The complaint was served on October 2, 2026. The plaintiff claims that a requirements definition services contract had been formed and is claiming compensation and late payment damages. Although efforts were made in 2024 to conclude the contract, it was not formed, and subsequent development outsourcing agreements were also not concluded. AI Tech Solutions maintains that there was no obligation to conclude the contract. The Company expects the litigation to have a minor impact on consolidated results.\n\n### Outlook and Business Alliance\nAI Tech Solutions considers the plaintiff's claims to be without merit and intends to assert its position in the lawsuit. At present, the business alliance between AI Tech Solutions and AICE remains in place, but in light of the filing of this lawsuit, the handling of the future partnership is under review. If any matters requiring disclosure arise, the Company will promptly notify.","jir_financial_highlights":"Claim Amount (Item 1): 13,282,500 yen (Unknown)\nClaim Amount (Item 2): 9,173,774 yen (Unknown)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#Forside, #LegalNews","jir_key_figures":"Claim Amount (Item 1): 13,282,500 yen\nClaim Amount (Item 2): 9,173,774 yen\nDate of Filing: 2026-08-31 (Court: Tokyo District Court)","jir_meta_title":"Forside Co.,Ltd. - Notice of Litigation Filed Against Consolidated Subsidiary\uff5cOctober 2026","jir_meta_description":"Forside Co.,Ltd. announces that its consolidated subsidiary AI Tech Solutions has been sued by AICE Co., Ltd.
