Decision to Change Certified Public Accountant(s)

This release notifies that at the Audit Committee held on October 22, 2026, a resolution was passed to change the certified public accountant(s) who provide audit opinions under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act. Eiwa Audit Corporation was selected as the new candidate based on a comprehensive review of quality control, independence, expertise, and audit structure, and to unify auditors with the parent company Convano, which became the parent on July 2, 2026. The outgoing audit firm is Taiyo LLC, and the ordinary shareholders meeting coinciding with the expiry of its term will be held on December 23, 2026.

Background and Future Actions

Due to changes in the parent company, the company intends to reorganize its audit framework under the new management structure, and after comparing multiple audit firms, determined that Eiwa Audit Corporation is an appropriate successor. There were no particular objections from the outgoing certified public accountant(s), and the Audit Committee considered the change reasonable. Although the release does not specify a detailed schedule, the change of certified public accountant(s) is expected to be implemented in due course.
