Note 2. The Secondary Offering by way of over-allotment

 

The offering by way of over-allotment is a secondary offering of 65,000 shares to be borrowed by Daiwa Securities SMBC Co. Ltd. from the Company’s shareholder after taking into account the market demand for the offering by way of underwriting.

 

Relating to the above, Daiwa Securities SMBC Co. Ltd. will have an option to purchase additional common stock of the Company from the shareholder up to the number of shares to be sold in the offering by way of over-allotment (“Greenshoe Option”). Such option will be effective between January 22, 2005 (Saturday) and February 18, 2005 (Friday).

 

Daiwa Securities SMBC Co. Ltd. may conduct stabilizing transactions with regard to common stock of the Company during the application period for the offering by way of underwriting and the offering by way of over-allotment. Shares purchased through such stabilizing transactions may be used to return borrowed shares.

 

Daiwa Securities SMBC Co. Ltd. may also purchase common stock of the Company (“Syndicate Cover Transaction”) on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, Inc., up to the number of shares to be sold in the offering by way of over-allotment. Such purchases will be made between January 22, 2005 (Saturday) and February 18, 2005 (Friday). Shares purchased through the Syndicate Cover Transaction will be used to return borrowed shares.

 

If the shares Daiwa Securities SMBC Co. Ltd. obtain through the two transactions described above are not sufficient to return all the borrowed shares, Daiwa Securities SMBC Co. Ltd. intends to exercise the Greenshoe Option for the number of shares to be sold in the offering by way of over-allotment less the shares obtained through the two transactions described above.
