(Note): Taxation on shares purchased through a tender offer
For specific questions concerning taxation, each shareholder is kindly advised to consult professionals
such as tax accountants and to make decisions at its own discretion.
(a) Individual shareholders
(i) If the Tendering Shareholders are individual shareholders who are either residents in Japan or
non-residents with permanent establishments in Japan:
If the amount of money to be delivered in return for tendering and delivering shares through the
Tender Offer exceeds the portion of the amounts of ITOCHU’s share capital, etc. corresponding to
the shares that gave rise to such delivery of money, the amount of such excess will be deemed to
be dividend income and will be taxed. Such amount of deemed dividend income will be subject to
20.315% withholding tax in principle (income tax and Special Income Tax for Reconstruction
under the “Act on Special Measures for Securing Financial Resources Necessary to Implement
Measures for Reconstruction following the Great East Japan Earthquake” (Act No. 117 of 2011, as
amended) (the “Special Income Tax for Reconstruction”) at 15.315% plus inhabitant tax at 5%)
(in the case of non-residents with permanent establishments in Japan, no inhabitant tax will be
withheld through special collection); provided, however, that with respect to shareholders who fall
under the category of large shareholders, etc. (the “Large Shareholders”) as provided for in
provisions of Paragraph 38, Article 4-6-2 of the Order for Enforcement of the Act on Special
Measures Concerning Taxation (Cabinet Order No. 43, 1957, as amended), such amount of
deemed dividend income will be subject to 20.42% withholding tax (income tax and Special
Income Tax for Reconstruction only). The amount of money to be delivered in return for tendering
and delivering shares through the Tender Offer, less the amount of deemed dividend income, will
be income from the transfer of shares. The amount of income from the transfer of shares less
acquisition cost relating to such shares will, in principle, be subject to separate self-assessment
taxation.
In the case where a shareholder tenders the shares held in a Tax-exempt Account (the “Tax-
exempt Account”) as provided for in Article 37-14 (Tax exemption for capital gains, etc. from
small amounts of listed shares in a Tax-exempt Account) of the Act on Special Measures
Concerning Taxation (Act No. 26 of 1957, as amended) in the Tender Offer, if the financial
instruments business operator at which such Tax-exempt Account is held is Daiwa Securities Co.


2
Ltd., income from the transfer of shares pursuant to the Tender Offer will, in principle, be tax-
exempt; provided, however, that if such Tax-exempt Account is held at a financial institution other
than Daiwa Securities Co. Ltd., the aforementioned treatment may not apply.
(ii) If the Tendering Shareholders are non-residents without permanent establishments in Japan:
The amount deemed to be dividend income will be subject to 15.315% withholding tax (income
tax and Special Income Tax for Reconstruction only); provided, however, that shareholders who
fall under the category of the Large Shareholders will be subject to 20.42% withholding tax
(income tax and Special Income Tax for Reconstruction only). Further, income arising from the
transfer of shares is, in principle, not subject to taxation in Japan.
(b) Corporate shareholders
As taxation on deemed dividend, if the Tender Offer Price exceeds the amount of ITOCHU’s
share capital, etc. per share, the amount of such excess will be, in principle, subject to 15.315%
withholding tax (income tax and Special Income Tax for Reconstruction only).
Furthermore, any amount deemed to be a dividend to be paid by ITOCHU to Tendering
Shareholders (limited to corporations having their head office or principal office in Japan
(domestic corporations)) who directly own more than one-third of the total number of issued
shares, etc. of ITOCHU as of the record date for the payment of such dividend, etc. will be exempt
from income tax and Special Income Tax for Reconstruction, and no withholding tax will be
imposed on such amount.

2. Result of Tender Offer
(1) Number of share certificates, etc. purchased
Class of share Number of shares Expected number Number of shares Number of shares
certificates, etc. to be purchased of excess shares tendered purchased
Common stock 82,735,700 shares ― shares 83,403,785 shares 82,735,750 shares


(2) Calculation where shares are purchased by pro rata allocation method
Since the total number of the share certificates, etc. tendered for sale through the Tender Offer (the
“Tendered Share Certificates, Etc.”) exceeded the number of shares to be purchased (82,735,700 shares),
ITOCHU will not purchase all or part of such excess, and will implement the transfer of shares and other
settlement with regard to the purchase of share certificates, etc. by the pro rata allocation method provided
in Paragraph 5, Article 27-13 of the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act (Act No. 25 of 1948; as
amended; the “Act”) as applied mutatis mutandis pursuant to Paragraph 2, Article 27-22-2 of the Act, and
Article 21 of the Cabinet Office Order on Disclosure Required for Tender Offer for Listed Share
Certificates, Etc. by Issuer (Ministry of Finance Order No. 95 of 1994, as amended; the “Cabinet Office
Order”) (if the number of the Tendered Share Certificates, Etc. for each Tendering Shareholder includes
any number of shares less than one unit (100 shares), the number of shares to be purchased as calculated in
accordance with the pro rata allocation method shall not exceed the number of Tendered Share
Certificates, Etc. for each Tendering Shareholder.).

Since the total number of shares to be purchased from each Tendering Shareholder which was calculated
by rounding off the number of shares constituting less than one unit arising from the calculation using the
pro rata allocation method was less than the number of shares to be purchased, ITOCHU increased the
number of shares to be purchased by one unit (or the number of the Tendered Share Certificates, Etc. for
each Tendering Shareholder, when the purchase of an additional unit would cause an excess in the number
of the Tendered Share Certificates, Etc.) per each Tendering Shareholder in descending order beginning
with the Tendering Shareholders having the largest number of rounded-down shares, to the extent that the
total number of shares purchased became equal or greater than the number of shares to be purchased.
