SANKYO CO., LTD. (the Company) today announced that details of pending items were determined in connection with the issuance of subscription rights to shares as stock compensation-type stock options based on the resolution of the Company's board of directors made on July 4, 2014 to directors and operating officers of the Company and to directors of the Company's subsidiaries. Details are described below.

2. Total number of subscription rights to shares

3. Class and number of shares to be issued upon exercise of subscription rights to shares
87,100 shares of the Company's common stock
4. Amount to be paid in for the subscription rights to shares

A person who receives allotment of subscription rights to shares (hereinafter referred to as the "holder of subscription rights to shares") offsets payment of the said amount to be paid in with the monetary claim against the Company* and thus is not required to pay any money.
*Such monetary claim is issued by the Company to a holder of subscription rights to shares at its discretion in the amount
equal to the amount to be paid in for the subscription rights to shares or is issued by a subsidiary of the Company to a holder of subscription rights to shares at its discretion in the amount equal to the amount to be paid in for the subscription rights to shares and is assumed by the Company. Such monetary claim is not compensation for labor and internal rules of the Company or the Company's subsidiaries hold neither the Company nor the Company's subsidiaries liable for payment.
