Termination of Audit and Supervisory Board and Establishment of the Audit and Supervisory Committee
On September 30, 2025, the shareholders approved the termination of the Company’s audit and supervisory board and the establishment of the audit and supervisory committee, a committee within the Company’s board of directors. As a result, the Company became a “company with audit and supervisory committee” under Japanese laws. With respect to the requirements of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act and Nasdaq Rule 5600 relating to audit committees, the Company chose to rely on exemptions under these rules that are available to foreign private issuers with an audit and supervisory committee meeting certain requirements.
Directors who are audit and supervisory committee members are not required to be certified public accountants. Under the Companies Act, the majority of the members of the audit and supervisory committee must be outside directors as defined under the Companies Act, who have not served as executive directors, corporate executive officers, managers or any other type of employee for the Company or any of the Company’s subsidiaries for ten years prior to their election and fulfill certain other requirements specified in the Companies Act. The Company currently has an audit and supervisory committee consisting of three members, Hideaki Horikiri, Mutsuko Oba, and Yoshinari Noguchi. The Company believes that Mutsuko Oba and Yoshinari Noguchi are outside directors, causing the audit and supervisory committee to meet the requirements under the Companies Act.
The audit and supervisory committee oversees the Company’s accounting and financial reporting processes and the audits of the Company’s financial statements. An audit and supervisory committee member may note his or her opinion in the audit report issued by the audit and supervisory committee if such an opinion differs from that expressed in the audit report. The audit and supervisory committee is responsible for, among other things:
| ● | supervising the administration of affairs by the directors and also examining the financial statements and business reports to be submitted to the general meeting of shareholders by a representative director and preparing an audit report; | |
| ● | appointing the independent auditors and pre-approving all auditing and non-auditing services permitted to be performed by the independent auditors; | |
| ● | reviewing with the independent auditors any audit problems or difficulties and management’s response; | |
| ● | discussing the annual audited financial statements with management and the independent auditors; | |
| ● | reviewing the adequacy and effectiveness of the Company’s accounting and internal control policies and procedures and any steps taken to monitor and control major financial risk exposures; | |
| ● | reviewing and approving all proposed related party transactions; | |
| ● | meeting separately and periodically with management and the independent auditors; | |
| ● | monitoring compliance with the Company’s code of business conduct and ethics, including reviewing the adequacy and effectiveness of the Company’s procedures to ensure proper compliance; and | |
| ● | determining the opinion on election, removal, resignation of, or compensation for directors who are not audit and supervisory committee members, which may be expressed at a general meeting of shareholders. |
In addition to the Company’s audit and supervisory committee, the Company must appoint accounting auditors (kaikei kansa-nin) from independent certified public accountants or an independent audit firm in Japan. The accounting auditors have the statutory duties of examining the financial statements to be submitted to the shareholders by a representative director at the general meetings of shareholders and reporting their opinion thereon to the relevant directors and the audit and supervisory committee. The accounting auditors also audit the financial statements to be included in the securities reports that, if required, will be filed with the relevant local finance bureau of the Ministry of Finance. The Company has appointed Nanatsu-boshi Audit Corporation as its accounting auditor.
Issuance of the Company’s Common Shares to the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and Director
On December 30, 2025, the Company issued a press release to announce the issuance on the same date of 40,000,000 common shares (the “Shares”) of the Company to Hideaki Horikiri, the chief financial officer and a director of the Company, pursuant to that certain restricted common share compensation agreement (the “Compensation Agreement”) between the Company and Hideaki Horikiri, dated December 15, 2025. Pursuant to the Compensation Agreement, the issuance of the Shares was in consideration for Hideaki Horikiri’s services rendered and included a prohibition on any sale, transfer, loan or pledge of the Shares for a period of 20 years from the date of grant. However, the prohibition may be canceled by a resolution of the Company’s board of directors.
The execution of the Compensation Agreement and the issuance of Shares were authorized by the Company’s shareholder resolution and board of directors’ resolution dated September 30, 2025 and December 15, 2025, respectively. As of December 30, 2025, the common shares held by Hideaki Horikiri accounted for 53.6% of the Company’s outstanding 74,614,207 common shares.
A copy of the English translation of the Compensation Agreement and the press release are furnished in this report as Exhibits 10.1 and 99.1, respectively.
