Uni-Trand Co., Ltd. Uni-Trand Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Motohiro Takano; hereinafter referred to as Uni-Trand), which solves transportation and logistics challenges with digital technology to realize sustainable local communities, will merge with its parent company, Unirita Co., Ltd. (Tokyo Stock Exchange Standard Market: 3800; hereinafter referred to as Unirita) on July 1, 2026. (Disclosed by Unirita Co., Ltd. on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on March 19, 2026). The business of Uni-Trand will be succeeded by the Uni-Trand Business Unit within Unirita's Future Value Design Division. Since its founding in May 2016, Uni-Trand has been developing businesses to solve challenges from the perspective of mobility in transportation and logistics, utilizing digital technology to realize sustainable local communities. Thanks to the relationships built with over 70 local governments and many related businesses, we have supported the resolution of local mobility issues. In recent years, the environment surrounding local transportation has been changing significantly, with various social issues such as declining public transportation users, a shortage of public transportation providers, elderly mobility problems, and the expansion of transportation-deprived areas, all stemming from the fundamental cause of population decline. This merger with Unirita aims to address these social issues and further strengthen our mobility problem-solving business that contributes to the realization of sustainable local communities by integrating Unirita Group's know-how in "data management" and "service management" with the knowledge and expertise in the local public transportation sector cultivated by Uni-Trand. Furthermore, the services currently provided and the support systems for customers will continue to be provided after the merger. ■ Uni-Trand's Participation in National Adoption Projects by Local Governments (as of the end of May 2026) Cabinet Office: Digit
