Registeredcredit rating agencies are also subject to supervision by the Financial Services Agency, including orders to submit information, onsite inspections and business improvement orders.

Assumptions, Significance and Limitations of the Rating

S&P:

Credit ratings assigned by S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”) are opinions of the future credit quality of specific issuers or issues as of the date they are expressed, and it is not an index which shows the probability of the occurrence of the failure to pay by the issuers or aparticular debt, and do not guarantee the credit worthiness. Credit ratings are not a recommendation to purchase, sell or hold any securities, or a statement of market liquidity or prices in the secondary market of any issues.

Credit ratings may change depending on various factors, including issuers' performance, changes in external environment, performance of underlying assets, creditworthiness of counterparties and others. S&P conducts rating analysis based on information itbelieves to be provided by the reliable source in terms of quality and quantity. However, S&P does not perform an audit, due diligence or independent verification of any information it receives from the issuers or a third party, or guarantees its accuracy,completeness or timeliness of the results gained from the information. Moreover it needs to be noted that it may incur a potential risk due to limitation of the historical data that are available for use depending on the rating.

Moody’s:

Credit ratings are Moody’s Investors Service's ("MIS") current opinions of the relative future credit risk of entities, credit commitments, or debt or debt-like securities. MIS defines credit risk as the risk that an entity may not meet its contractual, financial obligationsas they come due and any estimated financial loss in the event of default. Credit ratings do not address any other risk, including but not limited to: liquidity risk, market value risk, or price volatility. Credit ratings do not constitute investment or financial advice, andcredit ratings are not recommendations to purchase, sell, or hold particular securities. No warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy, timeliness, completeness, merchantability or fitness for any particular purpose of any such rating or other opinion orinformation is given or made by MIS in any form or manner whatsoever.

Based on the information received from issuers or from public sources, the credit risks of the issuers or obligations are assessed. MIS adopts all necessary measures so that the information it uses in assigning a credit rating is of sufficient quality and from sourcesMIS considers to be reliable. However, MIS is not an auditor and cannot in every instance independently verify or validate information received in the rating process.

Fitch:

Ratings assigned by Fitch are opinions based on established criteria and methodologies. Ratings are not facts, and therefore cannot be described as being "accurate" or "inaccurate". Credit ratings do not directly address any risk other than credit risk. Credit ratingsdo not comment on the adequacy of market price or market liquidity for rated instruments. Ratings are relative measures of risk; as a result, the assignment of ratings in the same category to entities and obligations may not fully reflect small differences in thedegrees of risk. Credit ratings, as opinions on relative ranking of vulnerability to default, do not imply or convey a specific statistical probability of default.

In issuing and maintaining its ratings, Fitch relies on factual information it receives from issuers and underwriters and from other sources Fitch believes to be credible. Fitch conducts a reasonable investigation of the factual information relied upon by it inaccordance with its ratings methodology, and obtains reasonable verification of that information from independent sources, to the extent such sources are available for a given security or in a given jurisdiction. The assignment of a rating to any issuer or any securityshould not be viewed as a guarantee of the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of the information relied on in connection with the rating or the results obtained from the use of such information. If any such information should turn out to containmisrepresentations or to be otherwise misleading, the rating associated with that information may not be appropriate. Despite any verification of current facts, ratings can be affected by future events or conditions that were not anticipated at the time a rating wasissued or affirmed. The detailed explanation for assumptions, significance and limitations of the rating is available under「格付け及びその他の形態の意見に関する定義」on the Japanese Website of Fitch.
