JOB SEEKERS: PROTECT YOURSELF AGAINST IDENTITY THEFT

Please be aware there are instances of identity thieves posting Takeda-branded jobs and posing as employees in an attempt
to steal personal information from job seekers. They visit job-related websites and invite candidates to online chats. During
the chat, they press job seekers to provide bank account information and personal identi�cation numbers. If you receive
unexpected o�ers of employment from people claiming to work for Takeda, we suggest you do not correspond with them. Do
not click any hyperlinks and do not open an attachments.

At Takeda, we do not ask for personal �nancial information during telephone, in-person or video interviews nor do we charge
job seekers fees as part of the recruitment process. Takeda's recruiting correspondence will be sent by a recruiting
representative with @takeda.com e-mail address – not @gmail.com, @yahoo.com, @hotmail.com or any other e-mail domain
service.

actions: 1) If in the U.S., place a freeze on your credit reports: https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0497-credit-freeze-faqs; 2)
�le a complaint with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission: https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/; and/or 3) �le a report with
your local law enforcement agency immediately.
