This share exchange is made for the securities of a Japanese company. This share exchange is subject to disclosure requirements of Japan that are different from those of the United States. Financial information included in this notice has been prepared in accordance with generally accepted Japanese accounting standards and may not be comparable to the financial statements of United States companies.

It may be difficult for you to enforce your rights and any claim you may have arising under the U.S. federal securities laws, since the issuer is located in a foreign country, and some or all of its officers are residents of a foreign country. You may not be able to sue a foreign company or its officers in a foreign court for violations of the U.S. securities laws. It may be difficult to compel a foreign company and its affiliates to subject themselves to a U.S. court's judgment.

You should be aware that the issuer may purchase securities otherwise than pursuant to the share exchange agreement, such as in open market or privately negotiated purchases.
