Overview of the Tender Offer and Details of the Correction

Based on a board resolution dated February 4, 2026, Brother Industries, Ltd. decided to acquire common shares of MUTOH Holdings Co., Ltd. through a tender offer, which commenced on February 5, 2026. Upon receiving a notice from the Japan Fair Trade Commission indicating no issuance of exclusion orders, corrections were made to certain statements in the tender offer filing and tender offer start announcement. Accordingly, a correction notification was submitted to the Kanto Local Finance Bureau Director in accordance with relevant laws, and the press release and announcement content were amended. The changes did not alter the purchase conditions but mainly involved partial amendments to withdrawal provisions and similar descriptions.

Impact on Investors and Outlook

This correction involves legal amendments to the descriptions related to the conditions and procedures of the tender offer, with no changes to the purchase conditions themselves. The absence of exclusion orders from the Japan Fair Trade Commission signifies clearance of an important prerequisite for executing the tender offer and is considered a positive factor supporting the continuation of the tender offer. Further updates regarding the progress of the tender offer are expected to be disclosed as appropriate.
