The company clearly denies that these were announced by us.\n\n### Future Actions and Outlook on Goodwill Impairment Loss\nThese matters will be submitted for deliberation at the Board of Directors meeting scheduled on February 13, 2026, and if any facts subject to disclosure are determined, they will be promptly announced.
