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.

We have been making every effort to provide swift and fair compensations 
to concerned persons in accordance with the Nuclear Compensation System 
including the Nuclear Disaster Compensation Law. Today we make an 
announcement on the following 3 points.

1.The second sending of application forms to corporations and sole 
  proprietors

  The second round of permanent indemnification period for damages 
  confirmed from September 1 to November 30, 2011 has commenced and 
  application forms for individuals have been sent out (already announced 
  on November 24, 2011). Today we start sending out and are now open to 
  application forms (appendix) for corporations and sole proprietors.

  Those who have not applied for the first compensation (from March 11 to 
  August 31, 2011) are eligible to apply for it by these application forms. 

2.Commencement of permanent indemnification to persons engaged in 
  agriculture and forestry within the designated evacuation area

  Application period for provisional compensation to persons engaged in 
  agriculture and forestry within the designated evacuation area ended on 
  December 4, 2011. Application arrived from today will be treated as 
  applications for permanent indemnification. The amount paid as 
  provisional compensation will be deemed to be a part of permanent 
  indemnification.

3.Indemnification standards for reputation damages of service business

  While ratio of decrease of sales caused by the factors other than the 
  nuclear accident (mainly the Great East Japan Earthquake) from the time 
  of occurrence of the earthquake to August 31 was set as 3% in 
  indemnification standard for reputation damages of service business, 
  ratio of decrease of sales in and after September in the second 
  application of indemnification has been set as 0% since the impact from 
  the earthquake has gradually decreased.
