We determine the significance of various risk scenarios based on their assessed impact and probability and identify potential risk events that
are deemed to require close monitoring and attention for the next one-year period as top risks. The main top risks identified by our Risk Committee in July 2025 are as follows. By identifying these top risks,
we seek to implement necessary risk management measures designed to minimize such risks to the extent possible and manage them in such a manner that they can be agilely dealt with in the event that they materialize. In addition, through
management’s participation in discussions on such top risks, we strive to take effective measures based on a shared assessment of risks.
