The primary driver of this strong performance is solid demand for IP prizes, centered on GiGO-exclusive items, against the backdrop of the “Oshi-Katsu” (fan activities) boom. Our initiative to roll out over 200 GiGO-exclusive prizes annually has also proven highly successful. Due to the operating leverage effect resulting from increased sales, our first-quarter margin improved year-over-year. Moving forward, we will continue to expand our lineup of highly popular GiGO-exclusive prizes and optimize our store layouts to meet customer expectations.

Only a select number of stores that meet specific criteria will be eligible for conversion into “Crane Game Oasis.” Currently, we are steadily rolling out conversions, starting with the most suitable locations. We view this initiative as a key option for PMI (Post Merger Integration) when capturing synergies from acquired amusement companies with suburban networks, as well as during standard renovations of our existing stores.

We have confirmed this additional acquisition through Midas Capital’s press release dated June 29, 2026.

The details of the purchase are as follows:

• Shares purchased    : 844,900 shares (0.45% of our total outstanding shares)
• Total purchase amount: 448,737,711 yen

We have maintained a strong relationship with Midas Capital since our founding in 2018, and we understand that they have a policy of holding shares over the ultra-long term.

We will continue to strive for the long-term enhancement of our enterprise value.
