Decision and Details
Application for approval to extend the filing deadline for the Annual Securities Report for the 161st Fiscal Period (Fiscal Year Ending March 2026)
The core systems were shut down and various files stored on the servers were encrypted as a result of unauthorized access by an external third party. Because the core systems are unavailable, the Company has been forced to perform the closing process manually, significantly delaying procedures related to the closing. In addition, new internal control evaluation procedures and audits are required due to changes in business processes, and the audits are expected to take considerably longer than usual.
Procedures related to the closing for the fiscal year ending March 2026 have not been completed, and the Company is unable to complete preparation of the Annual Securities Report and the statutory audit procedures by the statutory filing deadline.
