(5)Status After the Company Split
There will be no change in the name, location, business description, share capital, or fiscal

2.Change to a Consolidated Subsidiary (Sale of Share)
(1)Reason for Sale of Share
The Company made logmi, a provider of event transcription services, into a consolidated subsidiary in August 2020. Since then, we have been advancing collaboration and other initiatives between the two companies, aiming to boost logmi’s business performance with the introduction of the Company’s know-how and to create synergies.
After receiving a proposal from Uzabase to purchase shares in logmi, we have decided to sell the shares to increase our capital and asset efficiency.

3.Outlook
The impact of the succession of a certain business of logmi through a company split and the share transfer on the Company’s consolidated net sales and adjusted operating profit is minimal, and there is no change to the earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending May 31,2026. In the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ending May 2026, we expect to post an extraordinary gain on sales of shares of subsidiaries and affiliates associated with the share transfer. We are currently in the process of determining its amount and will promptly announce any matter that should be disclosed if it arises.
