Statements contained in this report regarding the plans, projections, and strategies of Nikon Corporation and its subsidiaries and affi li-
ates that comprise the Nikon Group that are not historical fact constitute forward-looking statements about future fi nancial results. As
such, they are based on data that is obtainable at the time of announcement in compliance with the Nikon Group’s management poli-
cies and certain premises that are deemed reasonable by the Nikon Group. Hence, actual results may differ, in some cases signifi cantly,
from these forward-looking statements due to changes in various factors, including—but not limited to—economic conditions in princi-
pal markets, product and service demand trends, customer capital expenditure trends, and currency exchange rate fl uctuations.

Responsibility) (pages 34 to 43), Nikon Corporation refers to itself, while the term “Group companies” refers to its 70 consolidated
subsidiaries and two equity-method affi liates, and “Nikon Group” refers to Nikon Corporation and its Group companies. The report
