We sincerely apologize to residents residing near the power stations and
the general public for the tremendous inconvenience and anxiety that has
arisen on account of the accident at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power
Station and Fukushima Daini Nuclear Power Station (the "Accident").
We, in accordance with "the interim guidelines governing nuclear disaster
compensation due to the accident at Fukushima Daiichi and Daini Power
Stations" (the "Interim Guideline") decided per the Dispute Reconciliation
Committee for Nuclear Damage Compensation on August 5 under the framework
for Nuclear Damage Compensation including the Bill for Nuclear Damage
Compensation Facilitation Corporation enacted on August 3, have been
processing permanent indemnification for determined damages (announced on
August 30), and now we have summarized and arranged the details of
permanent indemnifications for damages to concerned corporations and sole
proprietors as follows:
1. Outline of this Permanent Indemnification
(1) Schedule
We plan to begin sending and receiving application forms on September 27
and to start payment in October this year.
(2) Treatment of provisional compensation
As for the provisional compensation we have been paying to corporations
and sole proprietors, September 26 will be in principle the last day that
applications will be accepted. As for the receipt of applications after
September 27, we will pay by permanent compensation.
We will set off the amount of provisional compensation that we will have
paid at the time of payment of permanent compensation.
(3) Various application forms (please refer to "Appendix 1-1")
We will prepare a common notice and 11 kinds of application forms in
order to correspond to the various types of claims of corporations and
sole proprietors.
(4) Delivery of application forms and claim filing procedures (please
refer to "Appendix 1-2")
i. Provisional Payment Recipients
We will send application forms in accordance with the category of
business and the claimed damage items. We would like the
corporations and sole proprietors to fill in the application form
and claim the damage amount.
ii. Those who have submitted a notification form of the status of
damages
In order to send application forms for permanent indemnification,
we will send a notice instructing them to contact "Fukushima
Nuclear Compensation Consultation Room (Call Center)".
iii. For those who are filing a claim for the first time or have changed
or will change their postal address, we would appreciate it if you
could contact the "Fukushima Nuclear Compensation Consultation Room
(Call Center)" listed at the end of this announcement.
*Start-to-finish procedures that begin with the submission of the
application and concludes with the determination of the amount for
indemnification, and terms for indemnification, have not changed since
the announcement made on August 30 (please refer to the "Appendix 1-3")
2. Principal stance concerning the calculation of the indemnification
amount (please refer to "Appendix 2")
(1) Losses due to the close of business (e.g. damages caused by the
evacuation order)
(please refer to "Reference 1")
-The amount of the sales revenue from the previous year minus the costs
(sales cost) that would have occurred if the business had not been
forced to close down due to the accident will be eligible for
indemnification.
-In addition to the above, the amount of the costs which have arisen in
spite of the close of business (such as labor costs or depreciation
costs, etc.) will also be eligible for indemnification.
(2) Decrease of profit (harmful rumors) (please refer to "Reference 2")
-The part of the information from the previous year multiplied by the
ratio of the decrease of sales caused by the accident will be eligible
for indemnification, as the decrease of profits is partial, different
from the close of business that causes the total loss of sales.
-The calculation method of the amount of sales decrease will depend on
which category the business falls under.
(3) Additional costs
If additional costs have arisen (e.g. costs per withdrawal of products
or disposal) due to the accident, we will indemnify for the actual costs
within a reasonable range.
*Please be advised that we may check if a claim made does not include
any damages caused by other factors such as earthquakes or tsunamis,
which are not eligible for this indemnification.
