IR News Highlights

This notice reports that Kuraré's full-time Audit & Supervisory Board member Hiroaki Hayase has resigned. The resignation date is June 30, 2026, and the reason is personal circumstances. Since it states that the number of Audit & Supervisory Board members remains in compliance with legal and Articles of Incorporation requirements, there appears to be no concern about business continuity.

The plan and schedule for appointing a new Audit & Supervisory Board member are not described in this IR, so further disclosures should be awaited.
