Press Release (Dec 24,2014) Financial Support from the Nuclear Damage Compensation and Decommissioning Facilitation Corporation

We inform here that we received 75.5 billion yen from the Nuclear Damage Compensation and Decommissioning Facilitation Corporation (hereinafter referred to as NDF) based on the revised Special Business Plan, the New Comprehensive Special Business Plan, which was approved on August 8, 2014.

This financial support was given in response to the 35th request we made in order to cover the compensation payouts due by the end of January 2015, as the amount of the payouts to be paid by that time had been estimated to exceed the sum of the compensation we have received in accordance with the "Act on Contract for Indemnification of Nuclear Damage Compensation" (120 billion yen) and the financial support the NDF has provided( 4.4582 trillion yen ).

Receiving the financial support provided by the NDF, we are determined to continue to pay the compensation with courtesy and compassion to all of those who have been afflicted by the nuclear damage.
