We sincerely apologize to the general public for the anxiety and inconvenience
caused by the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station accident.
We would like to make an announcement today regarding the previously announced
temporary compensation payments for the losses caused by the nuclear accident.
1.Temporary Payments for Persons Engaged in Agriculture, Forestry and Fishery
Per a government decision made on May 12th, discussions were held with
relevant organizations concerning the necessary immediate compensation for
those persons engaged in the Agriculture, Forestry and Fishery industry who
suffered losses. As preliminary discussions have been concluded for a
portion of the compensation claims received by the relevant Agriculture and
Fishery Associations concerning losses incurred by those engaged in
Agriculture, Forestry and Fishery connected to Government Shipment Limitation
Instructions*1, we will begin making compensation payments from
today.
We request that related organizations group all compensation claims into one
when submitting, but for those persons engaged in Agriculture, Forestry and
Fishery who would prefer to file claims independently, fill in the
"Application Form of Temporary Compensation Payment", attach the Necessary

For business losses incurred by persons who own small and medium sized
businesses located in the Evacuation Area*3, although we considered
providing temporary compensation payments per a government mandate issued

of the following procedures:

First, we ask that you fill in an "Application Form of Temporary
Compensation Payment" designated for persons independently engaged in
small and medium sized businesses and attach the Necessary Documents*4,
to be sent to us. Otherwise, send the related applications to those
relevant business organizations who are responsible for small and
medium-sized businesses. They will in turn group those applications
into one and send them to us.
We will begin receiving requests for the "Application Form of Temporary
Compensation Payment" from June 1st.
(2)Specific Contents of Temporary Payments
We will verify the contents of the applications sent to us from small
and medium-sized businesses or related organizations and make payment
for half of the Equivalent to Gross Margin*5 in the period from March
12 to the end of May (Upper limit is 2,500,000 Yen). For business
persons unable to prepare the Necessary Documentation*4, based on the
"Verification Documents of Actual Business"*6, we will make a payment
of 200,000 yen as temporary compensation to persons who engaged in
small and medium-sized businesses.
After June, the subsequent following steps will be adhered to taking
into account other situations.
*3 Evacuation Area: The evacuation area designated by government
