Additional Paid In Capital financial
"transfer the entire reduced amount to Additional Paid In Capital"
Additional paid-in capital is the amount investors paid for a company's shares that exceeds the stock's nominal legal value when the shares were issued; it represents extra cash the company received from selling equity beyond that small printed value. Investors care because it is a form of permanent capital on the balance sheet that can absorb losses or fund growth; think of it like paying extra for upgrades on a house that increases the owner's financial cushion and reported book value per share.
Accumulated Deficit financial
"offset the Accumulated Deficit against Additional Paid In Capital"
Accumulated deficit is the running total of a company’s past net losses minus any profits, showing how much the business has eaten into its own funds over time—think of it like a bank account that’s been overdrawn by repeated shortfalls. It matters to investors because a large accumulated deficit reduces the cushion that protects owners and creditors, can limit dividends or borrowing, and signals how much funding the company may need to reach profitability.
Audit and Supervisory Committee regulatory
"members of the Audit and Supervisory Committee"
An audit and supervisory committee is a board-level group that checks a company’s books, internal controls, and management decisions to help ensure financial reports are accurate and risks are controlled. Think of it as a combined watchdog and accounting review team that holds executives accountable and flags problems early, which matters to investors because it strengthens trust in financial statements and lowers the chance of surprise losses or fraud.

2. Proposals and Reference

 

Proposal 1: Transfer Amount of Share Capital and Legal Capital Surplus to Additional Paid In Capital

 

Reason for the reductions in the amount of Share Capital and Legal Capital Surplus is to offset the Accumulated Deficit against Additional Paid In Capital and attain better presentation of Japanese accounting books.

 

In order to offset Accumulated Deficit against Additional Paid in Capital, the Company first needs to reduce the amount of Share Capital and Legal Capital Surplus and transfer the entire reduced amount to Additional Paid In Capital. This accounting practice is in compliance with the provisions of Article 447, paragraph (1) and Article 448, paragraph (1) of the Japanese Companies Act.

 

The reductions in the amount of Share Capital and Legal Capital Surplus and transfer the reduced amounts to Additional Paid In Capital are accounting reclassifications within the Shareholder’s Equity section of the balance sheet, and do not change the total Shareholder’s Equity of the Company.

 

Details of the reductions in the amount of share capital and legal capital surplus;

 

(1) Reduction in amount of Share Capital: ¥2,094,188,290

(2) Reduction in amount of Legal Capital Surplus: ¥2,094,188,288

(3) Effective date of the reductions of Share Capital and Legal Capital Surplus: September 30, 2026

 

Proposal 2: Offsetting Certain Amount of Accumulated Deficit against Additional Paid In Capital

 

In accordance with the provisions of Article 452 of the Japanese Companies Act, we propose to offset the Accumulated Deficit against Additional Paid In Capital and attain better presentation of Japanese accounting books. The offsetting Accumulated Deficit against Additional Paid In Capital is accounting reclassifications within the Shareholder’s Equity section of the balance sheet and does not change the total Shareholder’s Equity of the Company.

 

Details of Offset:

 

(1) Decrease in amount of Additional Paid In Capital: ¥1,970,992,725

(2) Increase in amount of Legal Capital Surplus: ¥1,970,992,725
