(Securities Code: 6985) For Business Integration with U-Shin Ltd." dated November 7, 2018, MINEBEA MITSUMI Inc.

• (iii) The third-party committee established at the Target Company in connection with the Tender Offer has made a report to the Target Company's board of directors stating that the Tender Offer is not disadvantageous to the Target Company's minority shareholders, and has not withdrawn that report; and
• (iv) No events have occurred that would cause a material adverse effect to the financial condition (meaning the events set out in the proviso of Article 27-11, Paragraph 1 of the Act based on which a tender offer may be withdrawn or any other events that are similar or equivalent to those events) of the Target Company group (Note).

Note:  In addition to the conditions set out in (i) through (iv) above, the implementation of the Tender Offer is subject to the satisfaction of the condition that (v) no petition, litigation or proceeding demanding the prohibition of or limitations on the commencement of the Tender Offer is pending before a judicial or administrative agency, and there is no decision of a judicial or administrative agency that prohibits or limits the commencement of the Tender Offer, and (vi) there is no unpublished material fact (meaning a material fact as prescribed in Article 166, Paragraph 2 of the Act) regarding the Target Company or a fact concerning launch or suspension of a tender offer, etc. (meaning a fact as prescribed in Article 167, Paragraph 2 of the Act).
