The withdrawal entails a voluntary retirement program for about 100 employees across Ishihara Industries and withdrawal of Fuji Titanium Industries. Costs related to the withdrawal will be recorded as extraordinary losses, and we will pursue organizational restructuring to respond to economic fluctuations, with a future growth strategy centered on chlorine-based titanium oxide as a functional material.\n\n### Section 2 Heading\nOverview of the retirement program: recruitment period from October 26 to November 10, 2026, retirement date set to January 31 or March 31, 2027. The cost will be recognized as an extraordinary loss in the March 2027 term. Withdrawal of Fuji Titanium is planned to stop operations within fiscal year 2026, and the treatment of approximately 160 employees will be handled with sincerity.
