Introduction of the In-House Project System

In an effort to strengthen its mid-term growth strategy, known as "TRIiS2.0," our company has committed to transitioning into a 'Smart Company.' This strategy, announced on April 15, 2026, focuses on maintaining a centennial enterprise through M&A and utilizing cutting-edge technology to improve value. The cornerstone of this strategy consists of two main pillars: enhancing investment decisions through "Smart Investment" and systemizing value creation post-investment via "Smart Company."

To facilitate the realization of the "Smart Company" concept, we are excited to announce the introduction of an in-house project system and a project-based incentive compensation plan. These initiatives aim to leverage AI and other tools to automate and streamline operations, allowing employees to focus on high-value tasks that contribute to profit generation. The decision to implement this system was approved during the board meeting held on June 15, 2026.

Purpose of the Initiative

The main objective of this initiative is to bolster the company-wide value creation capacity by establishing a new information technology strategy division that will operate under the leadership of our CTO. By promoting AI utilization, we aim to automate or semi-automate non-value-adding jobs while repositioning and retraining employees to focus on high-value tasks.

The in-house project system is designed to enhance the execution of these high-value tasks, allowing us to reward employees who contribute to significant outcomes within key initiatives. This system is intended not only to increase employee motivation and engagement but to also substantiate the effectiveness of each initiative, ultimately driving long-term profit growth.

Overview of the In-House Project System

The in-house project system facilitates the progression of key initiatives identified by the company into distinct projects aimed at meeting specific objectives and achieving outcomes. Those employees who contribute to these projects will be eligible for project-based incentives, awarded according to criteria established by the company. Details about eligibility, payment amounts, and disbursement timelines will be determined on a case-by-case basis, depending on the progress, results, and internal regulations associated with each project.

Initially, the focus will be on projects including rapid property sales, enhancing brand value, uncovering and monetizing owned assets, and reducing expenses to drive operational efficiency.

Conclusion

The implementation of the in-house project system represents a significant step toward achieving our long-term vision. By incentivizing employees to partake in critical projects and creating a framework for recognizing their contributions, we aim to cultivate a proactive corporate culture that emphasizes innovation and value creation. This initiative will not only streamline our operations but also fortify our position in the market as a progressive company fully committed to leveraging technology for continuous improvement and sustained growth.
