Q How to exercise voting rights at the ordinary general meeting of shareholders?
   
A We send a notice of the ordinary general meeting of shareholders and a proxy statement to each of the shareholders recorded in our shareholder list as of the end of the record date for such meeting. A voting right can be exercised by sending a proxy letter to the company or by carrying a proxy letter to the ordinary general meeting of shareholders.

It is THK's policy to reflect the opinions of as many shareholders as practicable at a general meeting. Based on this policy, we are making various efforts to increase the number of shares for which voting rights are actually exercised. One of these efforts is publishing the excerpt translation notice of the ordinary general meeting of shareholders to foreign shareholders requiring more time for information communication so that they will not be disadvantaged as compared with domestic shareholders.
