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.

Purpose of making a wholly-owned subsidiary through the Share Exchange
The Group mainly engages in the Energy Business, Maintenance Business, and Mobility Business at each of its business subsidiaries.
E Smart Energy is scheduled to take over the LP gas sales business from its parent company, Ecolog Co., Ltd., on June 29, 2026, and begin operating the business.
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.
