Plan for Compliance with Listing Maintenance Criteria in the New Market Segment

Japan System Techniques Co., Ltd. (JAST) has today submitted an application to select the Prime Market in relation to the review of the market classification of the Tokyo Stock Exchange, Inc. scheduled for April 2022. As JAST does not meet the listing maintenance criteria for the Prime Market as of the record date for transition (June 30, 2021), JAST has prepared a plan to meet the listing maintenance criteria for the new market segment, as set out below.

1. JAST's status of compliance with the listing maintenance criteria, and the planning period

The status of JAST's compliance with the listing maintenance criteria of the Prime Market as of the record date for the transition was as follows, and the criteria for the market capitalization of tradable shares was not met. JAST is taking steps to ensure that, in the period from the date of submission of the plan until March 2024, the market capitalization of its tradable shares will satisfy the criteria for maintaining its listing.

*The status of JAST' conformity is calculated based on the distribution of JAST's share certificates and other securities, and on other information available to the Tokyo Stock Exchange as of the record date.

2. Basic policy, issues, and initiatives for compliance with the listing maintenance criteria (market capitalization of tradable shares)

Please refer to "Plan for Compliance with Listing Maintenance Criteria in the New Market Segment".

As described in "1. Basic Policy for Compliance with the Listing Maintenance Criteria (1)" on page 2 of the plan, the market capitalization of tradable shares (as calculated by JAST) was 6.7 billion yen at the end of September 2021, and reached 10 billion yen as of November 19, 2021, reflecting the recent rise in JAST's share price and the increase in the ratio of tradable shares. At present, we believe that we are on the borderline of "conformity" with the listing maintenance criteria. Henceforth, JAST will continue to maintain a market capitalization of 10 billion yen in tradable shares and a stable presence in the Prime Market in accordance with said plan.
