To prevent arbitrary decisions being made by the Epson board of directors in their administration of the
Plan, including the activation of preventive provisions, it is subject to the approval of a special committee
made up of highly independent external parties. Actions of the special committee shall include
examination of stock acquisition details, requesting information from the Epson board of directors
regarding alternative proposals, disclosing information to shareholders, and negotiating with parties
intending to make acquisitions. The special committee shall advise the Epson board of directors on the
necessity to activate the Plan, and the Epson board of directors shall give maximum regard to that advice
before implementing their resolutions promptly as an organ of Japanese Companies Act.
