fiscal year 2027;
(5)

The SEC requires that the bondholders’ representative analyze the
benefits and shortcomings as well as the potential impacts on the bondholders
both in cases of approval and decline of approval for the above matters with
respective supporting reasons and the opinions of the bondholders’
representative. The bondholders are, therefore, encouraged to thoroughly review
the information and exercise their rights to protect their own interests. They
should also make necessary inquiries to the bondholders’ representative to
obtain comprehensive information before making a voting decision at the
bondholders’ e-meeting.
