(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 their own discretion.

 

 

 

(a) Individual shareholders

 

(i) If the Tendering Shareholder 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 Renesas’ share capital, etc. (in the case of a consolidated entity, the amount of consolidated individual 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 Article 4-6-2, Paragraph 12 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 in a tax-exempt account as provided for in provisions of 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) (the “Tax-exempt Account”) pursuant to the Tender Offer, if the financial institution business operator at which such Tax-exempt Account is held is Daiwa Securities Co. 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) If the Tendering Shareholders are corporate shareholders:

 

As taxation on deemed dividend, if the Tender Offer Price exceeds the amount of Renesas’ 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).

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 Shares”) exceeded the number of shares to be purchased (168,067,226 shares), Renesas will not purchase all or part of such excess, and will implement the transfer of shares and other settlement with regard to the purchase, etc. of share certificates and the like by the pro rata allocation method provided in provisions of Article 27-13, Paragraph 5 of the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act (Act No. 25 of 1948; as amended; the “Act”) as applied mutatis mutandis pursuant to provisions of Article 27-22-(2), Paragraph 2 of the Act, and provisions of Article 21 of the Cabinet Office Order on Disclosure Required for Tender Offer for Listed Share Certificates by Issuers (Ministry of Finance Order No. 95, 1994 as amended; the “Cabinet Office Order”) (if the number of the Tendered Shares of a Tendering Shareholder includes shares constituting less than one minimum trading unit (100 shares), the number of shares to be purchased from such Tendering Shareholder which was calculated using the pro rata allocation method will be up to the number of the Tendered Shares of such 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 minimum trading unit arising from the calculation using the pro rata allocation method was less than the number of shares to be purchased, Renesas increased the number of shares to be purchased by one minimum trading unit (or the number of the Tendered Shares of each Tendering Shareholder, when the purchase of an additional unit would cause an excess in the number of the Tendered Shares) 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.
