 Philosophy Behind External Capital

 In building core capital, we focus on enhancing internal reserves and surplus, and view external capital as a
 complement. We will secure a sufficient capital level, considering the current solvency regulation and new
 economic value-based capital regulation, which we expect to be implemented in the near future.
