PayPay Corporation (hereinafter "PayPay") and LINE Yahoo Corporation (hereinafter "LINE Yahoo") will begin linking their "LINE" and "PayPay" accounts from summer 2026 onwards (Note 1). This integration of Japan's largest communication app and cashless payment service will enable a new service experience where "PayPay" can be used with just "LINE". Through this linkage, users will be able to send "PayPay balance" (Note 2) and use the "Group Payment" feature for splitting bills directly within "LINE" chats, without needing to go through the PayPay app. Additionally, users can opt to display their "LINE" friends within the PayPay app, allowing for smoother transfers of "PayPay balance" to "LINE" friends. Furthermore, a "LINE Mini App" version of "PayPay" is also planned (Note 3). "LINE" users who do not currently use "PayPay" will be able to register for a PayPay account directly on "LINE" without using the PayPay app. Note 1: User consent is required for account linkage. Basic functions of "LINE" and "PayPay" will remain available as before even if this linkage is not performed. However, functions requiring account linkage, and "Unlinked PayPay Points" earned on "LINE" after the start of point integration, will not be usable. Also, if "LINE" and "Yahoo! JAPAN" or "PayPay" and "Yahoo! JAPAN" accounts are already linked, agreeing to the "LINE" and "PayPay" account linkage will link all three accounts: "LINE", "Yahoo! JAPAN", and "PayPay". For details, please check the linkage consent screen. Note 2: Sending PayPay Money balance is considered a transfer, while sending PayPay Money Lite balance is considered a gift. For details, please refer to the PayPay Balance Terms of Use (https://about.paypay.ne.jp/terms/consumer/rule/balance/). Note 3: "LINE Mini App" is a new app platform that allows businesses to offer their services within "LINE". Services such as membership cards, mobile ordering, and reservation acceptance can be provided on "LINE" without requiring additional
