The issuance will be conducted through a third-party allotment, and each Bond will be issued in denominations of JPY 10,000,000. The sale of the Bonds is expected to close on December 12, 2025 (the “Closing Date”), on which date the Bonds will be issued to the investors (the “Bond Holders”) under the Terms of Third Unsecured Convertible-Type Corporate Bonds with Share Options (the “Indenture”) pursuant to the Companies Act of Japan. Under the Indenture, the Bonds will be unsecured, accrue interest at a rate of 2.0% per annum from the day immediately following the issue date until June 30, 2026 (the “Maturity Date”). Interest is payable in two installments, with the first payment due on December 29, 2025 and the final payment due on the Maturity Date, unless earlier redeemed or converted. Pursuant to the Indenture, the Company shall repay the total amount of the principal on the Maturity Date. The Company may extend the Maturity Date to December 25, 2026, by notifying the Bond Holders in writing or by electronic mail prior to the Maturity Date. If the Maturity Date is extended, remaining interest will be payable on June 30, 2026, and December 25, 2026. At any time between December 12, 2025, and June 10, 2026, the Bond Holder may convert each Bond at its option, in whole but not in part, into common shares, no par value, of the Company. The conversion price is JPY 343 per common share, subject to customary adjustments upon the occurrence of certain events. The Company may, at its option, redeem the Bonds prior to the Maturity Date on any business day falling between June 1, 2026 and the Maturity Date, provided that the Company has delivered to the Bond Holders, at least fifteen business days before the proposed redemption date, a notice of early redemption specifying such business day as the redemption date. The Company, acting with the agreement of the Bond Holder, may repurchase and cancel the Bonds prior to the Maturity Date. Under the Indenture, the Bond Holder may not transfer the Bonds without the consent of the Company’s board of directors.
Upon the occurrence of certain conditions, the Bond Holder may demand immediate repayment of the Bonds under the Indenture. These conditions include, among others, the Company’s failure to timely pay interest and failure to remedy the nonpayment within 30 days; certain other default events regarding other indebtedness incurred or guaranteed by the Company; the Company resolving to commence bankruptcy, civil rehabilitation, or similar proceedings, or receiving an order to commence such proceedings; or an asset essential to the Company’s business operations becoming subject to compulsory execution or provisional attachment, or the occurrence of other circumstances which significantly damage the creditworthiness of the Company.
The gross proceeds from the sale of the Bonds are expected to be JPY 400,000,000. The Company intends, but is not obligated, to use the proceeds from the sale of the Bonds for general corporate or financing purposes that the Company determines to be appropriate from time to time.
The Bonds are being issued and sold outside the United States in reliance upon the safe harbor provided by Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Bonds, the common shares issuable upon the conversion of the Bonds, and any American Depositary Shares that may represent such common shares issuable upon the conversion of the Bonds have not been registered under the Securities Act, or any other securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or applicable exemption from registration requirements.

| (3) | Conversion Price |
The price per share used to calculate the number of the Issuer's common shares to be delivered upon the exercise of the Share Options (hereinafter referred to as the "Conversion Price") shall be JPY 343, which is the amount obtained by converting into Japanese Yen the weighted average of the closing prices of the Issuer's American Depositary Shares representing one share of the Issuer's common shares on the NASDAQ Stock Market during the one-month period preceding November 26, 2025 (the day before the date of the resolution of the Board of Directors concerning the issuance of the Bonds with the Share Options), based on the TTM rate (Telegraphic Transfer Middle rate) for one US Dollar to Japanese Yen quoted by Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation as of November 26, 2025. Any fraction less than JPY 1 resulting from the calculation shall be rounded up to the nearest whole yen.
In the event the Issuer conducts a share split or reverse share split of its common shares, the conversion price shall be adjusted in accordance with the following formula, provided, however, that such adjustment shall be made to the conversion price of Share Options that have not been exercised at the time of such adjustment, and any fraction of less than one yen resulting from such adjustment shall be rounded down.
Adjusted Conversion Price = Original Conversion Price x Ratio of Split or Reverse Split

The exercise period for the Share Options shall be from December 12, 2025, to June 10, 2026 (or December 7, 2026, if the Maturity Date of the Bonds is extended), provided, however, that the exercise period shall terminate earlier (i) in the case of optional early redemption of the Bonds at the Issuer's election, on the date the notice of redemption is submitted to the Bondholders, or (ii) in the case of loss of the benefit of time (acceleration), on the date such loss of the benefit of time occurs; and furthermore, if the last day of the exercise period is not a Bank Business Day, the last day of the exercise period shall be the immediately preceding Bank Business Day.

| ① | Issue Price per Share in the Event Shares are Issued by Exercise of Share Options | |
| The issue price of one common share of the Issuer upon the exercise of the Share Options shall be the amount obtained by dividing the total amount to be paid for the Bonds subject to the exercise by the number of shares set forth in Item (1) of this paragraph. |
| ② | Stated Capital and Capital Reserve to be Increased in the Event Shares are Issued by Exercise of Share Options | |
| The amount of stated capital to be increased in the event shares are issued by exercise of the Share Options shall be one-half of the maximum amount of increase in stated capital calculated in accordance with Article 17(1) of the Company Accounting Rules, and any fraction of less than one yen resulting from such calculation shall be rounded up. In addition, the amount of capital reserve to be increased in the event shares are issued by exercise of the Share Options shall be the amount obtained by subtracting the amount of stated capital to be increased from the said maximum amount of increase in stated capital. |
| (8) | Reason for not Requiring Payment of Money in Exchange for Share Options and Rationale of Conversion Price |
The Bonds and Share Options are closely related: the Share Options are attached to the CBs and may not be transferred severally from the Bonds, and the Bonds in connection with such Share Options will be contributed in the case of exercise of the Share Options, and the exercisable period of the Share Options will end and be extinguished accordingly in the case of early repayment. Taking into account such relationship, and considering economic value in theory inherent in the Share Options based on the assumption of the Conversion Price determined as described in Article 18, Item (3) hereof, and economic value in practice to be obtained by the Issuer under the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the agreement to be entered into with the CB Holder, the interest rate, Early repayment and issue price of the Bonds and other issuance conditions, the Issuer has concluded that no cash payment is required in exchange for the Share Options.

| (10) | Timing of Effectuation of Exercise of Share Options |
Exercise shall take into effect on the day when the entire documents necessary for exercise has arrived at the designated place of receipt of exercise set forth in Item (12) hereof.
