APLUS Co., Ltd. (hereinafter "APLUS"), a member of the SBI Shinsei Bank Group, will celebrate its 70th anniversary on October 6, 2026. We sincerely thank our customers, business partners, and all other stakeholders for their support, which has enabled us to reach this milestone. To commemorate our 70th anniversary, we have established a commemorative logo and slogan, and will sequentially launch various campaigns for our customers and business partners starting July 1, 2026. APLUS was founded in 1956 (Showa 31) and has supported the lives of our customers and the business activities of our partners by developing our services in shopping credit (credit sales), card services, and payment services. Even amidst rapid environmental changes across the Showa, Heisei, and Reiwa eras, our ability to develop diverse services in response to the needs of the times and continuously pursue improvements in convenience and value for our customers and business partners has become the foundation of APLUS today. Based on the trust and achievements cultivated thus far, and under our "customer-centric approach," APLUS will continue to evolve as a company that creates new value by staying even closer to our customers and business partners as we head towards our 100th anniversary. We look forward to your continued support. ■ 70th Anniversary Commemorative Logo Based on our corporate colors, "APLUS Red" and "APLUS Green," and featuring "Apurakko," our active character, this bright and pop design expresses the excitement of our 70th anniversary. ■ 70th Anniversary Slogan: "Adding New Value to You" This slogan was chosen through an in-house vote from employee submissions. It embodies our desire to be a "valuable company" not only for our customers and business partners, but also for our employees. It is also composed of words starting with "A," the first letter of APLUS, to help recall our company name. ■ Campaigns We are planning campaigns for customers who use APLUS-issued credit cards. De
