Notification of the Execution of an Agreement Regarding Company Split and Change of Consolidated Subsidiary (Share Transfer)

In the July 18, 2025 press release titled "Notification of Conclusion of Basic Agreement Regarding Company Split and Change of Consolidated Subsidiary (Share Transfer)," Credit Saison Co., Ltd. (hereinafter "Credit Saison") disclosed that we had concluded a basic agreement regarding a transaction with Mr. Takamitsu Eguchi (hereinafter "Mr. Eguchi"), the Representative Director of Concerto Inc. (hereinafter "Concerto"), a consolidated subsidiary of Credit Saison. In this transaction, businesses other than the amusement business (hereinafter the "Continuing Business") operated by Concerto, will be transferred to a newly established wholly-owned subsidiary of Credit Saison (hereinafter the "New Company") through a company split (hereinafter the "Absorption Split"), and, subsequently, all shares of Concerto held by Credit Saison will be transferred to Mr. Eguchi (hereinafter the "Share Transfer") (The Share Transfer and the Absorption Split are together referred to as the "Transaction").

Credit Saison hereby announces as follows that, at a meeting of the Board of Directors held today, we resolved to carry out the Transaction and, as of today, executed a share transfer agreement with Mr. Eguchi (the "Share Transfer Agreement").

  1. Regarding the Absorption Split
    1. Purpose of the Transaction

      Credit Saison aims to become a GLOBAL NEO FINANCE COMPANY, a global comprehensive life services group with finance at the core. As part of group restructuring, the Absorption Split will transfer the Continuing Business from Concerto to the New Company, and, subsequently, all shares of Concerto, which will operate the amusement business after the split, will be transferred to Mr. Eguchi through the Share Transfer.

        Note: For the New Company, the Absorption Split qualifies as a simplified absorption-type split as defined in Article 796, Paragraph 2 of the Companies Act. As such, it is planned that the Absorption Split will be carried out without the need for approval of the absorption-type split agreement at a general meeting of shareholders.

        This is an absorption-type split with Concerto as the splitting company and the New Company as the successor company.

      3. Details of Allotments relating to the Absorption Split

        As this transition will be conducted between wholly owned subsidiaries of Credit Saison, it will be a split without consideration, and the New Company, which is the successor company, will not allocate shares or provide cash or other assets.

      4. Treatment of Share Acquisition Rights and Bonds with Share Acquisition Rights in Connection with the Absorption Split

        Not applicable.
