Article 1 (Acquisition of Shares)
The Company shall issue the newly issued shares (hereinafter referred to as the “Shares”) to the Investor, and the Investor shall subscribe for the Shares, in
accordance with the details below, as resolved at the meeting of the Board of Directors held on August 27, 2025.

● Payment Date: September 16, 2025
● Bank for Payment: Mizuho Bank, Shinkawa Branch

Reference: Calculation Formula
● $100,000 × 147.8 = 14,780,000 JPY
