(TEL: ) Notice of Allotment of Stock Options (Subscription Warrants) Fukuoka, Japan June 26, 2015 TOTO LTD. announced today that a meeting of the Board of Directors held today has resolved the allotment and the details of subscription warrants as stock options for a stock-linked compensation plan to the Company s directors (excluding outside directors). Details are as follows. I. Reasons for the allotment of subscription warrants The allotment is designed to ensure that the Company s directors (excluding outside directors) share with shareholders not only the benefits of high stock prices, but also the risks of low stock prices, bolstering their morale and motivation for improving the results of the Company. II. Summary of allotment of subscription warrants 1. Name of subscription warrants: 9th TOTO subscription warrants 2. Total number of subscription warrants: Type and number of shares that are object of subscription warrants The type of shares that are object of subscription warrants shall be common stocks of the Company. The number of shares for each subscription warrant (the Number of Granted Shares ) shall be 1,000 shares. However, if a share-split or a reverse share-split is conducted for common stocks of the Company after the date when subscription warrants are allotted (the Allotment Date ) as described in Condition 13 below, the Number of Granted Shares shall be adjusted by applying the following formula. Number of Granted Shares after adjustment = Number of Granted Shares before adjustment Ratio of share-split / reverse share-split In the case of a share-split, the number of Granted Shares after adjustment shall be applicable from the date following the base date of the relevant share-split, and in the case of a reverse 1

2 share-split, it shall be applicable from the effective date. However, if a share-split is carried out subject to the approval by the Company s ordinary general meeting of shareholders to the proposition of raising capital or reserves by reducing retained earnings, and if the base date of the share-split is determined to be a date before the day when the relevant ordinary general meeting of shareholders is closed, the number of Granted Shares after adjustment shall be retroactively applicable on the date following the relevant base date after the date following the closing date of the relevant ordinary general meeting of shareholders. In addition to the above, if a full share unit is amended after the allotment date, the Number of Granted Shares shall be adjusted to a reasonable extent. Any fractions of less than one share resulting from the above adjustments shall be rounded down to the nearest one share. When adjusting the Number of Granted Shares, the Company shall report or announce the necessary matters to holders of subscription warrants who are included in the register of the subscription warrants (the Subscription Warrants Holders ) by one day before the day when the Number of Granted Shares after adjustment is applicable. However, if the Company is not able to report or announce the necessary matters at least one day prior to the above application date, it shall report or announce them as soon as possible at a later date. 4. Amount of assets contributed upon the exercise of subscription warrants The amount of assets contributed upon the exercise of each subscription warrant shall be calculated by multiplying the paid-in value of 1 yen per share delivered upon the exercise of each subscription warrant by the Number of Granted Shares. 5. Exercise period of subscription warrants From July 18, 2015 to July 17, Matters concerning the increase in capital and capital reserve when shares are issued upon the exercise of subscription warrants (1) The amount of increase in capital when shares are issued upon the exercise of subscription warrants shall be one half of the maximum amount of increase in capital, etc., which is calculated in accordance with Paragraph 1 of Article 17 of the Corporate Calculation Regulation, and fractions of less than 1 yen resulting from the calculation shall be rounded up to the nearest 1 yen. (2) The amount of increase in capital reserve when shares are issued upon the exercise of subscription warrants shall be the amount calculated by deducting the amount of increase in capital as stated in the preceding paragraph (1) from the maximum amount of increase in capital, etc., as stated in the same paragraph (1) above. 7.
