September 30, 2026: Matters Concerning the Controlling Shareholder

Overview

This disclosure concerns matters relating to the controlling shareholder and details the breakdown of voting rights owned by the parent company/controlling shareholder (Mr. Tsutomu Seguchi) and the transaction policy with the controlling shareholder. The ownership structure is shown as 10.84% direct ownership, 45.23% aggregated applicable portion, and 56.07% total (after deduction of 526,623 shares of treasury stock). It states that transactions with the controlling shareholder will be conducted on general terms and that protections for minority shareholders will be appropriately observed. This is a governance and shareholder composition disclosure, not a financial statement disclosure.

Impact on Investors and Key Points Going Forward

The high proportion of voting rights held by the controlling shareholder suggests significant influence over approvals of important matters. Going forward, attention will focus on how the deliberation of transaction terms with the controlling shareholder and judgments based on market conditions are reflected in protections for minority shareholders. Although not related to financial statements, investors should monitor this information closely as it directly affects governance stability and the maintenance and enhancement of shareholder value.
