Notices Regarding Transition to the New Market Category "Prime Market"

We would like Notices that, as of April 4, 2022, our company has transitioned to the new "Prime Market" Category of the Tokyo Stock Exchange.

The "Prime Market" is positioned as a market for companies that have a market capitalization (liquidity) large enough to attract investment from many institutional investors, possess a higher level of governance, and are committed to sustainable growth and the enhancement of corporate value in the medium to long term, with a focus on constructive dialogue with investors.

We will continue to strengthen our Corporate Governance and strive for sustainable growth and further enhancement of our corporate value in the medium to long term, in order to meet the trust and expectations of our stakeholders.
