Notice of Return of Substitutional (Future) Portion of Employees' Pension Fund

FANUC CORPORATION would like to announce that, upon resolution to return to the National Government the substitutional (future) portion of Employees' Pension Fund at the board of representatives of the FANUC Employees' Pension Fund held on January 25, 2017, the Company made an application to the Minister of Health, Labor and Welfare on January 27, 2017 for relief from the payment obligation for the substitutional portion for the future, and that we have received notice of approval as of April 1, 2017.

In connection with the approval, the Company recognizes the extinction of the projected retirement benefit obligation for the substitutional (future) portion of the Employees' Pension Fund under the "Guidance on Accounting Standard for Retirement Benefits" (Accounting

Standards Board of Japan Guidance No.25). The impact on the financial results for the year ending March 31, 2018 is negligible.

The Company will continue to carry out the procedures for return of the substitutional (past) portion of the Employees' Pension Fund sometime after the above approval and we expect that we will be able to obtain approval for return of the past portion in the year ending March 31, 2019.

In this regard, we expect there will be a certain impact on financial results for the year ending March 31, 2019 in connection with the return of the past portion. We will make an announcement when the impact is clarified.
