However, since shares in quantities of less than one unit and the Target Company Shares issued or delivered as a result of exercising the Share Options are also subject to the purchase, for the purpose of calculating the "share ownership ratio before the purchase" and the "share ownership ratio after the purchase," the number of voting rights (3,728,621 voting rights) pertaining to the number of shares (372,862,105 shares) obtained by deducting (a) from (b) was used as the denominator, wherein (a) is the number of treasury shares owned by the Target Company as of September 30, 2020, as stated in the Second Quarter Summary of Financial Statements (390,470 shares), and (b) is obtained by adding the number of the Target Company Shares (376,356 shares) subject to the Share Options (1,588 share options) as of May 31, 2020, as stated in the Securities Report to the total number of issued shares of the Target Company Shares as of September 30, 2020, as stated in the Second Quarter Summary of Financial Statements (372,876,219 shares).
