5. Outlook of the impact to the financial results

This disposal of treasury stock by allocation of third party will be accounted for the balance of capital account, therefore no extraordinary loss will be expected and the impact on the financial results of March 2009 and 2010 will be limited on consolidated and non-consolidated basis

6. Rationale for conditions of disposal

(1) Basis for calculating transfer price
Transfer price (paid in value of Corporate Law) set at 510 yen calculated using as a reference of the three months' average closing price 462 yen of FHI shares on the Tokyo Stock Exchange from December 11, 2007 to March 10, 2008 (adding 10% premium, raised to the nearest 10 yen). This premium was decided considering the current market condition and the fluctuation of price until the transfer date.

(2) Basis for deeming acceptable the disposal quantity and the scale of dilution
The number of shares involved will be 61 million and 7.79% of the outstanding shares. FHI will transfer own stock for the purpose of strengthening the further ties with Toyota so the fund will be invested for the joint developed car with Toyota and the capital expenditure for consignment production. On the other hand, Toyota will provide compact car to FHI and also Daihatsu Motor Co., Ltd. ("Daihatsu") is to supply minivehicles and a compact car both on OEM basis.
By these deepen ties, FHI will enhance enterprise value as Subaru brand by clarifying the selection and consolidation matters. Therefore, the number of shares involved and the scale of dilution is rational and the impact on market will be limited.

(2) Reason of selecting the transferee
Toyota and FHI established its capital ties on October 5, 2005 and business ties on March 13, 2006. Since then, FHI and Toyota build up good relationship such as consignment production in FHI's US plant and OEM production by Daihatsu (Toyota Group Company) of an FHI compact car for European market.
FHI has selected Toyota as a transferee of its treasury stock by allocation to third party because FHI asses Toyota is an appropriate partner to enhance its enterprise value.

(3) Holding policy for transferee
Specific agreement like continuous holdings or deposit is not made regarding the shares transferred from FHI to Toyota.
However, pledge form was exchanged in that during two years since the disposal date, in the case of Toyota will transfer all or part of these shares to somebody else, Toyota will immediately notify FHI whose name, address, the number of shares and so on. Then FHI will report to the Tokyo Stock Exchange and that will be available for public inspection.
