The split is planned as 1 share to 5 shares, and the total number of authorized shares will be expanded from 100,000\u5343 shares to 500,000\u5343 shares. At the same time, a partial amendment to the Articles of Incorporation related to the stock split will be made to raise the upper limit of authorized shares.\n\n### Changes to Shareholder Benefits and Dividend\nThe shareholder benefit program will be revised to align with the post-split holding levels. The new criteria are: 100 or more but less than 500 shares receive digital select gifts (\u00a51,000 value); 500 or more but less than 1,000 shares receive \u00a52,000 value; 1,000 or more but less than 5,000 shares receive catalog gifts (equivalent to \u00a55,000); 5,000 shares or more receive catalog gifts (equivalent to \u00a510,000).
