**25th Term**

**Business Report**

**From January 1, 2025**

**To December 31, 2025**

**1.** **Matters concerning the current status of the Company** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(1)** **Business Progress and Results** 

The fiscal year under review was a year of uncertainty surrounding economic activity due to continuing inflationary pressures and interest rate policies in various countries. In Japan, rising prices have led to a decline in real household wages and cautious consumer behavior. Meanwhile, the hosting of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games has boosted interest in sports, positively impacting related industries. In the education and sports market in which our company operates, the target population is shrinking due to the declining birthrate, while education costs per child are on the rise, creating demand for high-value-added services. At the same time, rising prices are making it more difficult for families to select extracurricular activities, intensifying the competitive environment. In addition, in public education, the shift to local club activities, aimed at reducing teachers' long working hours, has become a fully-fledged national policy, and the need for outsourcing to private businesses is rapidly expanding.

In this environment, guided by our corporate philosophy of "To change and design sports," we worked to strengthen our management foundation with the aim of achieving further growth. As a notable achievement, in October 2025, the Company listed its shares on the NASDAQ Capital Market, becoming the first Japanese sports-related company to do so. This remarkable achievement has established a solid foundation for accelerating our future growth strategy, including overseas expansion and M&A.

This is due to the strategic allocation of human resources associated with the re-contracting of Nagoya City's club activity business and the new contracting of other large-scale club activity businesses. Starting in the second half of 2024, we were re-contracted to operate six of the eight wards (111 schools and 718 club activities) of Nagoya City's "New Athletic and Cultural Activities" for public elementary schools, which had previously been contracted to other companies. Furthermore, in the first half of 2025, we were newly contracted to operate large-scale club activity businesses in Suita City, Osaka Prefecture, and Shibuya Ward, Tokyo. We positioned this as a highly important large-scale project and focused our entire company's human resources on this business, which resulted in a temporary curb in the number of new school openings in our school business. However, our track record of leading this club activity business to success has been highly praised by local governments across the country, and as the number of schools contracted for club activities increases, we now have a large market share in this field.

Leveraging financial strength gained from our NASDAQ listing and large-scale fundraising, we intend to further increase our corporate value by driving renewed growth in our school business and further expansion of our social business.

As a result of the above, our performance for the fiscal year under review was net revenue of ¥11,586,368,000 (up 13.61% from the previous fiscal year), ordinary income of ¥474,506,000 (down 1.59% from the previous fiscal year), and net income of ¥298,930,000 (down 21.71% from the previous fiscal year).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(2)** **Capital Investment Status** 

Total capital investments made during the fiscal year under review amounted to 80 million yen, primarily for the acquisition of office equipment and improvements to our customer management system.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(3)** **Fundraising Status** 

In connection with our IPO on the NASDAQ Capital Market in the United States on October 9, 2025, we issued 1.25 million new shares through a public offering (issue price of $4 per share, totaling $5 million).

To facilitate flexible fundraising and improve capital efficiency, we have entered into commitment line agreements totaling ¥2,500 million with six major financial institutions. There was no outstanding borrowing balance under these agreements as of the end of the fiscal year.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(4)** **Issues to be addressed** 

To achieve sustainable growth in corporate value while fulfilling our social responsibilities as a company listed on the NASDAQ, we plan to prioritize addressing the following five issues.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;① Increase added value in our school business and optimize our teaching structure

In our core school business, we are focusing on adding high value to ensure our students continue to be chosen by parents amid a challenging environment in which rising prices have made them more selective about extracurricular activities. To achieve this, we are focusing on optimizing our instruction system to ensure our students remain our top choice.

In terms of quality, we plan to provide high-quality instruction services by strengthening school inspections and employee training. As a foundation for maintaining and providing high-quality services, we plan to continue to improve our management system, including assigning assistant instructors (part-time) and increasing the number of classes.

Rather than simply expanding in size, we plan to provide optimal service to all members by increasing the number of instructors and appropriately distributing class sizes.

This will also create a system in which even younger children can participate with peace of mind, improving customer satisfaction, reducing withdrawals, and increasing lifetime value (LTV). In terms of attracting customers, we plan to strengthen social media advertising through web marketing and introduce inside sales to attract students with light needs.

As part of our expansion into new regions, we plan to expand into Akita and Toyama prefectures, two areas where we have yet to operate. We aim to expand into all 47 prefectures by 2026, and acquire new customers by establishing new school models through comprehensive partnership agreements with universities and vocational schools, as well as by considering M&A and alliances with other companies in the same industry that share our philosophy.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;② Addressing Reputational Risk and Thorough Safety Management

With the increase in the number of school members, schools under School Club Support contracts, and employees, the risk of accidents and scandals is increasing. Countermeasures against reputational damage (reputation risk) spread through social media and other channels are essential. Our top priority is safety and security. Although we have not had any serious accidents since our founding, we plan to continue to strengthen our accident prevention system and implement thorough safety management, and comply with the safety management manual and provide employee training. We are also strengthening our monitoring capabilities to raise compliance management awareness and establishing a rapid crisis system to prepare for any unforeseen circumstances, thereby maintaining trust in our brand.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;③ Promoting Human Capital Management and Strengthening Recruiting Competitiveness

Amid a worsening labor shortage across the service industry, securing high-quality instructors is vital to business growth. We are strengthening our recruitment branding by leveraging the publicity gained through our listing on the NASDAQ. In particular, in our rapidly expanding school club support business, we have established a system in which the business divisions closest to the field and the Human Resources Department work closely together. This collaboration between these two departments allows us to respond quickly to powerful locally recruiting needs while providing high-quality training, enabling us to secure club activity instructors (crew). At the same time, our headquarters will promote cross-sectional collaboration across all business divisions, share success stories, and mutually utilize resources to maximize synergy across the organization. Furthermore, we plan to strive to accelerate employee productivity by expanding our full-time employee training program and improving engagement through an appropriate personnel evaluation system. We plan to also promote operational efficiency using AI and other technologies, creating an environment where employees can focus on core tasks such as coaching and customer service, thereby increasing productivity across the entire group.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;④ Building a Foundation for Global Expansion and Strengthening Governance

In light of Japan's declining birthrate, we aim for growth in overseas markets in the medium to long term. We are accelerating preparations to expand our Leifras -style sports education model, centered on our strength in "non-cognitive skill development," to Asia, Europe, and the United States. At the same time, we aim to earn the trust of domestic and international investors by establishing a global-standard governance system required by a NASDAQ-listed company and striving to achieve highly transparent management and strengthen internal controls. As part of this effort, following our listing on the NASDAQ in October 2025, we established a new Risk and Compliance Committee in December of the same year. This will enable us to build a public company-standard governance system that comprehensively understands company-wide risks and enables agile decision-making in emergencies.

Please note that the statements regarding future forecasts, plans, goals, and other forward-looking statements contained in this business report are based on the information currently available to us. Therefore, actual performance and results may differ from these statements due to economic conditions, market trends, changes in the business environment, changes in various systems, and other factors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. Calculation of adjusted profit

To properly present the comparability of financial results and sustainable profitability for the fiscal year under review, we have adjusted "adjusted ordinary income" and "adjusted net income" as follows. Please note that as we began calculating these indicators from the 24th fiscal year, they have been omitted for the 22nd and 23rd fiscal years.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) Adjustments and Details of Adjustments

- Adjusted ordinary income

Calculated by adding to ordinary income the one-time expenses (commissions paid, etc.) associated with IPO preparations and the impact of the pro forma standard tax (taxes and public dues) incurred due to the increase in capital.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) Summary of Major Adjustments

- IPO-related expenses:

These are one-time expenses specific to the listing year, such as external consulting fees, audit fees, and transfer agency fees incurred in preparation for the IPO.

- Impact of the Business Size Standard Taxation

As a result of the capital increase following the IPO, our capital exceeded 100 million yen, and as a result, we became subject to the business size standard taxation from the current fiscal year, which resulted in an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses (taxes and public dues).

- Gain/Loss Related to Directors' Liability

This is a one-time gain resulting from compensation received from current directors and officers based on settlements and other factors for damages caused by the dereliction of duties by former directors and officers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(6)** **Other important matters concerning shares** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;① Listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market in the United States and issuance of publicly offered shares

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) In order to accelerate global business expansion and strengthen our financial base, we listed our shares on the NASDAQ Capital Market (ticker symbol: LFS) on October 9, 2025 (US Eastern Time). In conjunction with this, we issued the following new shares through a public offering on the NASDAQ Capital Market. Type and number of shares issued: 1,250,000 common shares (corresponding to 1,250,000 American Depositary Shares (ADSs). 1 ADS represents 1 common share of the Company)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) Issue price: US$4.00 per share (1 ADS)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) Payment date (closing date): October 10, 2025 (US Eastern Time)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) Purpose of capital increase and use of funds: The funds raised will be used for human resource investment to expand market share in sports school business and social business, securing sports facilities, and other working capital.

4. Changes in shareholder composition and their impact

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) Change in shareholder composition

During this consolidated fiscal year, we were listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market in the United States (October 2025) and made our shares publicly available in the form of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs). As a result, The Bank of New York Mellon, the depositary bank for our ADRs, became one of our major shareholders, holding 8.3% of our total issued shares. The Bank of New York Mellon is a nominal shareholder that manages and safeguards the underlying shares that back our ADRs circulating in the U.S. market, while the actual economic interests belong to U.S. institutional and individual investors who hold the ADRs. As a result, our shareholder structure has changed significantly from its previous focus on the founding family and domestic affiliates to one that now includes a wide range of overseas investors through the depositary bank, further globalizing our shareholder base.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) Impact of the changes

The listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market and the shareholder conversion of the depositary bank have had the following impact on our business operations.

● Multi-nationalization of capital and improved liquidity: Funding channels have been diversified, with funds now flowing in from the US capital market through the depositary bank. In addition, trading on NASDAQ, one of the world's largest markets, has dramatically increased the liquidity and name recognition of our stock.

● Addressing the increasing complexity of the proxy voting process: For shares held in the name of the depositary bank (8.3%), voting rights are exercised at the direction of the actual ADR holders in accordance with the deposit agreement. Therefore, in running the general shareholders' meeting, it is becoming increasingly important to engage with the depositary bank and the overseas actual shareholders behind it, and to promote the exercise of voting rights.

● Transition to global-standard governance: As the proportion of overseas investors increases, the level of demand for management transparency and accountability has increased. To address this, we will maintain an information disclosure system that complies with the standards of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and continue to promote the strengthening of corporate governance from a global perspective.

**3.** **Matters concerning stock acquisition rights, etc.**

(Note) Directors Ishikawa and Maita were newly elected and appointed as directors at the Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders held on March 28, 2025, and therefore the number of meetings attended by them during this fiscal year is different from that of other directors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;② Overview of the Liability Limitation Agreement

Pursuant to the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation, the Company has entered into agreements with all Outside Directors that limit the liability for damages set forth in Article 423, Paragraph 1 of the Companies Act, in accordance with the provisions of Article 427, Paragraph 1 of the same Act. The limit of liability for damages under these agreements is expected to be the minimum liability amount stipulated by law, provided that the Outside Directors acted in good faith and without gross negligence in performing their duties.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(3)** **Outside Audit and Supervisory Committee Members** 

The Company has appointed three outside Audit and Supervisory Committee members. They have no vested interests in the Company, meet the conditions for independent officers set by the stock exchange, and are therefore unlikely to pose a conflict of interest with general shareholders. The Company has determined that they are sufficient to perform the function of monitoring the Directors and management.

Furthermore, pursuant to Article 427, Paragraph 1 of the Companies Act, the Company has entered into agreements with its Outside Audit and Supervisory Committee members that limit their liability for damages under Article 423, Paragraph 1 of the Companies Act. The limit on liability for damages under such agreements is set at the amount stipulated by law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(4)** **Cooperation between the supervision or audit by the Outside Audit and Supervisory Committee Members and internal audits, audits by the Audit and Supervisory Committee and accounting audits, and the relationship with the internal control department** 

Upon request, the Internal Audit Department, Internal Control Department, etc. will provide necessary information and materials to the Outside Audit and Supervisory Committee members and will assist them in their work if necessary.

In order to promote mutual cooperation, the Audit and Supervisory Committee and the Internal Audit Department have established a forum for regular information exchange, where they confirm and adjust the Audit and Supervisory Committee's audit policy and plans, as well as the Internal Audit Department's audit policy, plans, and audit results. In addition, the Audit and Supervisory Committee, the Internal Audit Office, which is the internal audit department, and Innovation, the accounting auditor, regularly exchange opinions to ensure the legality of our operations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(5)** **Whether or not a full-time auditor has been selected and the reason for this** 

The Company has not appointed any full-time Audit and Supervisory Committee members. This is because the Company has adopted a system in which all Audit and Supervisory Committee members exercise their voting rights at Board of Directors meetings to fulfill their audit and supervisory functions, and has determined that the Audit and Supervisory Committee is able to adequately perform its audit and supervisory functions through cooperation with the Internal Audit Department and other departments.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(6)** **Status of Audit and Supervisory Committee Audits** 

The Audit and Supervisory Committee of our company conduct audits based on audit plans, and also attends meetings of the Board of Directors and the Management Committee to monitor the legality of the Board's business execution and company management. In addition, the Audit and Supervisory Committee, which is equivalent to the Audit Committee required of companies listed on the NASDAQ in the United States, regularly exchanges opinions with the Audit and Supervisory Committee and strives to ensure the legality of business execution.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(7)** **Status of internal audits** 

Our company has established an Internal Audit Office directly under the Representative Director to conduct internal audits. Internal audits are conducted annually at the headquarters, branches, and consolidated subsidiaries, in principle, from the perspectives of operational efficiency, various regulations, checks and balances based on administrative authority, and an emphasis on compliance. The internal audit plan and results are reported to the Representative Director every month, and audit results and improvements are communicated to the audited departments. In order to increase the effectiveness of audits, the audited departments are required to submit reports to the Internal Audit Office on the status of improvements made to the improvements made to the improvements made. The results are also shared with the Audit and Supervisory Committee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(8)** **Total amount of remuneration for directors** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;① Policies concerning the determination of executive remuneration, etc.

At the Board of Directors meeting held on April 15, 2021, the Company resolved the policy for determining the details of individual directors' remuneration, etc.

In addition, the Board of Directors has confirmed that the method for determining the remuneration of individual Directors for the current fiscal year and the content of the remuneration decided upon are consistent with the decision-making policy, and has determined that the remuneration is in line with the decision-making policy.

The policy for determining the remuneration of individual Directors is as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Basic Policy

The remuneration for the Company's directors, both executive directors and outside directors, shall consist solely of fixed remuneration.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) Policy concerning the determination of the amount of fixed remuneration (monetary remuneration) for each individual (including the policy regarding the determination of the timing or conditions for the provision of remuneration).

The remuneration of the Company's Directors shall be a monthly fixed remuneration that shall be determined based on a comprehensive consideration of position, responsibilities, years of service, and the levels of other companies as well as the Company's performance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) Matters concerning the determination of the details of individual director remuneration, etc.

With regard to the individual compensation amounts for Directors, the decision on the Representative Director's compensation amount is delegated to the Compensation Committee based on a resolution of the Board of Directors, and the Board of Directors decides the compensation amounts for other Directors based on the Committee's recommendations. The Compensation Committee's authority is to determine the Representative Director's basic compensation amount (as well as the calculation and evaluation of performance-linked compensation, etc.) and to report to the Board of Directors regarding the compensation amounts for other Directors. This procedure was adopted to enhance the objectivity, transparency, and fairness of the decision-making process and strengthen corporate governance by having the committee, the majority of whose members are independent Outside Directors, deliberate, decide, or recommend amounts. For the fiscal year under review, the Compensation Committee, chaired by an Outside Director and consisting of members, comprehensively considers the Company's performance, economic conditions, and each Director's responsibilities and contributions, and after rigorous deliberation, determines the Representative Director's compensation amount and recommends the compensation amounts for other Directors. The Board of Directors has confirmed that the decision-making process and the content of the compensation amounts decided upon are consistent with the decision-making policy and has determined that they are in line with the decision-making policy.

**6.** **Matters concerning the establishment of systems to ensure the appropriateness of business operations** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(1)** **System to ensure the appropriateness of business operations** 

The following is an overview of the matters resolved by the Board of Directors as part of the "System for ensuring the proper conduct of business at the Company and its subsidiaries (internal control system)."

1) System to ensure that the execution of duties by directors and employees complies with laws and regulations and the Articles of Incorporation

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) In order to ensure that the performance of duties by officers and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries (hereinafter collectively referred to as the Group) complies with laws and regulations and the Articles of Incorporation, the Company has established a corporate philosophy of "Change and Design Sports" and a code of conduct of "Four-way win: Good for myself, good for others, good for the company, and good for society." Directors themselves will abide by these principles, and the Representative Director will repeatedly communicate this spirit to employees.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) The Group will establish various internal regulations necessary for directors and employees to comply with laws and regulations and the Articles of Incorporation in the course of their work, and will conduct internal training to ensure that all employees are aware of these regulations and work is carried out in accordance with them.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) The Group considers compliance to be a top priority as a prerequisite for business development, and has established the Risk and Compliance Regulations, which set out the basic principles of compliance. By implementing these regulations company-wide, the Group requires all officers and employees to comply with laws and regulations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) In the event that a director or employee of the Group discovers any conduct within the Company that violates laws, regulations, the Articles of Incorporation, or other internal rules, the Group will establish a system that allows for early identification and response by directly reporting to the Risk Management Headquarters, which serves as an internal reporting point, or to the corporate lawyer, which serves as an external reporting point. The system will ensure the anonymity of the whistleblower and protect the whistleblower from any disadvantages that may arise from making such a report.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) The internal audit personnel appointed by the Representative Director shall audit each division of the Company to confirm compliance with laws and regulations and the Articles of Incorporation, and report the results of the internal audit to the Representative Director, the Board of Directors, and the Audit and Supervisory Committee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi) In order to ensure the accuracy of financial reporting, we plan to establish rules for accounting and business operations, as well as establish and operate internal controls related to the accuracy of financial reporting. We plan to also evaluate the status of these controls every fiscal year, check for any deficiencies, and make any necessary improvements.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vii) The Group will not have any relationship with anti-social forces and will resolutely resist any unreasonable demands. All directors and employees will act to eliminate anti-social forces in accordance with the "Regulations for Dealing with Anti-Social Forces" established by the Company.

2) System for storing and managing information related to the execution of duties by directors

Minutes of the Board of Directors meetings, records of decisions made by Directors in the performance of their duties (including electronic records), and other important information will be properly preserved in accordance with laws and regulations and the Document Management Regulations.

3) Rules and other systems for managing the risk of loss

We have established "Risk Compliance Regulations" to identify and respond to the risk of loss surrounding our business, and will consider how to respond to any actual or potential risks.

Each department strives to understand the risks that affect it on a daily basis, and shares this risk information within the company through reports from department managers at monthly reporting meetings, and takes necessary measures. For important risks, countermeasures are discussed at the Board of Directors meeting, and timely, effective countermeasures and recurrence prevention measures are implemented. In addition, we have established a "Risk and Compliance Committee" as an organization to professionally deliberate and decide on important matters related to risk management, and we practice cross-company risk management.

4) Systems to ensure that directors execute their duties efficiently

The Board of Directors plan to hold monthly meetings and extraordinary meetings when necessary to make prompt decisions on important matters relating to business operations.

We plan to appropriately grant authority regarding business decision-making to each position based on the "Administrative Authority Regulations" to ensure efficient business execution.

We plan to hold monthly reporting meetings attended by directors and department managers to report on the status of business execution in each department and to concentrate the information necessary for directors to execute their duties. In addition, we plan to create a means to share daily business reports within the company.

5) System to ensure the appropriateness of business operations within the corporate group consisting of the Company and its subsidiaries

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) System for reporting to the Company on matters related to the execution of duties by directors, etc. of subsidiaries

In order to promote the comprehensive and healthy development of the Group and ensure the appropriateness of business operations, the Company has established regulations governing the management of affiliated companies and regulations governing administrative authority, and all important matters relating to the business operations of subsidiaries require the approval of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) Rules and other systems for managing the risk of losses at subsidiaries

The Group manages the business operations of its subsidiaries and ensures the appropriateness of their operations in accordance with the Affiliated Company Management Regulations. In addition, the Group centrally manages the various risks it faces and strengthens its risk management system in accordance with the Code of Conduct and the Risk and Compliance Regulations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) Systems to ensure that the duties of directors, etc. of subsidiaries are executed efficiently

In order to have a common understanding of the management issues facing the Group and manage the business in a way that maximizes the Group's corporate value, we have adopted a system in which one or more of our directors will serve as directors of our subsidiaries.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) Systems to ensure that the execution of duties by directors, etc. and employees of subsidiaries complies with laws and regulations and the Articles of Incorporation

Through the "Code of Conduct," "Risk Compliance Regulations," and "Affiliate Management Regulations," the Company provides guidance and support to its subsidiaries in establishing systems to ensure compliance with laws and other business operations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) Other systems to ensure the appropriateness of business operations within the corporate group consisting of the Company and its subsidiaries

In order to prevent inappropriate transactions and accounting practices in parent-subsidiary transactions, the Audit and Supervisory Committee, accounting auditors, and internal audit departments will work together to establish an audit system and ensure the appropriateness of business operations within the corporate group.

6) Matters concerning employees who will assist the Audit and Supervisory Committee members in their duties, matters concerning the independence of such employees from the Directors, and matters concerning ensuring the effectiveness of instructions to the Audit and Supervisory Committee members

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Assistants to the Audit and Supervisory Committee members shall be independent from Directors with respect to such assistance work, and the consent of the Audit and Supervisory Committee members shall be required as necessary when conducting personnel evaluations, transfers, or disciplinary actions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) When instructions regarding support duties are given by the Audit and Supervisory Committee Members, the assistants shall not receive instructions regarding such duties from Directors or other employees, and shall follow only instructions from the Audit and Supervisory Committee Members and the Audit and Supervisory Committee.

7) A system for directors and employees to report to the Audit and Supervisory Committee and a system to ensure that those who make reports are not treated unfavorably because of said reports

Directors and employees shall report on the status of their duties and other matters as requested by the Audit and Supervisory Committee from time to time. In addition, if a director discovers any facts that may cause significant damage to the company or any serious facts that violate laws, regulations, or the Articles of Incorporation, he/she shall promptly report them to the Audit and Supervisory Committee. Those who make such reports shall not be treated disadvantageously in any way as a result of having reported to the Audit and Supervisory Committee.

8) Systems to ensure that audits by the Audit and Supervisory Committee are carried out effectively

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) The Audit and Supervisory Committee members shall attend all meetings of the Board of Directors, express necessary opinions on the agenda, receive reports on the performance of duties by Directors, and ask questions as appropriate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) In addition to confirming the operational status of each division of the Company through daily divisional audits, the Audit Committee shall receive reports from internal auditors and reports on accounting audits from the auditing firm, and exchange necessary opinions as appropriate to ensure the effectiveness of audits.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) Each Audit and Supervisory Committee Member shall hold regular monthly meetings and other meetings as necessary to decide on matters to be resolved, as well as to report on the status of their respective audits, and to consider whether there are any problems and key audit items, thereby improving the effectiveness and efficiency of audits.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) When the Audit and Supervisory Committee or its members request the Company to pay in advance or settle any expenses or debts necessary for the performance of their duties, the Company will process such requests promptly.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(2)** **Overview of the operational status of the system to ensure the appropriateness of business operations** 

The status of operation of the system to ensure the appropriateness of business operations during the fiscal year under review is outlined below.

Based on the "Basic Policy for Establishing an Internal Control System," we are working to establish and appropriately operate a system to ensure the proper conduct of business as a corporate group.

● In accordance with the whistle-blowing regulations, we have set up whistle-blowing hotlines both inside and outside the company to receive consultations from employees.

● The Board of Directors meets once a month to decide on basic management policies, and the Management Committee meets once a month to discuss individual matters related to business execution. At these meetings, the efficiency and appropriateness of business operations, as well as compliance with laws and regulations, are also discussed.

● In order to ensure that the duties of directors and other officers of subsidiaries are executed efficiently, we have established a system in which one or more of our directors will serve as officers of subsidiaries, and management will be carried out with the aim of maximizing the corporate value of the group.

● In conjunction with the establishment of the Audit and Supervisory Committee, we entered into an accounting auditor contract with an auditing firm in December 2022.

**Notes to Financial Statements**

From January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025

Ⅰ Notes on Matters Related to Significant Accounting Policies

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. (1) Valuation standards and methods for securities

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;① Securities valuation standards and methods

Subsidiary shares: Stated at cost using the moving average method

Other securities

Items other than stocks with no market price

… Market value method based on market price etc. at the end of the fiscal year

(All valuation differences are treated using the direct inclusion method in net assets, and the cost of sale is calculated using the moving average method.)

Stocks with no market price

… Cost method based on the moving average method

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;② Inventory valuation standards and methods

First-in, first-out method (balance sheet value calculated by book value write-down method based on decline in profitability)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) Depreciation method for fixed assets

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;① Tangible fixed assets (excluding leased assets)

The declining balance method is used. However, the straight-line method is used for buildings (excluding attached facilities) acquired on or after April 1, 2007, and for buildings, attached facilities, and structures acquired on or after April 1, 2016.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;② Intangible fixed assets (excluding lease assets)

The fixed amount method is used.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;③ Leased assets

For leased assets relating to finance lease transactions that do not transfer ownership, the straight-line method is used over the lease period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) Provisions

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;① Allowance for doubtful accounts

To provide for losses due to bad debts, we record an estimated unrecoverable amount for general receivables based on the historical bad debt rate, and for receivables with a high probability of default, we take into account the recoverability of each receivable individually.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;② Accrued bonuses

To provide for the payment of bonuses to employees, the Company records the estimated amount to be paid for the current fiscal year.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) Standards for recording revenues and expenses

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;① School business

The sports schools operated by our company have a performance obligation to provide sports instruction to members. We recognize revenue for monthly membership fees, determining that the performance obligation is satisfied each month. The consideration for the transaction is generally received in the month in which the performance obligation is satisfied, or approximately within one month from the time the performance obligation is satisfied. The main performance obligation for event revenue is to hold events related to the sports schools (training camps, tournaments, etc.) and provide supervision and instruction. The consideration for the transaction is generally received before the date on which the performance obligation is satisfied.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;② Social business

In the social business, the provision of sports instruction for club activities and physical education classes is a performance obligation based on consignment contracts received mainly from local governments. It is determined that this is a performance obligation that will be fulfilled over a certain period based on the contract period and designated contract period, and the progress regarding the fulfillment of the performance obligation is estimated and the performance obligation is fulfilled based on that progress. However, the calculation period is mainly set as one month, and revenue is recognized on a monthly basis. The consideration for the transaction is received based on the payment conditions stipulated in the contract.

II Correction of Errors

As it was discovered that the Company had overstated revenue in previous fiscal years, the Company has adjusted the cumulative impact of this error in the opening retained earnings for the current fiscal year in accordance with Article 96, Paragraph 7, Item 1 of the Corporate Accounting Regulations.

The Company has determined that the error is not significant enough under the Companies Act to require the revision of financial statements for prior fiscal years that have already been finalized, and therefore has not revised the financial statements for prior fiscal years.

The adjustment to retained earnings at the beginning of the current fiscal year is 39,205 thousand yen.

III Accounting estimates

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) Recoverability of deferred tax assets

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;① Amounts recorded in the financial statements for the current fiscal year 54,217,000 yen

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;② Information about significant accounting estimates related to recognized items

We assess the recoverability of deferred tax assets based on taxable income before adjustments for temporary differences, etc., which are based on future profitability, for future deductible temporary differences at the end of the fiscal year. In addition, estimates of taxable income are based primarily on future profit plans, including business plans for the following fiscal year.

The business plan that forms the basis of the estimate of taxable income is formulated based on certain assumptions that take into account the external environment and internal information, and may be affected by future uncertain economic conditions and the Company's business conditions. As a result, if actual taxable income fluctuates, this may have a significant impact on the valuation of deferred tax assets.

Ⅳ Notes on the Balance Sheet, etc.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) Guaranteed obligations

Not applicable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) Monetary claims and obligations to affiliated companies

Not applicable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) Commitment line agreement

The Company has entered into a commitment line agreement with Chikuho Bank, Ltd. and SBI Shinsei Bank, Ltd. with a maximum amount of 1 billion yen as of October 31, 2025. As of the end of the fiscal year under review, there is no outstanding borrowing amount under this agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) Syndicated Loan Agreement

On November 19, 2025, the Company entered into a syndicated term loan agreement totaling 1.5 billion yen with four banks, with Mizuho Bank, Ltd. as the arranger.

The agreement contains financial covenants, which are as follows:

1) From the fiscal year ending December 2025 onwards, the amount of net assets on the non-consolidated balance sheet at the end of each fiscal year will be maintained at 80% or more of the amount of net assets on the non-consolidated balance sheet at the end of the fiscal year ending December 2024.

2) Maintain a positive operating profit as shown in the non-consolidated income statement for each fiscal year from the fiscal year ending December 2025 onwards.

3) Maintain a positive ordinary profit as shown in the non-consolidated income statement for each fiscal year from the fiscal year ending December 2025 onwards.

If this is violated, we may be required to repay the loan in full at the request of the lender.

As of the end of the fiscal period, there is no outstanding borrowing amount under this agreement.

---

During the fiscal year under review, in connection with the listing on the Nasdaq market in the United States, the Company allocated stock acquisition rights to Kingswood Capital Partners, LLC as part of the listing fees.

VII Tax-effect accounting

The main reasons for the occurrence of deferred tax assets are the provision for bonuses, excess depreciation, and the disallowance of the allowance for doubtful accounts.

Following the passage of the "Act to Partially Amend the Income Tax Act, etc." (Act No. 18 of 2025) by the Diet on March 31, 2025, a "Special Defense Corporation Tax" will be levied from fiscal years beginning on or after April 1, 2026.

Accordingly, the effective statutory tax rate has been changed from 30.62% to 31.52% for the calculation of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities related to temporary differences expected to be resolved after the fiscal year beginning on or after January 1, 2027. The impact of this tax rate change is immaterial.

VIII Financial Instruments

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) Status of financial products

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;① Policy for financial products

In light of working capital, we are procuring the necessary funds (mainly bank loans).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;② Details of financial products, their risks, and risk management system

Accounts receivable, which are operating receivables, are exposed to the credit risk of customer members. With regard to this risk, we regularly monitor the status of customer members, manage the balance for each customer member, and aim to identify any concerns about collection at an early stage. In the event of non-collection, we will take appropriate measures.

Investment securities are mainly shares in companies with which the Company has business relationships, and are exposed to the risk of fluctuations in market prices. Most trade payables have payment due dates within two months.

Short-term borrowings, long-term borrowings and corporate bonds are exposed to liquidity risk, but this risk is managed by creating and regularly updating funding plans.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) Fair value of financial instruments

The carrying amount on the balance sheet, fair value, and the difference between them as of the end of the current fiscal year are as follows. Notes on "Cash and deposits," "Accounts receivable," "Other receivables," "Accounts payable," "Short-term borrowings," and "Other payables" are omitted because they are settled in a short period and their fair values approximate their carrying amounts.

Our responsibilities under these standards are described in "Auditor's Responsibilities in the Audit of Financial Statements, etc." We are independent from the Company in accordance with the rules of professional ethics in Japan and have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities as an auditor. We believe that we have obtained sufficient appropriate audit evidence on which to express our opinion.

Other information

Other information includes the business report and its supporting schedules. Management is responsible for preparing and disclosing these other information. The Audit and Supervisory Committee is responsible for developing and implementing the reporting process for these other information, and for monitoring the directors' performance of their duties.

Our audit opinion on the financial statements, etc. does not include any other information, and we do not express an opinion on any other information.

Our responsibility in auditing financial statements, etc. is to read through the other contents and, in the process of doing so, to consider whether there are any material differences between the other contents and the financial statements, etc. or the knowledge we have gained in the course of the audit, and to pay attention to whether there are any signs of material error in the other contents other than such material differences.

If, based on the work we have performed, we determine that there are material errors in the other statements, we are required to report that fact.

There are no other matters for us to report regarding the other information provided.

Responsibilities of management and the Audit and Supervisory Committee regarding financial statements, etc.

The responsibility of management is to prepare and fairly present financial statements in accordance with accounting standards generally accepted in Japan. This includes establishing and implementing internal controls that management deems necessary to prepare and fairly present financial statements that are free from material misstatements due to fraud or error.

When preparing financial statements, etc., management is responsible for assessing whether it is appropriate to prepare financial statements, etc. based on the going concern assumption, and for disclosing matters related to the going concern if it is necessary to do so in accordance with corporate accounting standards generally accepted in Japan.

The Audit and Supervisory Committee is responsible for overseeing the performance of the Directors' duties in the development and operation of the financial reporting process.

Responsibilities of auditors in auditing financial statements, etc.

The auditor's responsibility is to obtain reasonable assurance based on the audit conducted by the auditor that the financial statements, etc. taken as a whole are free from material misstatements due to fraud or error, and to express an opinion on the financial statements, etc. from an independent position in the audit report. Misstatements may arise from fraud or error, and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the decisions of users of the financial statements, etc.

Auditors shall, throughout the audit process, exercise their professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in Japan and shall:

● Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement due to fraud or error, and plan and perform audit procedures that address those risks. The selection and application of audit procedures is up to the auditor's judgment. Furthermore, obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence on which to express an opinion.

The purpose of an audit of financial statements, etc. is not to express an opinion on the effectiveness of internal controls, but when conducting risk assessments, auditors will consider internal controls relevant to the audit in order to plan appropriate audit procedures according to the circumstances.

- Evaluate the appropriateness of the accounting policies adopted by management and their application, as well as the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management and the appropriateness of related disclosures.

● Conclude whether it is appropriate for management to prepare financial statements, etc. based on the going concern assumption, and whether there are any material uncertainties regarding events or circumstances that may cast significant doubt on the going concern assumption, based on the audit evidence obtained. If there are any material uncertainties regarding the going concern assumption, the auditor is required to draw attention to the notes to the financial statements, etc. in the audit report, or to express a modified opinion on the financial statements, etc. if the notes to the financial statements, etc. regarding material uncertainties are inappropriate. The auditor's conclusion is based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of the audit report, but future events or circumstances may mean that the company will no longer be able to continue as a going concern.

Evaluate whether the presentation and notes of financial statements, etc. comply with corporate accounting standards generally accepted in Japan, as well as the presentation, structure and content of financial statements, etc., including related notes, and whether the financial statements, etc. fairly present the underlying transactions and accounting events.

The auditor shall report to the Audit and Supervisory Committee on the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, including significant deficiencies in internal control identified during the audit, and other matters required by the audit standards.

Conflict of Interest

There are no conflicts of interest between the Company and our audit firm or its executive officers that must be disclosed pursuant to the provisions of the Certified Public Accountants Act.

**Proposal No. 2 Election of 12 Directors (excluding Directors who are Audit and Supervisory Committee Members)**

The terms of office of all 10 Directors (excluding Directors who are Audit and Supervisory Committee Members) will expire at the conclusion of this General Meeting of Shareholders. Therefore, we would like to request the election of 12 directors (excluding directors who are Audit and Supervisory Committee members). The contents of this proposal were discussed by the Nomination Committee, an advisory body to the Board of Directors, all of whose members, including the chairperson, are Outside Directors, and after receiving a recommendation in favor, were passed by the Board of Directors. The purpose of these director appointments is to further strengthen our management structure and corporate governance, as well as to strengthen our system for implementing our medium- to long-term growth strategies. In line with this, we will review our structure, including increasing the number of directors, to further enhance our management supervision and business execution functions. The new director candidates are expected to utilize their specialized knowledge and extensive experience to contribute to the sustainable growth and improvement of the Company's corporate value. This proposal will come into effect on the condition that the change in the number of directors (excluding directors who are audit and supervisory committee members) in Proposal 1, "Partial Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation," is approved as originally proposed and the amendment to the Articles of Incorporation comes into effect.

Furthermore, there are no special interests between the candidates and the Company.

2. The reasons for the selection of the candidates for Director and the roles expected of them are as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) As the founder of the Company, Mr. Kiyotaka Ito has demonstrated strong leadership as Representative Director and driven the Company's overall management since its establishment in 2001. He has made significant contributions to the business expansion and improvement of the Group's overall c.orporate value, and we believe that his management skills are indispensable for realizing the Company's sustainable growth and medium- to long-term development. Therefore, we propose that he be re-elected as Representative Director.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) Since joining the company, Mr. Kon Takamichi has served as Director of the Public Relations Office and Branch Manager, contributing to business expansion on the front lines. He has also served as General Manager of the Social Action Division and Representative Director of a subsidiary, and has extensive experience and a proven track record in management and business operations. He is currently leading the company's main business as General Manager of the School Business Division, and we hope that he will utilize his track record and knowledge to further grow the company, so we propose that he be elected as a Director.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) Since joining the Company, Hitoshi Kawabata has held key positions in the business divisions and has contributed to establishing the Company's audit system as a full-time Audit & Supervisory Board Member. He has deep understanding and experience in both business execution and auditing, and currently supports the sound business operations of the Company as General Manager of the Risk Management Headquarters. We believe that his deep insight into governance and risk management is essential to strengthening the Company's management system, and therefore propose his election as Director.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) Mr. Mitsuharu Yazawa has held key positions at financial institutions for many years and has advanced expertise and abundant experience in finance, accounting, and financial operations. Since 2023, he has been in charge of supervisory functions as an Outside Director (Audit and Supervisory Committee Member) of the Company, and is currently in charge of financial strategy and administrative departments as Director, CFO, and Head of Corporate Headquarters. We expect that he will utilize his expertise to contribute to strengthening the Company's financial base and enhancing its business management system, and therefore propose his election as Director.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5) Since joining the company, Kazuma Inoue has promoted community-based business development as the general manager of the Kyushu area, and has accumulated extensive business experience and achievements as a branch manager and senior managing executive officer. He is currently leading the expansion of social issue-solving businesses as the general manager of the Social Business Division. We expect that he will utilize his on-site leadership skills and business promotion capabilities to further develop the Company, and therefore propose his election as a Director.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(6) Mr. Mitsunobu Kawaharada has extensive experience in financial institutions and has deep knowledge, particularly in the areas of business management, sales management, and financial risk management. We expect that he will contribute to strengthening the Company's financial base and improving corporate governance, and therefore we propose his election as an Outside Director.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(7) Mr. Hisashi Ohno has extensive management experience in the travel and airline industries, as well as having served as a director and auditor at several companies and possessing broad knowledge in the fields of business management and auditing, we expect him to contribute to strengthening our corporate governance and achieving sustainable growth. Therefore, we propose his election as an Outside Director.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(8) Ms. Kazuko Ito has demonstrated leadership in the fields of corporate management and non-profit activities for many years and has extensive knowledge of business strategy planning and social contribution activities. We expect her to contribute to strengthening the Company's governance and increasing its social value, and therefore propose her election as an Outside Director.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(9) We expect that Mr. Ryo Ishikawa will utilize his extensive experience and knowledge in the sports industry to contribute to enhancing the Company's brand value and promoting social contribution activities through sports. We therefore propose that he be elected as an Outside Director.

The reasons for the selection of the new directors and their expected roles are as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(10) Ms. Rei Yamamoto has been engaged in the fields of finance and corporate planning for many years at a foreign company and has extensive experience and a high level of expertise, primarily in FP&A (financial planning and analysis). She has particular knowledge of financial strategy planning, cost management, and the establishment of business management systems. We expect that she will utilize her experience and knowledge to contribute to strengthening the Company's financial base and enhancing its business management systems, and therefore propose her election as a Director.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(11) Since joining the Company, Mr. Tsuyoshi Nagatomi has served as Vice Principal of the School Business Department and President of the West Japan Headquarters, among other positions, and has extensive experience and a proven track record in promoting sports education and community collaboration projects. Furthermore, through his work in the Regional Collaboration Promotion Department and the Public Works Strategy Office, he has contributed to strengthening collaboration with government and local communities and expanding the Company's business base. We expect that he will utilize his experience and knowledge to further strengthen the Company's business operations and business base, and therefore propose his election as Director will lead the Company's further business expansion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(12) Tetsu Mizutani has been involved in corporate management and brand strategy at the Suntory Group for many years, and has served as Representative Director and President of a business company, bringing him ample management experience and deep insight. He also has experience in coordinating with a wide range of stakeholders, having served as Representative Director of an industry association and in the operation of an international exposition. We expect that he will utilize his track record and knowledge as a manager to provide advice and supervision on the Company's overall management from an independent and objective standpoint, and therefore propose his election as Outside Director.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. If the election of Mr. Mitsunobu Kawarada, Mr. Takashi Ohno, Ms. Kazuko Ito, Mr. Ryo Ishikawa, and Mr. Tor Mizutani is approved, the Company plans to enter into agreements with each of them to limit their liability for damages under Article 423, Paragraph 1 of the Companies Act, pursuant to Article 427, Paragraph 1 of the said Act. The limit on liability for damages under such agreements is expected to be the minimum amount stipulated by law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. The Company has concluded with insurance companies directors (including directors who are Audit and Supervisory Committee members) and the Company (including subsidiaries) liability insurance contracts as stipulated in Article 430-3, Paragraph 1 of the Companies Act, with the insureds being the Company's directors (including directors who are Audit and Supervisory Committee members) and the Company (including subsidiaries). These insurance contracts provide for compensation for damages (defense costs, compensation, etc.) that may arise from the insured assuming liability in connection with the performance of their duties or receiving a claim related to the pursuit of such liability. If the candidates assume office, they will be included as insureds under these insurance contracts. Furthermore, these insurance contracts are scheduled to be renewed with the same terms and conditions at the next renewal.

Information on <u>exercising voting rights</u> if you cannot attend the General Meeting of Shareholders

1. How to Exercise Voting Rights

You may exercise your voting rights at our General Meeting of Shareholders either by submitting a "Voting Rights Exercise Form" or by proxy by "Power of Attorney."

If you are unable to attend the General Meeting of Shareholders, we would appreciate it if you could use a "Voting Rights Exercise Form" whenever possible, in order to ensure accurate processing and prompt counting of votes.

2. Handling of Duplicate Documents

If you submit both a "Voting Rights Exercise Form" and a "Power of Attorney," we will handle them as follows:

The "Power of Attorney" will take priority and will be counted as the valid vote.

If multiple identical documents are received, the last one received will be treated as the valid vote.

3. Handling of Blank Responses and Incomplete Documents

Please note that if the documents you submit are incomplete, we will generally handle them as follows:

- Voting Rights Exercise Form with no approval or disapproval: This will be treated as an indication of "Agreement" for each proposal.

If the proxy section of the proxy form is blank: The chairperson of this General Meeting designated in advance by our company will be treated as having been appointed as your proxy.

If the proxy form is missing a signature or seal: It will be treated as invalid, so please fill it out completely.
