Since it was established in 1989, HOTnet has been providing one-stop services that utilize its own optical ﬁber network as an
information and communications services company that always prioritizes its customers based on its vision of creating a better
Hokkaido. As a result of the ongoing development of our network , we can improve our telecommunications services to meet theneeds of customers, our telecommunications services ﬁnally became available to every single municipality of Hokkaido in 2021. We
are also committed to providing prompt and attentive support that can only be achieved by a company with roots in Hokkaido. We

have become increasingly diverse. Against this backdrop, we will continue to work on improving the reliability of our optical ﬁber
network services as a communications infrastructure provider that supports our society and economy. In addition, we plan tofurther expand our business in the area of solution services that address the needs of our customers, including data centers andcloud services, as well as play a role in contributing more broadly to our customers and to society. While we remain resolute in ourvision of creating a better Hokkaido, we are also aiming to expand our services beyond Hokkaido to places such as the Tokyo
metropolitan area. Through this process, we hope to further enhance our flexibility and expertise so that we can adapt appropriately
to changes in the business environment, including advances in technology, and provide new value to our customers, thereby offering
cutting-edge network solutions.
