Matters Concerning the Controlling Shareholder

Disclosure of Controlling Shareholder Information

This document summarizes the disclosure of matters concerning the controlling shareholder as of July 31, 2026. Mr. Kiyoshi Matsuura holds 21.55% directly as a controlling shareholder, and a total of 67.24% of voting rights when including aggregated targets such as asset management companies. The purpose of the disclosure is to clarify measures to protect minority shareholders and to ensure transaction transparency. If a transaction is likely to occur, the board of directors will consider the reasons, necessity, and terms of the transaction, and deliberation by a special committee including independent outside directors is planned.

Future Responses and Minority Shareholder Protection

If conflicts of interest arise between the controlling shareholder and minority shareholders, a special committee will be established to deliberate and consider the matter, and appropriate measures will be taken to avoid infringing on minority shareholder rights. No transactions with the controlling shareholder have occurred to date, and in principle no transactions are planned in the future; however, if operational necessity arises, decisions will be made after appropriate disclosure and review.
