    (Translation) NOTICE OF THE 32ND ORDINARY GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS To Our Shareholders: We should like to extend our heartfelt gratitude for your continued understanding of business operations of West Japan Railway Group (the "Group"). The Group very seriously takes its responsibility for the train accident on the Fukuchiyama Line we caused on April 25, 2005 and the gravity of its consequences, and has continued to implement various measures in terms of both physical and intangible aspects to improve safety. In consideration of this, I, as well as all officers and employees of the Group, have determined to continue to faithfully perform our roles in our respective positions with a sense of responsibility to build a safer railway system. Last year, the Group launched a "JR-West Group Medium-Term Management Plan 2022" and its core component, a "JR-West Group Railway Safety Think-and-Act Plan 2022." Based on our resolve never to cause another accident like that on the Fukuchiyama Line, we will implement plans toward the realization of our corporate philosophy and management vision and contribute to the creation of "a safe and comfortable society filled with meetings among people and smiles" which is our vision. With regard to shareholder returns, we will pay stable dividends, aiming for a dividend payout ratio of approximately 35% in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2023. In addition, over the aggregate period up to March 31, 2023, the Company's yardstick will be a total return ratio of approximately 40%, and we will make flexible acquisitions of treasury stock.

    BASELINE REVIEW OF THE HUDSON-BERGEN LIGHT RAIL TRANSIT SYSTEM The following is a baseline review of the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail Transit System (System) in northern New Jersey. The purpose of our baseline reviews is to track the progress of planned fixed guideway systems of national significance, which will enable us to perform timely audits of those projects experiencing cost, schedule, or financing problems. The specific objectives of this review were to determine the current status, estimated cost, funding sources, and completion schedule of the project, and to identify major issues that may affect the project. We selected this system for review because it is the first transit project in the United States in which the contractor will design and build the System and will also operate and maintain it for an established period before turning operations over to the local transit authority. Summary The System is estimated to cost $2 billion and will be constructed in three phases (see Figure 1). New Jersey Transit Corporation (NJT) reported that, as of June 30, 1999, it had paid over $613 million for the first phase of the System. NJT estimated that this phase will cost $950 million, $42.1 million less than the $992.1 million originally estimated in the October 1996 full funding grant agreement. The potential savings resulted primarily from lower financing costs. In addition, the System’s alignment has been changed from the east side of Hoboken to the west side. According to the NJT Project Director, rerouting the alignment will result in savings by reducing the need for track to be embedded into streets and by reducing property acquisition costs.
