Notice Concerning Partial Amendments to the Articles of Incorporation

Nichirei Corporation (the "Company") hereby announces that its Board of Directors resolved at a meeting held today to submit a proposal for partial amendments to the Articles of Incorporation to the 108th Annual General Shareholders Meeting to be held on June 24, 2026. Details are as follows.

  1. Reason for the Change

    The Company's fiscal year currently runs from April 1 to March 31 of the following year. However, unifying the fiscal year-end of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries to December will enable the Company to strengthen its global management base and further enhance management transparency through timely and appropriate disclosure of management information. Therefore, the Company will change its fiscal year to run from January 1 to December 31 of each year.

    Accordingly, the Company will make the necessary amendments to Article 13 (Convocation and Venue), Article 14 (Record Date of the Annual General Shareholders Meeting), Article 42 (Fiscal Year), Article 43 (Dividends of Surplus, Etc.), and Article 44 (Interim Dividends) of the current Articles of Incorporation.

    As a result of the change in the fiscal year, the 109th fiscal period will be a nine-month period from April 1, 2026 to December 31, 2026. Therefore, supplementary provisions will be established as a transitional measure.

  2. Details of the Change

    The details of the amendment to the Articles of Incorporation are set forth in the attachment.

  3. Schedule (tentative)
