Grainger, Inc. is the parent company holding 50.34% of the Company\u2019s voting rights, owning these through its 100% subsidiaries Grainger International, Inc. and Grainger Global Holdings, Inc. Grainger is listed on the New York Stock Exchange and operates an MRO indirect materials and consumables sales business primarily in the United States. Our company is positioned as the core company for the Grainger Group\u2019s domestic MRO sales business in Japan.\n\n### Our Company\u2019s Independence and Concurrent Directorships\nWe conduct our business based on maintaining independence in operations and transactions with Grainger and its group companies. Two directors (Masaya Suzuki and Thomas Abe) concurrently serve as officers of Grainger; however, this does not hinder MonotaRO\u2019s autonomous management decisions. Currently, transactions with the Grainger Group are limited and we are not heavily dependent on them, so a certain degree of independence is secured. Regarding the Board composition, there are two directors concurrently serving as parent company officers, and we intend to keep this below half in the future.","jir_financial_highlights":"Total Voting Rights Ownership: 50.34% (Unknown)\nParent Company Capital: 54,830 thousand USD (Unknown)\nNumber of Directors Concurrently Serving as Parent Company Officers: 2 (Unknown)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#MonotaRO, #ControllingShareholder, #GeneralIR","jir_key_figures":"Total Voting Rights Ownership: 50.34% (As of December 31, 2025)\nParent Company Capital: 54,830 thousand USD (W.W.
