Press Release (May 22,2014) Financial Support from the Nuclear Damage Liability Facilitation Fund

Today, we have received 175.9 billion yen from the Nuclear Damage Liability Facilitation Fund (hereafter the Fund) based on the revised Special Business Plan (New Comprehensive Special Business Plan) approved on January 15, 2014.

This financial support was given in response to the 28th request made in order to cover the compensation payouts up until the end of June 2014, as the sum of the compensation received in accordance with the "Act on Contract for Indemnification of Nuclear Damage Compensation" (120 billion yen) and the financial support provided by the Fund (3.8788 trillion yen) will not be sufficient for the amount of payouts estimated to be required by that time.

With the financial support received from the Fund, we will continue our utmost efforts in implementing the "compensation payouts with courtesy and compassion" in consideration of those afflicted by the nuclear damage.
