functions.

Building on each business's mid-term strategy, Toshiba intends to use digital solutions to promote the transformation of its businesses to a profitable recurring business model.

With the intent of making medium- and long-term business performance a clear and effective incentive, Toshiba will implement a restricted stock compensation system for Executive Officers in July this year, a system that places limitations on stock transfers for a certain period.

Incentives will be linked to performance over the course of the business year and to the achievement of targets in mid-term business plans, and structured into a system that includes stock grants.
