前条第一項の規定による通知を受けた株主は、その有する株式の譲渡しの申込みをしようとするときは、株式会社に対し、その申込みに係る株式の数（種類株式発行会社にあっては、株式の種類及び数）を明らかにしなければならない。
If a shareholder who receives a notice pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (1) of the preceding Article intends to make an offer to transfer the shares the shareholder holds, the shareholder must disclose to the stock company the number of shares (or, for a company with class shares, the classes of the shares and the number of the shares for each class) relating to that offer.
株式会社は、第百五十七条第一項第四号の期日において、前項の株主が申込みをした株式の譲受けを承諾したものとみなす。ただし、同項の株主が申込みをした株式の総数（以下この項において「申込総数」という。）が同条第一項第一号の数（以下この項において「取得総数」という。）を超えるときは、取得総数を申込総数で除して得た数に前項の株主が申込みをした株式の数を乗じて得た数（その数に一に満たない端数がある場合にあっては、これを切り捨てるものとする。）の株式の譲受けを承諾したものとみなす。
A stock company is deemed to have accepted, on the date provided for in Article 157, paragraph (1), item (iv), the transfer of shares that the shareholders under the preceding paragraph offered;provided, however, that if the total number of shares that the shareholders under that paragraph offered (hereinafter in this paragraph referred to as "total number of shares offered") exceed the number provided for in paragraph (1), item (i) of that Article (hereinafter in this paragraph referred to as "total number of shares to be acquired"), it is deemed that the stock company has accepted the transfer of the shares in the number obtained by first dividing the total number of shares to be acquired by the total number of shares offered, and then multiplying relevant product by the number of the shares offered by the shareholders under the preceding paragraph (if the number so obtained includes a fractional share, this fractional share is to be rounded off).
