(iii) Upon a party's receipt of a notice under (ii) of this clause, this agreement shall immediately and automatically lose effect without any further action. 2) Matters relating to the listing of merger-issued new shares and the possibility of delisting: As the company owns 100% of the issued shares of Dynamac Co., Ltd., and this is a non-capital-increase merger in which no new merger shares are issued, this matter is not applicable. This merger does not constitute a backdoor listing, so there is no possibility of delisting resulting from this merger. 3) Matters relating to option agreements concluded in connection with the merger: Not applicable.
