About the risk in case you wish to receive principal in USD

For example, in case the conditions for a deposit of 5 million yen are that "the strike rate = the base rate (120
yen per one dollar)" and "the exchange rate at maturity = 116 yen per one dollar " if you wish to convert the principal credited to your USD savings deposit account immediately to Yen (TTB rate = 115 yen per dollar ), you will receive approximately 4.79 million yen.

Cancellation before maturity

Cancellation before maturity is not permitted. If we find it necessary to accept cancellation before maturity, we will cancel the deposit and the remaining amount which we will deduct deposit restructuring amount and other costs occurred to the bank during cancellation day to maturity day, which is calculated by our original formula, will be credited to your PowerFlex Yen Savings account. Please note that in this case, your principal is not guaranteed. The deposit restructuring amount will be calculated considering two factors stated below.

1. Value of currency option at the time of early withdrawal

2. Difference between the applicable rate on the deposit and the the market interest rate (of the deposit currency) corresponding to the remaining period at the time of the early withdrawal

*Generally speaking, the higher the exchange rate for the deposit currency, the shorter the duration period from the time of deposit, and the lower the yield on Japanese government bond , the higher the cost of cancellation.
*Even if withdrawal is made immediately after effectuating the deposit, the costs associated with the restructuring will result in cancellation cost of roughly 9%～10％ of the principal.
