US and Canadian residents can purchase Sony ADRs through a brokerdealer or through a Direct Purchase Plan (the "Plan"). The Plan is sponsored and administered by Sony's Depositary Bank, JP Morgan Chase. The Plan registration is open to U.S. and Canadian residents only and is designed to provide existing owners of ADRs and new interested investors who would like to participate in the Plan a convenient way to invest and/or increase their investment in Sony ADRs. The plan allows you to reinvest your dividend. Sony has agreed to the establishment of the Plan by JP Morgan Chase, but does not, and should not be deemed to, sponsor or administer the Plan. Sony assumes no obligation or liability for the operation of the Plan. Please refer to the Sony website Terms of Use (below) for more details regarding links to non-Sony sites.

Individual investors who are not United States or Canadian residents can purchase Sony ordinary shares through their custodian banks, a stockbroker, or generally any institution that offers brokerage services.
