Corporation acquired approximately 8,317,000 shares of treasury stock (total amount of \u00a514,488,214,000) through off-auction trading (ToSTNeT-3) on May 12, 2026.

By executing this buyback, the company intends to enhance capital efficiency and strengthen shareholder returns. The detailed purchase amounts and share quantities have been disclosed, indicating this as part of the company's ongoing shareholder return strategies.\n\n### Impact on Shareholders and Future Outlook\nThis share buyback will increase the ratio of treasury stock to total issued shares, expected to prevent dilution and stabilize the share price.
