May 1, 2015 Notice of Transition to Holding Company System through Company Split and Change of Trade Name As announced in the New Comprehensive Special Business Plan approved by the Government of Japan in January 2014 (as amended), TEPCO has been considering transitioning to a holding company system, and today, by resolution of the board of directors, TEPCO decided that with April 1, 2016 as a tentative date, in time with the introduction of a licensing system for electric power systems reform, it will transfer its fuel and thermal power generation business (excluding fuel transport business and fuel trading business), general power transmission and distribution business, and retail electricity business, which will be transferred through company splits to the Tokyo Electric Power Fuel & Thermal Power Generation Business Split Preparation Company,, Tokyo Electric Power Transmission & Distribution Business Split Preparation Company,, and Tokyo Electric Power Retail Sales Business Split Preparation Company, respectively, and on the same date, TEPCO executed absorption-type split agreements with each of the succeeding companies (these company splits are hereinafter referred to as the Splits. TEPCO also gives notice that, on the effective date of the Splits, in conjunction with the Splits, TEPCO s trade name will be changed to Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings,. The effect of the Splits and the change of trade names are subject to approval of the related proposals at the 91 st ordinary general shareholders meeting planned to be convened on June 25, 2015, as well as issue by the competent authorities of permits and approvals necessary for the performance of business. Because each of the Splits is a company split to a 100% subsidiary of TEPCO, we have omitted a portion of disclosure matters/contents in our disclosure. With respect to the company split under which Tokyo Electric Power Fuel & Thermal Power Generation Business Split Preparation Company, will succeed to TEPCO s fuel transport and fuel trading businesses mentioned above, we made our disclosures on April 28 in the Notice of Company Split to Tokyo Electric Power Fuel & Thermal Power Generation Business Split Preparation Company, (Simplified Company Split). I. Transition to Holding Company System through Company Split 1. Background and Purposes of Splits As demand for electric power decreases due to energy conservation efforts and the development low-energy products, there are plans for full liberalization of the retail market in April 2016, and for statutory-based separation of electricity transmission and distribution divisions in 2020. The electric power market of Japan is witnessing a period of great change. In this environment, for TEPCO to continue fulfilling its responsibilities for the Fukushima nuclear power accident and to maintain an inexpensive and stable supply of electric power, it is essential for each business division to apply the best business strategies that suits its characteristics and work to improve the corporate value of the overall TEPCO group. 1

Specifically, in the fuel and thermal power generation business division, starting with a comprehensive alliance with Chubu Electric Power Co., Inc., TEPCO embarked on a drastic rethinking of the business structures of the overall supply chain from upstream to power generation, and will aim to transform into an energy company that is spreading its dynamism around the world. The transmission and distribution business division, while continuing to ensure reliable power supply, will achieve the most competitive wheeling costs in Japan, and while maintaining and improving the neutrality and impartiality of business operations, will promote improved transmission and distribution network convenience, optimization of operations, and coordination with other electric power companies. The retail electricity business division, while leveraging alliances with other companies, will offer and provide to Japanese customers products and services adopting the viewpoint of our customers and focusing on efficient energy consumption as well as power and gas one-stop service. So that TEPCO can realize these strategies and adapt flexibly and swiftly to a new post-liberalization business environment, based on achieving both responsibility and competitiveness, around the time the licensing system is introduced in April 2016 as the second step in electric power systems reform, TEPCO will be the first electric power company to spin off three business divisions, and transfer to a holding company system. After the transition to a holding company system, the holding company will be responsible for dealing with compensation, decommissioning, decontamination, and promoting revitalization, and by setting forth management strategies for the overall group and optimally distributing management resources will work to enhance efficient business operations and competitiveness. Through the construction of this sort of business operation system, TEPCO will work to establish a revenue base towards sustainable regeneration, fulfill the responsibilities of the overall TEPCO group for the Fukushima nuclear accident, create resources for Fukushima s revitalization, and improve the corporate value of the entire group. 2. Overview of Splits (1) Schedule of Splits Board of directors meeting approving absorption-type company split May 1, 2015 agreements (TEPCO) Directors decision approving absorption-type company split May 1, 2015 agreement (each succeeding company) Execution of absorption-type company split agreements May 1, 2015 Ordinary general shareholders meeting approving absorption-type June 25, 2015 (planned) company split agreements (TEPCO) Extraordinary general shareholders meeting approving absorption-type June 25, 2015 (planned) company split agreement (each succeeding company) Effective date of absorption-type split April 1, 2016 (planned) (Note) The company splits in which Tokyo Electric Power Fuel & Thermal Power Generation Business Split Preparation Company, and Tokyo Electric Power Retail Sales Business Split Preparation Company, will be the succeeding companies are planned to be carried out without the approval of a general shareholders meeting of TEPCO pursuant to the Companies Act, Article 784, Paragraph 2, but the effect of these company splits is subject to approval by a general shareholders 2

meeting of TEPCO with respect to the company split in which Tokyo Electric Power Transmission & Distribution Business Split Preparation Company, will be the succeeding company. (2) Method of Splits The Splits will be absorption-type splits in which TEPCO is the splitting company, and TEPCO s wholly owned subsidiaries Tokyo Electric Power Fuel & Thermal Power Generation Business Split Preparation Company,, Tokyo Electric Power Transmission & Distribution Business Split Preparation Company,, and Tokyo Electric Power Retail Sales Business Split Preparation Company, are the succeeding companies. (3) Particulars of Allotment in Splits In the Splits, the succeeding companies, Tokyo Electric Power Fuel & Thermal Power Generation Business Split Preparation Company,, Tokyo Electric Power Transmission & Distribution Business Split Preparation Company,, and Tokyo Electric Power Retail Sales Business Split Preparation Company,, will issue 15,300,000 shares, 46,600,000 shares, and 4,100,000 shares, respectively, and all of those shares will be allotted and delivered to TEPCO. (4) Handling of Splitting Company s New Share Subscription Rights and Bonds with New Share Subscription Right TEPCO has not issued new share subscription rights or bonds with new share subscription rights. (5) Change in Stated Capital through Splits There will be no change to TEPCO s stated capital. (6) Rights and Duties Assumed by Succeeding Companies In accordance with an absorption-type company split agreement executed with TEPCO dated May 1, 2015, on the effective date of the Splits, Tokyo Electric Power Fuel & Thermal Power Generation Business Split Preparation Company, will assume rights and duties held and borne in relation to TEPCO s thermal power generation business (excluding the said business in remote islands), fuel procurement, resource development, and steam supply businesses with respect to thermal power generation, as well as investment business in the foregoing. In accordance with an absorption-type company split agreement executed with TEPCO dated May 1, 2015, on the effective date of the Splits, Tokyo Electric Power Transmission & Distribution Business Split Preparation Company, will assume rights and duties held and borne in relation to TEPCO s general power transmission and distribution business, real estate leasing business, and power generation business in remote islands. In accordance with an absorption-type company split agreement executed with TEPCO dated May 1, 2015, on the effective date of the Splits, Tokyo Electric Power Retail Sales Business Split Preparation Company, will assume rights and duties held and borne in relation to TEPCO s retail electricity business, gas business, steam supply business (excluding the said business in connection with thermal power generation), energy equipment service business, and internet service business. With respect to the assumption of obligations by the succeeding companies through the Splits, the succeeding companies will assume, and in doing so, release TEPCO from, such obligations. 3

Succeeding companies will not assume obligations etc. associated with existing public bonds of TEPCO, but to protect the rights of bondholders and others, TEPCO plans to set up the framework set forth in Reference Material Protection Plan for the TEPCO Bonds with a Statutory Preferential Right in Transformation into a Holding Company. (7) Prospects for Performance of Obligations It is expected that TEPCO and all of the succeeding companies will still have assets in excess of liabilities after the Splits, and presently we do not envision the occurrence of any events that would cause an impediment to the performance of obligations arising after the Splits, and for these reasons, we judge there to be no problems with respect to the prospects for TEPCO and each succeeding company to perform its obligations after the Splits. 3.

Furthermore, the main items of TEPCO s expenses are expected to be costs associated with our functions as a holding company; costs associated with nuclear power, hydroelectric power and new energy generation; expenses associated with compensation for nuclear power damage; and expenses associated with the decommission of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station. 9

Exhibit Protection Plan for the TEPCO Bonds with a Statutory Preferential Right in Transition to Holding Company System Under the New Comprehensive Special Business Plan approved by the Government of Japan in January 2014 (as amended), TEPCO is required to provide adequate protection to holders of the bonds with a statutory preferential right under the Electric Utility Law of Japan issued prior to closing of the Splits to ensure that the transformation of TEPCO into a holding company contemplated thereunder would not substantially change bondholders rights. Accordingly, with respect to our bonds with a statutory preferential right publicly offered and issued, TEPCO plans to propose a protection plan for bondholders in which Succeeding Company incorporated in connection with the Splits (i.e., Tokyo Electric Power Transmission & Distribution Business Split Preparation Company, 1 ) will issue bonds with a statutory preferential right and TEPCO will subscribe for the same and thereafter entrust such bonds to trust bank after the closing of, and separately from, the Splits, as explained below. TEPCO believes that following the effective date of the Splits, the bondholder protection plan would have no material adverse effect on TEPCO s performance of the liabilities under the bonds. In addition, our bondholder protection plan would require no application/action from bondholders. I. TEPCO s liabilities under the bonds with a statutory preferential right as of the effective date of the Splits. TEPCO will continue to perform any and all obligations relating to the bonds with a statutory preferential right outstanding as of the day immediately preceding the effective date of the Splits. II. Overview of Bondholder Protection Plan (i) Bonds with a statutory preferential right publicly offered and issued in Japan (collectively, TEPCO Japan Public Bonds ) (a) On the effective date of the Splits, Tokyo Electric Power Transmission & Distribution Business Split Preparation Company, will issue bonds with a statutory preferential right (Inter-company bonds, or ICB ) with essentially the same residual amount, redemption date and interest rate as those under the TEPCO Japan Public Bonds outstanding as of the date immediately preceding the 1 The name of this company will be changed on the effective date of the Splits. 11

effective date of the Splits (see Annex to this Exhibit), and TEPCO will subscribe for the same in full. 2 As repayment of the principal amount and payment of interest under the TEPCO Japan Public Bonds would be backed by cash flow of the ICBs in trust, TEPCO believes that certainty would be maintained with respect to repayment of the principal amount and payment of interest under the TEPCO Japan Public Bonds. (b) TEPCO will enter into a trust agreement under which TEPCO is a settlor and beneficiary, the trust bank acts as trustee, and the ICBs and cash are trust assets. Trustee will also guarantee the TEPCO Japan Public Bonds jointly and severally with TEPCO. (c) Although TEPCO will continue to be liable for any and all obligations under the TEPCO Japan Public Bonds even after trustee s guaranty takes effect pursuant to II.(i)(b) above, the trustee will essentially repay the principal amount and pay the interest amount of the TEPCO Japan Public Bonds through performance of the guarantee and in the capacity as a guarantor to the extent that the ICB will be paid by Tokyo Electric Power Transmission & Distribution Business Split Preparation Company,. <Protection Plan for holders of the TEPCO Japan Public Bonds> Hold Co 2 Public Bonds (JPY) Bondholders ICB Tokyo Electric Power Transmission & Distribution Business Split Preparation Company, ICB to be entrusted Trust Bank (trustee) The Public Bonds will be guaranteed by the trust bank. The guarantee would be performed with cash flow from ICB. 2 The Tokyo Electric Power Company, Inc. (or TEPCO) is planning to change its corporate name to Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings, ( Hold Co ) on the effective date of the Splits. 12

(ii) TEPCO s 17th Swiss Franc-denominated straight corporate bonds (with a statutory preferential right) ( TEPCO Swiss Public Bonds ) (a) On the effective date of the Splits, Tokyo Electric Power Transmission & Distribution Business Split Preparation Company, will issue ICB with essentially the same payment obligations, redemption date and interest rate as those under the TEPCO Swiss Public Bonds 3, and TEPCO will subscribe for the same in full. TEPCO believes that certainty would be maintained with respect to the repayment of the principal amount and payment of interest under the TEPCO Swiss Public Bonds, as repayment of the principal amount and payment of interest under the TEPCO Swiss Public Bonds would be backed by cash flow of the ICBs. (b) Tokyo Electric Power Transmission & Distribution Business Split Preparation Company, will guarantee TEPCO s liabilities under the TEPCO Swiss Public Bonds pursuant to Swiss law. (c) Even after the guaranty takes effect pursuant to II.(ii)(b) above, TEPCO will continue to perform any and all of its obligations under the TEPCO Swiss Public Bonds. <Protection Plan for holders of the TEPCO Swiss Public Bonds> Guarantee (CHF) Tokyo Electric Power Transmission & Distribution Business Split Preparation Company, ICB (JPY) Hold Co Currency Swap JPY CHF Swap Counterparty Public Bonds (CHF) Bondholders Our bondholder protection plan applies to the TEPCO Japan Public Bonds and the TEPCO Swiss Public Bonds separately due in part to differing governing laws applicable to each of the bonds. TEPCO believes, however, that both groups of bondholders are equally and adequately protected under the bondholder protection plan. 3 At the time of issue of the TEPCO Swiss Public Bonds, TEPCO entered into a JPY/CHF currency swap agreement with financial institutions. As foreign currency required for the payment of the TEPCO Swiss Public Bonds will be funded by the currency swap, TEPCO's liability under the TEPCO Swiss Public Bonds has substantially been fixed in JPY. 13

(Note) In our view, certainty of performance of other liabilities (other than those bonds with a statutory preferential right indicated in II. above) by TEPCO would also be maintained following the effective date of the Splits, as they would be backed in whole or in part by the ICB, etc. issued by each Succeeding Company incorporated in connection with the Splits. With respect to those other liabilities of TEPCO, in addition to issue of the ICB, trust would be created with the ICB, etc. as trust assets, and the trustee of such trust will provide guarantee for the benefit of bondholders and lenders and perform such guarantee obligations with cash flow from the ICB, etc. in trust.
