Dear Investor Relations Team,

I am writing as a shareholder and investor seeking clarification regarding Subaru Corporation’s
ownership interest in Toyota Motor Corporation.
Specifically, I would appreciate confirmation of the following:

  1. The current number of Toyota Motor Corporation shares held by Subaru Corporation.
  2. The percentage ownership this represents and an approximate market value.
  3. The carrying value of this investment as reflected on Subaru’s most recent consolidated balance
    sheet.
  4. Whether the stake is accounted for at cost, fair value, or under an equity method framework.
    The 21% ownership of Subaru by Toyota is well established, but the holdings of Toyota shares by
    Subaru are less well documented.
    In reviewing public disclosures, I am attempting to reconcile the implied market value of Subaru’s
    Toyota holdings with Subaru’s overall market capitalization and reported financial statements. A
    clear statement from the company regarding the current position would be most helpful.
    If possible, I would welcome a response via email for convenience. My contact information is listed
    above. Thank you for your time and attention to this inquiry. I appreciate your assistance.


Sincerely,
Henry W. Schacht, CFA
