Notice regarding the change in an equity-method affiliate (transfer of shares) and recognition of extraordinary gain

The company will transfer 58,677 shares of AI Square, an equity-method affiliate, to HEROZ for ¥146 million, reducing its voting interest from 42.6% to 16.7%. As a result, AI Square will no longer be an equity-method affiliate of the company, and the company plans to record a gain on the sale of shares in an affiliate for the fiscal year ending December 2023.
