Reasons for Determining the Stock Exchange Rate
1. The stock exchange rate of 1:1.650 was determined by Toyota
Motor Corporation (the 'TMC') and Tokyo Toyopet Motor Sales Co., Ltd.
(the 'Tokyo Toyopet'), in reference to the valuation by a third party
organization, Kato, Nishida and Hasegawa Law Office.
2. The share price of TMC, which is a public corporation,
determined based on the opinion of Kato, Nishida and Hasegawa Law Office,
is the average of the last prices on the Tokyo Stock Exchange of the six
months immediately before May 1, 2000 (from November 1, 1999 through
April 30, 2000), which is the valuation date for the stock exchange rate.
On the other hand, we judged that the share price of Tokyo Toyopet, a
non-public corporation, valued by Kato, Nishida and Hasegawa Law Office
by using the theoretical value calculated by the mixed method of book
value not assets method, dividend discount method and comparative value
of similar types of business method, and the actual examples of
transactions, is appropriate.
The valued share price and the stock exchange rate are as follows:
TMC Tokyo Toyopet
(par value: Y50) (par value: Y500)
Share Price Y4,543 Y7,500
Exchange Rate 1 1.650
By using this exchange rate, 1.650 shares of TMC will be allotted to
one share of Tokyo Toyopet.
