As a result, the SMBC Group will hold 10.00% of the Company's voting rights. The objective of the alliance is to jointly accelerate AI transformation in the financial industry, aiming to improve operational efficiency and create new business opportunities. The funds raised will be allocated to personnel expenses for a dedicated team as well as strategic investments such as future M&A.\n\n### Impact on Shareholders and Future Outlook\nThis share issuance through a third-party allocation will cause approximately 11.12% dilution but will not change the controlling shareholder, maintaining management independence. The issuance price is set at JPY 565, the closing price on 2026-03-30, with a discount rate ranging from 11.62% to 16.70%. SMBC Group has expressed intentions for long-term holding, and the company expects this alliance to enhance corporate value and shareholder value over the medium to long term. The specific impact on performance from the fiscal year ending in March 2027 onward is currently undetermined.","jir_financial_highlights":"Number of new shares issued by third-party allocation: 9,550,000 shares (Approximately 11.12% dilution relative to outstanding shares)\nAmount of funds raised: JPY 5,395,750,000 (Unknown)\nSumitomo Mitsui Financial Group's voting rights ownership ratio: 10.00% (New acquisition)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#ExaWizardsInc, #CapitalAndBusinessAlliance, #ThirdPartyAllocation, #JapaneseStocks","jir_key_figures":"Amount of funds raised: JPY 5,395,750,000\nNumber of new shares issued: 9,550,000 shares\nSumitomo Mitsui Financial Group's voting rights ownership ratio: 10.00%","jir_meta_title":"ExaWizards Inc.
