Notice of Change to Start Date of Shareholder Benefit Point Service “Yutai no Izumi” and Other Matters

Overview

abc Co., Ltd. has changed the start date and some usage methods for its shareholder benefit point usage service "Yutai no Izumi" through a series of disclosures. The start date will be November 6, 2026, and will apply primarily to the four partner companies with which partnership contracts were concluded. Specific usage procedures, display pages, and the addition of a shareholders-only page have been added or modified, and some start conditions have been reviewed. Confirmation of benefit point balances will be provided via the shareholder benefit app once preparation is complete. The impact on future operating results is expected to be minor, and any additional disclosures will be made promptly.

Impact on Shareholders and Future Outlook

With the service launch and certain modifications, the procedure for using benefit points at partner stores will be completed either by shareholder operation or by store input, instead of requiring employee mediation. Existing policies regarding exchange voucher expiration settings and the timing of point deductions will continue. Partnership contracts with four companies have been executed, and progress on additional contracts will be announced as it occurs. The consolidated impact on results for the fiscal year ending August 2027 is expected to be small; any material impact will be disclosed.
