Notice of Expiration of J.League Top Partner Contract

Overview of the Termination of the J.League Top Partner Contract

Ichigo Inc. has been active as a J.League Top Partner since 2019, achieving results such as increasing brand awareness, expanding business partners, and building networks with clubs and municipalities across Japan. The contract will end upon expiration at the end of June 2026, and concurrently the 'Ichigo J.League Shareholders and Investors Benefits' program will also be discontinued.

Future Business Development and Outlook

Starting with the 2024 season, Ichigo will concentrate management resources on its community-based sports × real estate model centered around Tegevajaro Miyazaki, a club it owns. The company will engage in regional revitalization and sustainable community building linked with its sports operations. Additionally, it will continue cooperation with local communities, including renovation of Matsue City General Gymnasium, and promote business initiatives across the country that implement the value of sports in society. The impact on consolidated results for the fiscal year ending February 2027 is expected to be minimal.
