Notice Concerning the Cancellation of Treasury Shares (pursuant to the provision of Article 178 of the Company Act)

At a meeting held on May 27, 2016, the Board of Directors of FANUC CORPORATION resolved to cancel its treasury shares as stated below based on our shareholder return policy announced in April 2015.

1. Content of the cancellation

2. Class of shares to be cancelled : Common shares

3. Number of shares to be cancelled : 1,869,500 shares

   (0.91% of the shares outstanding before cancellation)

4. Date of cancellation : June 8, 2016

5. Reason for the cancellation

   After we canceled our treasury shares in June 2015, we carried out share buybacks pursuant to Article 165 of the Company Act and purchases of the shares less than one unit. As a result, the number of our treasury shares increased. For the above mentioned reasons, we will cancel a portion of our treasury shares based on our policy, "We aim to limit the number of our treasury shares to a maximum of 5% of the total number of issued shares. We will, as a general rule, cancel any portion exceeding this limit every fiscal year."
