Continuous holding status will be confirmed on the record dates of January 31 and July 31 and the record date six months prior, and the maximum amount of shareholder benefit vouchers on the official Himiko website will be increased from 40,000 yen to 50,000 yen.\n\n### Application of Continuous Holding and Eligibility Conditions\nThe six-month continuous-holding determination will be based on continuity of the shareholder number, and holders of 1,000 shares or more as of the end of July 2027 will be eligible for the large-holdings benefit. Regardless of the number of shares as of the end of January, if the number of shares as of the end of July and the continuous-holding condition are met, the shareholder is eligible.
