Terms of the stock acquisition rights
Exercise price
Initially ¥57. On each adjustment date, adjusted to 97% of the closing price on the trading day immediately preceding the adjustment date. Minimum: ¥29. If the exercise is subject to the excess exercise restriction and the calculated price is below the closing price on the resolution date for the issuance, the exercise price will be adjusted to that closing price.
Exercise period
From 6 October 2026 to 6 October 2027
Number of Stock Acquisition Rights
Total issuance: 345,000 rights; unexercised rights: Not disclosed
Reason for acquisition without consideration
If the company's Board of Directors resolves that acquisition is necessary, the company may acquire all or part of the rights at an amount equal to the payment amount. All remaining rights will be acquired on the final day of the exercise period.
Offering structure

PhillipCapital Securities Co., Ltd.
Intended allottee's holding policy
The rights will be held for net investment purposes. As a rule, the common shares acquired through exercise will not be held for an extended period. The holder will make decisions as appropriate based on the share price trend and will generally sell the shares in the market while taking into account the impact on the market. If a counterparty for a block trade is found, the shares will be sold directly off-auction. Transfers of the stock acquisition rights require the approval of the company's Board of Directors.
Payment date
5 October 2026
Basis for determining the amount to be paid
A third-party valuation institution valued the rights using a Monte Carlo simulation. The valuation was based on assumptions including a share price of ¥57, volatility of 46.4%, scheduled dividends of ¥0 and a risk-free interest rate of 1.6%, resulting in a value of ¥7 per stock acquisition right. The exercise price will be adjusted to 97% of the closing price on the trading day immediately preceding each adjustment date, representing a 3% discount. The minimum exercise price of ¥29 is equivalent to 50% of the closing price on the trading day immediately preceding the resolution date for the issuance.
Procedures under the Corporate Code of Conduct
Because the dilution rate is below 25% and does not involve a change in the controlling shareholder, the company determined that obtaining an opinion from an independent third party and conducting procedures to confirm shareholders' intent were unnecessary. Regarding the issue price of the stock acquisition rights, the 3 corporate auditors, all of whom are outside corporate auditors, expressed the opinion that it was reasonable and lawful.
