Official documents required for personal identification
When shareholders lose their stock certificates due to theft, misplacement, or destruction by fire among other reasons, lost certificates must first be invalidated based on the stock certificate invalidation system before having them reissued.
Shareholders who have lost their stock certificates must file the loss of share certificates with the issuing company (transfer agent).

(1) Application form for registration of loss of stock certificates
(2) Document evidencing the loss of stock certificates (police document certifying the receipt of loss notification, document from the fire department certifying the occurrence of a fire disaster, etc.)
(3) Document evidencing the possession of stock certificates (delivery certificate, contracts indicating date of trade, etc.)
(4) Document for personal identification (certificate of seal-impression, residence certificate, etc.)

When receiving an application to register the loss of stock certificates, the issuing company (transfer agent) will record necessary items in the register on loss of stock certificates.
The lost certificates will be invalidated after one year counting from the first day after the date when the entry is made in the register on loss of stock certificates, at which time the individual recorded in the register may request for re-issuance of certificates. In the event the individual recorded in the register is not the nominal shareholder, it shall be deemed that corresponding stocks have been transferred to such individual as of the date of the invalidation of the stock certificates.
The nominal owner of the share certificates for which registration of loss is filed has the right to apply for objection to the registration of such loss and accordingly cancel the subject registration.
In the event an application for objection to registration of loss stock certificates is received, the individual who registered the loss of certificates will be notified of such objection without delay and the registration of loss will be cancelled after two weeks counting from the date of notification.
