1 Production in Japan

   Plants in Japan will operate close to their usual level of production for the week beginning on both Monday, November 21 and Monday, November 28.

2 Production outside Japan

   Plants of TMC's subsidiary in Thailand, Toyota Motor Thailand Co., Ltd. (TMT), will restart production on Monday, November 21, as disclosed on Thursday, November 10. The level of production will be determined by taking into account factors such as the parts-supply situation at the time.

   In addition, plants in North America will operate at their usual level of production for the week beginning on both Monday, November 21 and Monday, November 28.

   Decisions regarding adjustments, if any, to production both within and outside Japan after the above-mentioned period will be based on a close observation of the situation as it develops.

   TMC is continuing to work closely with its parts-supplier and is putting forth effort to restore production as quickly as possible. The effects of the floods on TMC's financial performance are yet to be assessed. Should any material impacts be anticipated, TMC will make a further announcement in a prompt manner.
