1Purpose of the Secondary Offering of Shares

The Company's Mid-Term Business Plan 2024-2026 is guided by the slogan "Explore a Sustainable Future with Innovation." True to those words, the Company's goal during those three years is to advance the initiatives set for itself to address some of its most important challenges, including the decarbonization of its FPSOs and the development of new businesses. The Company believes that this represents a crucial step in its journey to fulfill its Vision 2034 and grow into a "Global Leading Player in Connecting Ocean and Humanity." The Company will endeavor to make this a reality by strengthening the profitability of its core business, FPSO, making strategic progress in FPSO decarbonization and new business, as well as to strengthen its business foundation including its human capital to prepare for the future, while also promoting sustainability management.

The Company recognizes that enhancing corporate governance will also be important going forward as it looks to pursue these strategies over the medium to long term. The Company has engaged in sustained dialogue, both internally and with its shareholders, about the appropriate shareholder configuration for addressing those concerns. Out of that dialogue came a proposal to put the Company's shares on the market through a secondary offering, which would improve liquidity and expand the Company's shareholder base. Having obtained the consent of the would-be selling shareholder, the Company is pleased to announce the launch of this Offering. The Company's goal with this Offering is to reconfigure its shareholder mix so that it will have a larger and more diverse base of shareholders who support its long-term strategies. The Company also believes that it will lead to a better tradable share ratio for its shares and in accordance with the criteria for maintaining listing on the Tokyo Stock Exchange's Prime Market.

While 3,286,200 shares are scheduled to be offered under the offering of shares by way of over-allotment, such number of shares represents the maximum number of shares to be offered, and the actual number of shares to be offered may decrease, or the offering of shares by way of over-allotment may not be carried out at all, subject to market demand and other conditions.

If the offering of shares by way of over-allotment is carried out, the designated lead manager will be granted the right from the Share Lender to acquire additional shares of the Company's common stock, separately from the shares subject to the sale through the offering of shares by way of purchase and subscription by the Underwriters, up to the number of shares to be sold by over-allotment (hereinafter referred to as the "Greenshoe Option"), starting from the delivery date of the sale through the offering of shares by way of purchase and subscription by the Underwriters and the offering of shares by way of over-allotment and ending on Friday, June 21, 2024.

Furthermore, the designated lead manager may purchase shares of common stock on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, Inc., up to the number of shares to be sold in the offering of shares by way of over-allotment,
