Background and Purpose of the Reorganization Our company aims to become a “comprehensive entertainment production company” that takes on a wide range of challenges in all areas of entertainment, and is promoting business diversification. In order to achieve more efficient and agile management, we are reorganizing our business to maximize business connections and synergies. We will transfer all shares of some subsidiaries to Okazaki Holdings Co., Ltd. through a management buyout (MBO). However, we will continue to build a cooperative relationship with Okazaki Holdings and aim for further growth. Reorganization 1. – Reorganization of anime, music, and publishing businesses centered on AniTone Inc. – AniTone Inc., which specializes in anime, music, and publishing, will consolidate iTokyo Inc., B.B.Q Inc., and Bittersweet Entertainment Inc. under its umbrella, expanding the promotion structure for these businesses and further strengthening collaboration within the group. Organizational Restructuring 2. – Transfer of all shares of lucid Corporation, Inc., which operates the overseas VTuber business, to the management team – In light of the rapid changes in the US VTuber market, we have held repeated discussions with the management of lucid Corporation, Inc. As a result, we have determined that swift and flexible decision-making by local management is essential to business operations that maximize the individuality of creators. Therefore, we have decided to transfer all of our shares to the management. This will allow the company to aim for further growth under an independent structure. Reorganization 3. – Transfer of Subsidiary Shares through Management Buyout (MBO) – As part of this reorganization, we will transfer all shares in the following six companies to Okazaki Holdings Co., Ltd. through a management buyout (MBO).
