Notice Regarding the Making of E Smart Energy Co., Ltd. a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary Through a Simplified Share Exchange

Sinanen Holdings Co., Ltd. (the "Company") has resolved at the meeting of the Board of Directors held today to conduct a share exchange (below, the "Share Exchange") under which the Company will be the wholly-owning parent company through share exchange and E Smart Energy Co., Ltd. (below, "E Smart Energy"), will be the wholly-owned subsidiary through share exchange, and has entered into a share exchange agreement (below, the "Share Exchange Agreement") with E Smart Energy on the same date; accordingly, we hereby announce as follows.

In addition, with respect to the Share Exchange, the Company plans to carry it out without obtaining approval by resolution of the general meeting of shareholders by means of the procedures for a simplified share exchange pursuant to the provisions of Article 796, paragraph (2) of the Companies Act. In addition, because the Share Exchange is one in which the amount of net assets of E Smart Energy, which will become the wholly-owned subsidiary through share exchange, as of the end of its immediately preceding fiscal year is less than 10% of the amount of net assets of the Company, which will become the wholly-owning parent company through share exchange, as of the end of its immediately preceding fiscal year, and the net sales of E Smart Energy for its immediately preceding fiscal year are less than 3% of the net sales of the Company for its immediately preceding fiscal year, the disclosed matters and contents are partially omitted.

    By making E Smart Energy a wholly-owned subsidiary and thereby deepening collaboration with the Energy Business of the Company's subsidiaries, the Company expects to strengthen its sales capabilities and has determined that the Share Exchange will contribute to the enhancement of corporate value for both companies. Accordingly, at the meeting of the Board of Directors held today,

    the Company resolved to implement this Share Exchange for the purpose of making E Smart Energy a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and entered into the Share Exchange Agreement with E Smart Energy.
