Notice of Changes in Officers

Overview of Officer Personnel Changes

This notice informs that at the board of directors meeting held on November 9, 2026, provisional decisions were made regarding changes to directors (excluding directors who are audit and supervisory committee members) and directors who are audit and supervisory committee members. The proposed new director candidate is Koichi Tsuchizuka (current position: Advisor). The proposed new audit and supervisory committee member is Masanori Hashimoto (current position: Director, in charge of Production Division and Intellectual Property Group). Directors expected to resign include Yasuhisa Mukoda (current position: Director, in charge of Corporate Strategy Office) and Ryuichi Maeno (current position: Director (Full-time Audit and Supervisory Committee Member)). Final decisions will be made following shareholder approval at the annual general meeting scheduled for December 18, 2026.

Schedule Going Forward and Impact

Because formal appointment of the proposed candidates is subject to shareholder approval, the final composition of officers is expected to be finalized around the end of 2026. Announcements regarding changes to audit and supervisory committee members are likewise conditional on shareholder approval; currently only provisional information has been disclosed. The personnel changes are seen as intended to strengthen corporate strategy and execution structure and may affect future business operations and internal control oversight.
