Notice regarding dissolution of subsidiary (Metsä Series 2 Investment Limited Liability Partnership)Tokyo, March 26, 2026-A resolution was passed at a meeting of the Board of Directors today to approve action by FinTech Global Incorporated (hereafter, "FGI" and "the Company"), as the sole limited partner in consolidated subsidiary Metsä Series 2 Investment Limited Liability Partnership (hereafter, "Metsä Series 2"), to dissolve Metsä Series 2. The Company hereby announces that Metsä Series 2 was dissolved today.
Particulars-
Reason for dissolution
Metsä Series 2 was an investment limited partnership established for the purpose of corporate investment, and FGI utilized Metsä Series 2 as another way to invest in Moomin Monogatari, Ltd. (hereafter, "Moomin Monogatari").
As described in "Notice regarding changes in subsidiaries (transfer of shares) and booking of extraordinary income and extraordinary loss," released separately today, it was decided that all Moomin Monogatari shares held by Metsä Series 2 would be transferred to Moomin Monogatari free of charge through share buyback by Moomin Monogatari. As of today, March 26, 2026, the transfer agreement has been signed, and the transfer of shares has been completed.
Consequently, since Metsä Series 2 would cease its investment in Moomin Monogatari stock, the FGI Board of Directors passed a resolution to approve action by FGI to dissolve Metsä Series 2, as proposed by the general partner of Metsä Series 2, and the decision was made to dissolve Metsä Series 2.
