the date of the board of directors meeting at which a resolution was made to conduct the Tender Offer, and (ii) the simple average closing price of the Companys common stock for the past one month up to the same day. With
respect to the discount rate, of the 45 Reference Cases, in 39 cases (excluding 5 cases in which a premium was set, and 1 case in which the tender offer price was determined using a share valuation report) (of which a discount rate of less than 5%
was set in 0 cases, a discount rate of 5% or more and less than 10% was set in 2 cases, a discount rate of 10% (including those that were approximately 10%) was set in 28 cases, and a discount rate of 11% or more was set in 9 cases), the most common
discount rate was 10%. By reference to this, the Company considered the discount rate of 10% was general and at a reasonable level, and determined the discount rate to be set at this rate. Furthermore, with respect to the price of the Companys
common stock that is the basis of the discount, the Company considered that using a more recent share price would more fully reflect the latest performance of the Company. Accordingly, the Company considered it reasonable, and thus determined, to
set the price at the lower of (i) the closing price of the Company on the TSE Prime Market on July 22, 2024, and (ii) the simple average closing price of the Companys common stock for the past one month up to the same day, which
is a shorter period than the past three months and six months up to July 22, 2024. As a result, the Company received responses from MS&AD, Tokio Marine & Nichido, and MUFG on June 28, 2024, and from SMFG on July 5, 2024,
that if the Company conducts the Tender Offer on such terms, they will tender, in the Tender Offer, 290,122,345 shares (shareholding ratio as of May 31, 2024: 2.15%), a portion of the 975,520,215 shares of the Companys common stock
(shareholding ratio as of May 31, 2024: 7.24%) held by the Prospective Tendering Shareholders as of today.
Based on
the considerations and discussions above, as of today, by way of a written resolution in lieu of the board of directors resolution pursuant to Article 370 of the Companies Act and the provisions of the Companys articles of incorporation,
given that the closing price of the Companys common stock was 3,090 yen on July 22, 2024, i.e., the business day immediately preceding the date of the board of directors resolution (July 23, 2024), and the simple average closing
price of the Companys common stock was 3,261 yen for the past one month up to July 22, 2024, after confirming that the lower of the two prices was 3,090 yen, the closing price of the Companys common stock on July 22, 2024, the
Company resolved: to repurchase treasury shares pursuant to the provisions of Article 156, Paragraph 1 of the Companies Act as applied mutatis mutandis pursuant to the provisions of Article 165, Paragraph 3 of the Companies Act and the
Companys articles of incorporation; to conduct the Tender Offer as the specific method thereof; and to set the Tender Offer Price at 2,781 yen, which will be calculated by applying a 10% discount rate to the closing price of the Companys
common stock on the TSE Prime Market on July 22, 2024, i.e., the business day before the date of the board of directors meeting at which a resolution was made to conduct the Tender Offer. In addition, in respect of the number of shares to
be purchased in the Tender Offer, it is necessary to minimize the outflow of assets from the Company and thus the Company resolved to set it at 290,122,345 shares (shareholding ratio as of June 30, 2024: 2.15 %), which was the number of shares
that MS&AD, Tokio Marine & Nichido, MUFG, and SMFG responded they will tender. Also, because there is a possibility that the number of tendered shares will exceed the number of shares to be purchased, as a result of adjusting the number
of shares constituting less than one unit using the pro rata method if there are applications to tender in the Tender Offer exceeding the number of shares to be purchased, the Company resolved to set the upper limit at 290,122,445 shares
(shareholding ratio as of June 30, 2024: 2.15%), which is calculated by adding one unit (100 shares) to the number of shares to be purchased in the Tender Offer.
