Allotment of Stock Options
for Executive Officers, Senior Vice Presidents and Employees
Mitsubishi Corporation (the "Company") has announced that at a
meeting held today the Company's Board of Directors established the
terms regarding the distribution of stock options to Executive
Officer, Senior Vice President and former Senior Vice President
("riji") of the Company, which were resolved by the Board of
Directors to distribute to Executive Officers and Senior Vice
Presidents ("riji") in the past but put on hold due to overseas
assignment, pursuant to Article 236-1, Article 238-1 and -2 and
Article 240-1 of the Companies Act of Japan, as well as a
resolution concerning the solicitation of subscribers to said stock
options. The stock options are being distributed to provide further
incentive and motivation to improve the Company's performance and
further align Executive Officers and Senior Vice Presidents
("riji") interests with those of shareholders.
1. Name of the Stock Options
Mitsubishi Corporation, 2015 Stock Options Plan A for a
Stock-linked Compensation Plan.
2. Total Number of Stock Options
251
The above total is the number of stock options to be allotted.
Where there is a decrease in the total number of stock options to
be allotted, such as when there are no subscriptions for some of
the rights, the total number of stock options to be issued shall be
the total number of stock options allotted.
Eligible persons and number, as well as planned number of stock
options to be allocated are as follows.
Executive Officer who does not serve concurrently as Director
(1) : 96
Senior Vice President ("riji") (1) : 68
Former Senior Vice President ("riji") (now serving as Staff) (1)
: 87
3. Class and Number of Shares to Be Issued for the Purpose of Issuing Stock Options
The class of share to be issued upon the exercise of stock
options shall be the Company's common stock, and the number of
shares to be issued per stock option (hereinafter the "Number of
Shares Granted") shall be 100.
However, if the Company conducts a stock split (including a free
distribution of the Company's common stock; the same definition
applies to stock splits described below) or consolidation of its
common stock after the date of allotment of the stock options
(hereinafter the "Allotment Date"), the Number of Shares Granted
shall be adjusted in accordance with the following formula.
Fractional shares arising out of the adjustment shall be
discarded.
Adjusted Number of Shares Granted = Original Number of Shares
Granted x stock split or stock consolidation ratio
In the case of a stock split, the Adjusted Number of Shares
Granted shall apply from the day after the record date of the said
stock split (or effective date when no record date is specified).
Whereas, in the case of a stock consolidation, the Adjusted Number
of Shares Granted shall apply from the day the stock consolidation
becomes effective. Provided, however, that in cases where the
Company conducts a stock split conditional on approval at a General
Meeting of Shareholders of the Company of a proposal to reduce
retained earnings and increase common stock and paid-in capital,
the record date for the stock split shall be the day prior to the
day on which said shareholders' meeting closes. In this case, the
Adjusted Number of Shares Granted shall retroactively apply from
the day after the day the applicable shareholders' meeting closes
and the day following the applicable record date.
In addition to the above items, when for unavoidable reasons it
is necessary to adjust the Number of Shares Granted after the
Allotment Date, the Company reserves the right to adjust the Number
of Shares Granted within reasonable limits.
Moreover, when the Number of Shares Granted is adjusted, the
Company shall notify or report, using the method stipulated in the
Articles of Incorporation, the pertinent details to persons holding
stock options listed in the original register of stock options
(hereinafter the "Stock Options Holder") no later than the day
prior to the day the Adjusted Number of Shares Granted becomes
effective. Provided, however, that in cases where the Company
cannot issue such a report or notice by the day before the said
application date, it will do so immediately on the application date
or soon thereafter.
4. Total Amount Payable Upon Exercise of Stock Options
The total amount payable upon exercise of one stock option shall
be determined by multiplying the price payable per share that can
be granted due to the exercise of stock options, which shall be 1
yen, by the Number of Shares Granted.
5. Stock Option Term
June 2, 2015 to June 2, 2044
6. Increases in Common Stock and Additional Paid-in Capital for
Shares Issued Due to the Exercise of Stock Options
(1) If shares are issued due to the exercise of stock options,
common stock shall increase by half the limit for increase in
common stock calculated pursuant to Article 17-1 of the Ordinance
on Accounting of Companies. Any amount less than one yen shall be
rounded up to the nearest yen.
(2) If shares are issued due to the exercise of stock options,
additional paid-in capital shall increase by the amount remaining
after deducting the increase in common stock prescribed in (1) from
the limit for increase in common stock in (1).
