Notification Regarding Issuance of Performance Target-Linked Stock Acquisition Rights (Stock Options with Charge)

Sansan, Inc. (“the Company”) announces today that, in accordance with the provisions of Articles 236, 238 and 240 of the Companies Act, a resolution has been passed to issue Stock Acquisition Rights to its directors. Details of the resolution, which was passed at a Board of Directors’ meeting held on September 16, 2025, are as set out below. The Stock Acquisition Rights will be issued at fair value and not particularly favorable to the individuals to whom they are issued. Thus, the Stock Acquisition Rights will be implemented without obtaining approval from a general meeting of shareholders. In addition, the Stock Acquisition Rights will not be paid as remuneration. Instead, those eligible will be able to opt in as an individual investment decision.

1. Purpose and Reason for Issuance

The objectives of issuing the Stock Acquisition Rights with charge to directors are to further increase their motivation and morale, as well as to further enhance their cohesiveness in order to expand the Company’s shareholder and corporate value over the medium to long term.

If all of the Stock Acquisition Rights are exercised, the total number of issued shares as of the end of August 2025 will be diluted by up to approximately 0.09%. However, the Company recognizes that the achievement of the exercise conditions set for the Stock Acquisition Rights will contribute to the improvement of shareholder value and corporate value. For this reason, the Company believes that the issuance of the Stock Acquisition Rights will contribute to the benefit of its existing shareholders. Additionally, the Company believes that the effect of stock dilution due to the issuance will fall within an acceptable range.
In addition, the allocation agreement for the Stock Acquisition Rights shall set forth a malus clause. This clause enables all or part of unexercised Stock Acquisition Rights granted to a director to be forfeited in specific cases by determination of the Board of Directors following consultation with the Nomination and Remuneration Advisory Committee. Such specific cases include a serious violation against laws and regulations or internal rules of the Company Group caused by the relevant Director or in an area in charge of said director.

2. Outline of Issuance

(1) Name of Stock Acquisition Rights
Sansan, Inc. Series 19 Stock Acquisition Rights

(2) Persons to Whom Stock Acquisition Rights Are to Be Allotted, Number of Those Persons, and Number of Stock Acquisition Rights to Be Allotted

The Company’s Directors 5 persons, 1,147 rights

(3) Class and Number of Shares to Be Acquired upon Exercise of Stock Acquisition Rights
The class of shares to be issued upon exercise of the Stock Acquisition Rights shall be common stock of the Company, and the number of shares to be issued upon exercise of each of the Stock Acquisition Rights (“the Number of Granted Shares”) shall be one hundred (100).
The Number of Granted Shares shall be adjusted according to the following formula in the event that, after the allotment date of the Stock Acquisition Rights, the Company conducts a stock split (including the gratis allotment of common stock of the Company; the same shall apply hereinafter) or a stock consolidation.

Number of Granted Shares after Adjustment Number of Granted Shares before Adjustment × Ratio of Stock Split
(or Stock Consolidation)

In addition, the Number of Granted Shares shall be appropriately adjusted to the extent reasonable in the event that, after the allotment date of the Stock Acquisition Rights, the Company conducts a merger, company split or share exchange, or share transfer (“merger, etc.”) that require adjustment of the Number of Granted Shares. Provided, however, that such adjustment shall be made only with respect to the number of shares underlying the Stock Acquisition Rights that have not been exercised at the time of such adjustment, and any fraction less than one share arising from the adjustment shall be rounded down.

(4) Total Number of Stock Acquisition Rights
1,147 rights

The total number of shares that are to be issued upon exercise of the Stock Acquisition Rights shall be 114,700 shares of common stock of the Company, and in the event the number of shares to be issued upon exercise of the Stock Acquisition Rights is adjusted pursuant to Paragraph (3) above, the number shall be obtained by multiplying the number of shares to be issued upon exercise of the Stock Acquisition Rights after adjustment by the number of Stock Acquisition Rights.

(5) Amount to Be Paid in Exchange for Stock Acquisition Rights
The amount of money to be paid in exchange for Stock Acquisition Rights shall be JPY4,800. This amount was determined based on the results of a Monte Carlo simulation, which is a general option pricing model, taking into account the stock price and other factors of the Company, by Plutus Consulting Co., Ltd., a third-party valuation institution. Thus, the amount is not particularly favorable to the individuals to whom they are issued.

(6) Value or Calculation Method of Assets to Be Contributed upon Exercise of Stock Acquisition Rights
The value of the assets to be contributed upon the exercise of the Stock Acquisition Rights shall be the amount obtained by multiplying the amount to be paid per share to be issued of JPY1,943 (“the Exercise Price”) by the Number of Granted Shares.

In the event that the Company conducts a stock split, or a stock consolidation, after the allotment date of the Stock Acquisition Rights, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted according to the following formula, and any fraction less than one JPY arising from the adjustment shall be rounded up.

Exercise Price after Adjustment Exercise Price before Adjustment × 1
Ratio of Stock Split
(or Stock Consolidation)

In the event that, after the allotment date of the Stock Acquisition Rights, the Company issues new shares or disposes of treasury shares of the Company’s common stock at a price below the market price (except in the case of a conversion or exercise of securities [including those attached to bonds with stock acquisition rights] that can be converted into the Company’s common stock or convertible securities or which enable the holders thereof to make requests for the delivery of the Company’s common stock), the above Exercise Price shall be adjusted according to the following formula, and any fraction less than one JPY arising from the adjustment shall be rounded up.

Exercise Price
after
Adjustment
Exercise Price
before
Adjustment
× Number of
Outstanding
Shares
Number of
New Shares
to Be Issued
× Amount to
Be Paid per
Share
Quotation per Share before Issuance
Number of Outstanding Shares + Number of New Shares to Be Issued

In the above formula, the “Number of Outstanding Shares” is the total number of issued common shares of the Company minus the number of treasury shares of common shares held by the Company. When disposing of treasury stock related to the Company’s common stock, the “Number of New Shares to Be Issued” shall be replaced by “Number of Treasury Stock to Be Disposed Of.” In addition, in the event that, after the allotment date of the Stock Acquisition Rights, the Company merges, conducts a gratis allocation of shares, or otherwise requires adjustment of the above exercise price, or should adjustment to the abovementioned exercise price become necessary, the Exercise Price shall be deemed adjustable within an appropriately reasonable range in consideration of the conditions of merger, etc. and the conditions for a gratis allocation of shares.

(7) Exercise Period of Stock Acquisition Rights
The period during which Stock Acquisition Rights are exercisable is from September 17, 2027, to August 26, 2035 (provided, however, that if the last day is not a Bank Business Day, it shall be the Previous Bank Business Day).

However, if a stock split or reverse stock split is carried out after the allotment date, the value shall be adjusted according to the following formula (rounded up to the nearest yen unit):

Adjusted stock price Stock price before adjustment × 1
Ratio of split (or reverse split)

  1. ii.The Holders of the Stock Acquisition Rights may exercise 50% of the Stock Acquisition Rights if the net sales recorded in the consolidated statement of profit and loss of the Company for the fiscal year ending May 31, 2027 exceed JPY61,518 million or the adjusted operating profit exceeds JPY11,073 million, and may exercise 100% of the Stock Acquisition Rights if both the net sales exceed JPY61,518 million and the adjusted operating profit exceeds JPY11,073 million.
