Notice Concerning Granting Stock Options (Stock Acquisition Rights)
At a meeting held on June 23, 2006, the Board of Directors of Toyota Motor
Corporation ('TMC') determined the details of the terms and conditions of the
issuance of rights to subscribe for or purchase shares of TMC ('Stock
Acquisition Rights'), without consideration, for the purpose of granting stock
options, pursuant to Article 236, Article 238 and Article 239 of the Corporation
Act, and a resolution at the 102nd Ordinary General Shareholders' Meeting of
TMC, and we hereby inform you as follows.
The amount to be paid upon the exercise of Stock Acquisition Rights and other
undetermined matters are to be determined by the date on which the Stock
Acquisition Rights are allotted (which is currently scheduled on August 1,
2006).
1. Reason for Issue of Stock Acquisition Rights without Consideration
In order to enhance enthusiasm and raise morale of Directors, Managing
Officers and employees, etc. of TMC and its affiliates, thereby improving
business performance and contribute to the strengthening of TMC's international
competitiveness.
2. Type and Number of Shares to be Issued or Transferred upon Exercise of Stock
Acquisition Rights
3,176,000 shares of common stock of TMC.
Provided, however, that if the number of shares to be issued or transferred upon
exercise of each Stock Acquisition Right is adjusted in accordance with 3 below,
such number of shares to be issued or transferred shall be adjusted to the
number obtained by multiplying the number of shares after adjustment by the
total number of Stock Acquisition Rights to be issued.
3. Total Number of Stock Acquisition Rights
31,760
The number of shares to be issued or transferred upon exercise of one (1)
Stock Acquisition Right (the 'Number of Shares Granted') shall be 100; provided,
however, that if TMC splits its shares (including the allotment of common stock
to shareholders without consideration; hereinafter the same shall apply) or
consolidates its shares after the allotment date of the Stock Acquisition
Rights, the Number of Shares Granted shall be adjusted according to the
following formula.
Number of shares = Number of shares x Ratio of split
after adjustment before adjustment (or consolidation)
The adjustment above shall be made only to the unexercised rights remaining
at the relevant time. If any fraction less than one (1) share arises as a
result of such adjustment, such fraction shall be discarded.
4. Number of Stock Acquisition Rights to be Granted and Number of Grantees
Thereof

The number of Stock Acquisition Rights to be allotted to each grantee (the
'Number of Stock Acquisition Rights to be Allotted') shall be determined on the
condition that the relevant grantee has submitted an application for
subscription of Stock Acquisition Rights in a number equal to or exceeding the
Number of Stock Acquisition Rights to be Allotted pursuant to Article 242,
Paragraph 2 of the Corporation Act, and if the number of Stock Acquisition
Rights the relevant grantee applies for subscription of is less than the Number
of Stock Acquisition Rights to be Allotted, the allotted number shall be the
number applied for by such grantee.
5. Amount Paid for Issuance of Stock Acquisition Rights
No payment of money shall be required for the Stock Acquisition Rights
issued in accordance with the resolution of the meeting of the Board of
Directors.
6. Amount of Assets to be Paid upon Exercise of Stock Acquisition Rights
The amount of assets to be paid upon exercise of each Stock Acquisition Right
shall be the amount obtained by multiplying the amount to be paid per share
issued or transferred upon exercise of Stock Acquisition Rights (the 'Exercise
Price') by the Number of Shares Granted. The Exercise Price shall be as
follows.
The amount obtained by multiplying the closing price of TMC's common stock in
regular trading on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on the allotment date of the Stock
Acquisition Rights (if there is no transaction made on that day, then the
closing price of the latest date prior to the allotment date of the Stock
Acquisition Rights on which a transaction was made) by 1.025, and any fraction
less than one (1) yen arising therefrom shall be rounded up to the nearest one
(1) yen.
In addition, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted as follows:
(i) If TMC splits or consolidates its shares after the allotment date of the
Stock Acquisition Rights, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted according to the
following formula, and any fraction less than one (1) yen arising therefrom
shall be rounded up to the nearest one (1) yen.
Exercise Price after = Exercise Price before x 1
adjustment adjustment -------------------------
Ratio of split
(or consolidation)
(ii) If TMC issues common stock or sells treasury stock of the common stock at
a price below the market price after the allotment date of the Stock Acquisition
Rights, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted according to the following formula,
and any fraction less than one (1) yen arising therefrom shall be rounded up to
the nearest one (1) yen. However, no adjustment shall be made in the event that
Stock Acquisition Rights are exercised.
Exercise Price Exercise Price Number of + Number of shares X Amount to be
after adjustment = before adjustment X outstanding newly issued paid per share
shares --------------------------------------
Market price
----------------------------------------------------------
Number of + Number of shares
outstanding shares newly issued
'Number of outstanding shares' provided for in the above formula does not
include the number of shares held by TMC as treasury stock, and in the case
where the treasury stock is to be sold, 'Number of shares newly issued' shall be
read as 'Number of shares of treasury stock to be sold.'
(iii) In the event that other classified stock is allotted without
consideration to the common shareholders, shares of other company are delivered

shall be made to the extent reasonable.
