We hereby announce that at a Board of Directors meeting held on July 1, 2026, our company resolved to conclude a basic agreement for the acquisition of shares in Next Security Co., Ltd.

In recent years, against the backdrop of the increasing use of smartphones, tablets, PCs, and other IT devices in corporate operations, the utilization of cloud services, and the establishment of remote work environments, the importance of information security has grown even further throughout the entire lifecycle of IT equipment, from introduction and operation to collection and disposal. We recognize that particularly for corporate customers, there is a growing need for comprehensive support that includes not only the procurement and reuse of devices but also data management, countermeasures against cyberattacks, and support for building and operating security environments. Next Security Co., Ltd. sells cybersecurity solutions, provides consulting, and offers support for building, implementing, and operating related environments. They possess knowledge and a track record in providing services in this domain to corporate customers. If this share acquisition is executed, we will aim to create cross-selling opportunities by leveraging the customer touchpoints of both companies. Specifically, we will propose Next Security's cybersecurity-related services to our corporate customers who have needs for information security measures and IT asset management, among those with whom we have contact through the sale, purchas
