Major shareholders after the offering
Name Convano Inc. / Shareholding ratio 73.61% if all rights are exercised
Intended allottee's holding policy
When the company's share price exceeds the exercise price, the allottee intends to exercise the rights depending on the occurrence of the company's funding needs. The shares acquired through the exercise of these stock acquisition rights are scheduled to be sold at appropriate times, taking into account the liquidity of the company's shares and the proportion of freely tradable shares.
Payment date
30 November 2026
Basis for determining the amount to be paid
Exercise price: ¥31. This was calculated by rounding up ¥30.6, equivalent to 90% of the closing price of ¥34 on 12 November 2026, to the nearest whole yen. This represents an 8.82% discount to the closing price. The issue price of the stock acquisition rights was determined based on the valuation by an independent third-party valuation institution.
Procedures under the Corporate Code of Conduct
The company obtained an opinion from a third-party committee that this third-party allotment would not disadvantage minority shareholders and that it was necessary and appropriate.

The reasons the company gives

The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.

To secure funds for inventory replacement and product purchases for the trading card business, replace inventory whose value has been impaired by falling market prices, secure high-value cards, expand mystery pack sales and reform the earnings structure of the existing businesses. The company also cited its decision to secure working capital through equity, which does not require repayment, rather than borrowings while operating losses continue.
