Notice Regarding Store Opening Plan (Shikoku-Chuo City, Ehime Prefecture)

Update to Business Strategy and Outline of Store Opening Plan

This matter reports that the board of directors resolved to enter into a fixed-term building lease reservation agreement to open a hotel in Shikoku-Chuo City, Ehime Prefecture, as part of accelerated store openings under the medium-term management plan announced in February 2025. The contract signing date and lease commencement date are disclosed, while the total rent amount is not specified due to a confidentiality agreement. There are no capital, personnel, or transactional relationships with related parties, and confirmation has been made that the counterparty is not an antisocial force. The impact on future financial results is expected to be minor; if any material impact becomes apparent, it will be disclosed promptly.

Financial Impact and Future Schedule

The impact on current-term financial results is expected to be minor; however, monitoring will continue because the total rent could potentially equal or exceed 30% of prior fiscal year consolidated net assets. The signing of the lease reservation agreement is scheduled for November 17, 2026, and the lease commencement date is scheduled for January 31, 2028. This project is positioned as part of the strategy to strengthen and expand the hotel business in line with the medium-term plan.
