Regarding the Next Medium-Term Management Plan

In our results briefing materials announced on Wednesday, May 10, 2017, we indicated that we planned to announce our next medium-term management plan at the end of March 2018. However, we now intend to release the plan at the same time as our announcement of financial results on Wednesday, May 9, 2018 (announcement timing scheduled for 3pm).

We ask our shareholders and all other stakeholders for your understanding on this matter.
