However, the shares cannot be sold if they remain in the special account.

Dai-ichi Life Holdings is listed on the Prime Market of The Tokyo Stock Exchange.

Regarding shares constituting less than one unit (1 share to 99 shares) resulting from the share split, since the handling of such shares is subject to many restrictions under the current system, such as not being able to be traded on securities markets, the Company purchases (purchase request) shares constituting less than one or has a system whereby shareholders can purchase additional shares so that the shares they hold become one unit (100 shares) (additional purchase (transfer) request).

EV (Embedded Value) is the sum of "adjusted net worth", which is calculated by making necessary adjustments to total net assets on the balance sheet, and "value of in-force business", which is calculated as prevent value of future after-tax profits on in-force business less present value of cost of capital. EV is one of the indicators that represents corporate value for shareholders.
Under current statutory accounting practices applicable to life insurance companies in Japan, there is a time lag between the sale of policies and recognition of profits. The use of EV allows the contribution of future profit from the new business to be recognized at the time of sale. It therefore serves as a valuable supplement to statutory financial information.
The Dai-ichi Life Group discloses its EV and the published reports are available on "EV Report".

The Company defines one trading unit as 100 shares in conjunction with the adoption of the trading unit system.
The stock trading unit is 100 shares.
