The proposal will be presented at its 103rd Ordinary General Shareholders' Meeting of TMC ('103rd Shareholders' Meeting') to be held on June 22, 2007 and we hereby inform you as follows. In addition, if the agendum 'Election of Thirty (30) Directors' is approved at the same Ordinary General Shareholders' Meeting, there will be thirty (30) Directors who will receive allotment of the Stock Acquisition Rights, and the maximum number of Stock Acquisition Rights to be allotted to the Directors of TMC shall be 10,200, considering the number of Stock Acquisition Rights granted for the purpose of existing stock options and other various factors. 1. Reason for Issue of Stock Acquisition Rights without Consideration TMC will issue Stock Acquisition Rights to Directors, Managing Officers and employees, etc. of TMC and its affiliates in order to enhance enthusiasm and raise morale for improving business performance and thereby contribute to strengthening TMC's international competitiveness. 2. Summary of Terms of Issue of Stock Acquisition Rights (1) Grantees of the Stock Acquisition Rights Directors, Managing Officers and employees, etc. of TMC and its affiliates. (2) Type and Number of Shares to be Issued or Transferred upon Exercise of Stock Acquisition Rights Up to 3,500,000 shares of common stock of TMC. Provided, however, that if the number of shares to be issued or transferred upon exercise of each Stock Acquisition Right is adjusted in accordance with (3) below, such number of shares to be issued or transferred shall be adjusted to the number obtained by multiplying the number of shares after adjustment by the total number of Stock Acquisition Rights to be offered. (3) Total Number of Stock Acquisition Rights Up to 35,000 The number of shares for purposes of Stock Acquisition Rights shall be 100; provided, however, that if TMC splits its shares (including the allotment of common stock to shareholders without consideration; hereinafter the same shall apply) or consolidates its shares after the allotment date of the Stock Acquisition Rights ('Allotment Date'), the number of shares to be issued or transferred upon exercise of each Stock Acquisition Right shall be adjusted according to the following formula. Number of shares after = Number of shares x Ratio of split adjustment before adjustment (or consolidation) The adjustment above shall be made only to the unexercised rights remaining at the relevant time. If any fraction less than one (1) share arises as a result of such adjustment, such fraction shall be discarded. (4) Amount Paid for Issuance of Stock Acquisition Rights No monetary payment shall be required for Stock Acquisition Rights for which the determination of the terms and conditions of the offering can be delegated to the Board of Directors, at this year's Ordinary General Shareholders' Meeting. (5) Amount of Assets to be Paid upon Exercise of Stock Acquisition Rights The amount of assets to be paid upon exercise of each Stock Acquisition Right shall be the amount obtained by multiplying the amount to be paid per share issued or transferred upon exercise of Stock Acquisition Rights (the 'Exercise Price') by the Number of Shares Granted. The Exercise Price shall be as follows. The amount obtained by multiplying the closing price of TMC's common stock in regular trading on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on the Allotment Date (if there is no transaction made on that day, then the closing price of the latest date prior to the Allotment Date on which a transaction was made) by 1.025, and any fraction less than one (1) yen arising therefrom shall be rounded up to the nearest one (1) yen. In addition, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted as follows: (i) If TMC splits or consolidates its shares after the Allotment Date, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted according to the following formula, and any fraction less than one (1) yen arising therefrom shall be rounded up to the nearest one (1) yen. Exercise Price = Exercise Price x 1 after adjustment before adjustment Ratio of split (or consolidation) (ii) If TMC issues common stock or sells treasury stock of the common stock at a price below the market price after the Allotment Date, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted according to the following formula, and any fraction less than one (1) yen arising therefrom shall be rounded up to the nearest one (1) yen. No adjustment shall be made, however, in the event that Stock Acquisition Rights are exercised. Exercise Price Exercise Price Number of + Number of shares X Amount to be after adjustment = before adjustment X outstanding shares newly issued paid per share ____________________________________ Market price ____________________________________________________________ Number of + Number of shares newly issued outstanding shares 'Number of outstanding shares' provided for in the above formula does not include the number of shares held by TMC as treasury stock and in the case where the treasury stock is to be sold, 'Number of shares newly issued' shall be read as 'Number of shares of treasury stock to be sold.'
