Convocation and Results of Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders and Common Stock Shareholders Meeting of PicoCELA Inc.

 

In accordance with the rules and regulations of the Companies Act of Japan (the “Companies Act”), PicoCELA Inc. (the “Company”) made public a notice and provided accompanying information, including voting instructions, on its website on June 3, 2026, and sent the same to all holders of its common shares and American Depositary Shares on June 3, 2026, with respect to its extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the “Extraordinary General Meeting”) and meeting of holders of common shares (the “Common Stock Shareholders Meeting”), which Extraordinary General Meeting and Common Stock Shareholders Meeting were subsequently held in Tokyo, Japan on June 18, 2026 at 10:00 a.m., Japan Standard Time. The Extraordinary General Meeting and Common Stock Shareholders Meeting were held for the following purposes, which purposes are more fully described in the Notice of Convocation attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1:

 

Matters to be Resolved Approving:

 

Proposal 1

Partial Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation

(Proposal for both Extraordinary General Meeting and Common Stock

Shareholders Meeting)

   
Proposal 2

Preferential Issuance of Class A Preferred Shares by Third-Party Allotment

(Proposal for Extraordinary General Meeting)

   
Proposal 3

Election of Two Directors Who Are Not Members of Audit and Supervisory Committee

(Proposal for Extraordinary General Meeting)

 

The notice of convocation furnished in this report as Exhibit 99.1 shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section.

 

A total of 8,729,248 votes, representing approximately 90.80% of the votes as of June 3, 2026, the record date for the Extraordinary General Meeting and Common Stock Shareholders Meeting, were present in person or by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting and Common Stock Shareholders Meeting.

 

At the Extraordinary General Meeting and Common Stock Shareholders Meeting, the shareholders of the Company approved and adopted all proposals as originally proposed.

 

The voting result of the Extraordinary General Meeting was as follows:

 

Proposal   For   Against   Abstain
Proposal 1   8,585,148   143,827   273
Proposal 2   8,584,541   144,464   243
Proposal 3 - Candidate 1)   8,669,387   59,558   303
Proposal 3 - Candidate 2)   8,669,385   59,560   303

 

The voting result of the Common Stock Shareholders Meeting was as follows:

 

Proposal   For   Against   Abstain
Proposal 1   8,585,148   143,827   273

 

For the avoidance of doubt, this Proposal 3 proposed the election of the same two directors approved in accordance with proposal 3 (the “Previous Proposal 3”) of the extraordinary general meeting held on April 30, 2026 (the “Previous Extraordinary General Meeting”). The details of the Previous Extraordinary General Meeting were disclosed on a current report on Form 6-K furnished on May 12, 2026. The effective date of the election of the two directors pursuant to the Previous Proposal 3 was conditioned upon: (i) the approval of the issuance of class A preferred shares by third party allotment in accordance with proposal 2 of the Previous Extraordinary General Meeting (the “Previous Proposal 2”), and (ii) the payment for the issuance of the class A preferred shares pursuant to the Previous Proposal 2 made during the payment period of May 1, 2026 to June 30, 2026 (“Payment Period”). Since the Payment Period elapsed before any payment was made, the Previous Proposal 3 did not become effective.

 

This Proposal 3 will become effective upon the approval of Proposal 2, which approval was obtained at the Extraordinary General Meeting, and the payment for the issuance of class A preferred shares in accordance with this Proposal 2 is made.

 

A copy of the English translation of the amended articles of incorporation is furnished in this report as Exhibit 3.1.

Proposal No. 2: Preferential Issuance of Class A Preferred Shares by Third-Party Allotment
  (Proposal for Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders)

 

Subject to the Shareholders’ approval of Proposal No. 1 Partial Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation, the Company proposes to delegate to the Board of Directors the preferential issuance of Class A Preferred Shares and allotment of the Class A Preferred Shares as stated below.

 

1. Type Securities and Maximum Number of Shares to issue:
   
  Class A Preferred Shares up to 20,000,000 shares
   
2. Minimum Payment Amount per share:
   
  US$0.25 per share less financial advisory fees per share for financial advisory firm

 

Reason for the preferential issuance:

 

This issuance of Class A Preferred Shares is a “preferential issuance of equity sharers”. Reason for the preferential issuance is to raise capital urgently to cope with our current unfavorable financial position and continue to operate as a going concern. We concluded that under the current financial condision, it is not possible to raise the capital required to continue as a going concern by issuing shares at market value and we are proposed by a particular potential investor of interest to issue a large number of shares with voting rights at a price lower than the market price. We concluded that raising capital by preferential issuance of equity shares is the fundamental and ultimate way to serve the shareholders’ interest. With this new capital, we will conduct a restructuring and improve our business operation.

 

Please note the Preferential Issuance of Class A Preferred Shares above will be allotted to “Special Subscriber” defined under the Article 206-2(1) of the Companies Act in Japan as a subscriber who is going to own more than 50% of the Company’s outstanding voting shares at the time of the issuance of the securities subscribed.

 

The description of the “Special Subscriber” and the required disclosure related is as below:

 

  i) Name and address of the Special Subscriber:
     
  About Investment Pte. Ltd.            68 Circular Road #02-01 Singapore 049422
     
  ii) Number of voting rights to be owned by the Special Subscriber if the subscribed shares were allotted to the Special Subscriber:
     
    20,000,000
     
  iii) Total number of the Company’s outstanding voting rights if the subscribed equity shares were allotted to the Special Subscriber:
     
    29,613,805
     
  iv) The Board of Director’s conclusion and the Audit and Supervisory Committee’s opinion on the issuing shares to the Special Subscriber:
     
    It is necessary and appropriate to allot the above number of equity shares with voting rights to the Special Subscriber in order to raise critical capital for the Company’s business operation

  (Proposal for Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders)
