(Progress of Disclosures) Notice Regarding the Acquisition of Shares in Itabashi Boeki Co., Ltd. (Making It a Subsidiary): Earn-Out Consideration and Accounting Treatment for the Acquisition of Shares in Itabashi Boeki Co., Ltd.

The accounting treatment for goodwill amortization arising from additional earn-out consideration was changed from the previously planned recognition of the full amount as an extraordinary loss in the fiscal year ending March 2027 to the recognition, beginning in the fiscal year ending March 2026, of amortization equivalent to the preceding five years as selling, general and administrative expenses. The amount is currently being calculated and is expected to be no more than ¥500 million.
