(Notes)

1 As Renesas has issued stock acquisition rights, “Current total number of issued shares” refers to the total number of issued shares as of May 31, 2021.

2 In addition to the issuance of new shares through the Japanese Public Offering and the International Offering above, Renesas may additionally issue up to 3,637,300 shares of common stock of Renesas to the designated Japanese underwriter by way of third-party allotment (the “Third-Party Allotment”) in connection with the secondary offering by way of over-allotment, with the payment date set to be June 28, 2021.

4. Use of Proceeds

In February 2021, Renesas reached an agreement with Dialog Semiconductor Plc (“Dialog”), a UK.-headquartered analog semiconductor supplier, to acquire the entire issued and to be issued share capital of Dialog and thereby make Dialog a wholly owned subsidiary of Renesas (the “Acquisition”). The Acquisition consideration of the entire issued and to be issued share capital of Dialog totals approximately EUR 4,886 million (approximately 615.7 billion yen based on the exchange rate as of February 3, 2021 of 126 yen per Euro). Renesas executed a Facilities Agreement with MUFG Bank, Ltd. and Mizuho Bank, Ltd., (borrowing limit: 735.4 billion yen) to procure necessary funds for the Acquisition. The fundraising through the issuance of new shares is intended to convert a part of funds to be obtained through such Facilities Agreement to long-term funds. Accordingly, Renesas intends to use the aggregate maximum amount of proceeds of 224,410,628,170 yen to be obtained from the Japanese Public Offering, the International Offering and the Third-Party Allotment to fund a part of the purchase price for the Acquisition. In this case, Renesas will not borrow the equivalent amount through the Facilities Agreement. The Acquisition is expected to close by the end of calendar year 2021.

However, if any of the Japanese Public Offering, the International Offering and the Third-Party Allotment are consummated after the payment date of the purchase price for the Acquisition, the proceeds from such delayed financing will be used to repay a part of borrowings under the Facilities Agreement that Renesas procures for payment of the purchase price for the Acquisition.

Although, the Acquisition is expected to close by the end of calendar year 2021 as noted above, the closing of the Acquisition is subject to, among other things, the sanction by the UK court and regulatory approvals from the relevant countries; therefore, the Acquisition may not be consummated if any or all of these conditions are not met.

In the event that the Acquisition is not consummated, the proceeds will be used in whole or in part for repayments of existing borrowings, investments in the businesses, capital expenditure or working capital.

In either case, the proceeds will be managed in a bank account until actual expenditure.
