2. Total number of the Stock Acquisition Rights
1,221 stock acquisition rights.
The above is expected number of the allotment. If the total number of the Stock Acquisition Rights to be allotted is less than expected, such as in the case where applications are not made as expected, total number of allotment of Stock Acquisition Rights will be reduced accordingly.

Regardless of the above, if the Company conducts a stock split (including an allotment of the Company's common stock without receipt of monetary consideration) or a stock consolidation, the Company shall adjust the number of shares to be issued upon exercise of each Stock Acquisition Right in accordance with the following equation.
Number of shares after the adjustment = Number of shares before the adjustment x stock split or stock consolidation ratio
Other than the above, if an inevitable need arises after the date of allotment, the Company shall adjust the number of shares to be issued upon exercise of each Stock Acquisition Right as appropriate and to the extent reasonable.
Fractional number less than one share after the adjustment shall be truncated.
If the number of shares is to be adjusted, the Company shall give notification or a public notice of the proposed adjustment to the holders of the Stock Acquisition Rights appearing on the register of the Stock Acquisition Rights on the date preceding the date of the adjustment of the number of shares. Should the Company be unable to give such notification or public notice on the date preceding the date of the adjustment, the Company shall give such notification or a public notice as soon as practically possible.
4. Amount to be paid upon exercise of the Stock Acquisition Rights

- i.
C = option price per share
- ii.
S = share price: the closing price of the regular trading of Company's common stock on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on August 26, 2008 (or the standard price on the following trading day if there is no closing price on August 26, 2008) minus present value of the aggregate amount of expected dividends that will be paid over the period of the expected duration.
- iii.
X = exercise price: 1 yen
- iv.
T = expected duration: 2 years
- v.
σ = volatility: computed based on the closing price of the regular trading on each trading day of the Company's common stock from August 27, 2006 to August 26, 2008
- vi.
r = risk-free interest rate: the interest rate on Japanese government bonds with remaining period corresponding to the expected duration
- viii.
N(.) = cumulative distribution function of the standard normal distribution
- Note 1
The option price to be calculated as described above is a fair value of the Stock Acquisition Rights. Accordingly, the issuance of the Stock Acquisition Rights is not an issuance of shares with favorable terms.

In respect of the directors (including non-member of the board) and corporate auditors of Tokio Marine & Nichido, Nisshin Fire and Tokio Marine & Nichido Life, such offset described above shall be conducted after the Company assumes from Tokio Marine & Nichido, Nisshin Fire and Tokio Marine & Nichido Life the monetary remuneration claims held by the directors (including non-member of the board) and corporate auditors against Tokio Marine & Nichido, Nisshin Fire and Tokio Marine & Nichido Life.
