TOKAI COM is a company ranked fourth in sales in the domestic ISP industry. Cooperation with
Shingakukai as an outset, TOKAI COM will start to provide a new alliance model to address market

Under this model, the actual optical internet service is fully operated by TOKAI COM, allowing partnercompanies to concentrate on sales to their own customers. The model, therefore, is a service for companies
which wish to develop optical internet services, an infrastructure service for everyday life, under their own
brand.
As energy operators (city gas, LP gas) are already expressing their interest, TOKAI COM is considering
further actively promoting the model in the future.

lifestyle infrastructure services closely attached to people’s lives, including energy, information andcommunications, and CATV. Currently, 2.83 million customers are using the Group services. Going forward,
by continuing to actively work toward providing products and services that can contribute to solving regionaland social issues, the Group will aim to improve customer satisfaction.
