Today, the Board of Directors at FinTech Global Incorporated (hereafter, "FGI" and "the Company") gave its approval for Moomin Monogatari, Ltd. (hereafter, "Moomin Monogatari"), a subsidiary of the Company, to sign a construction contract for work on interior and exterior features (target of construction: movable property) at Moominvalley Park. Also at this time, FGI gives notice that FinTech Asset Management Incorporated (hereafter, "FAM"), which maintains a service agreement with Hanno Local Resource Utilization LLC on management of Moominvalley Park, will sign a construction contract (target of construction: real estate) for special interior and exterior features at Moominvalley Park.

Now, the Board has agreed that this same company will be contracted to construct these interior and exterior features.

Note that there are two separate contracts for interior and exterior feature-related construction work by Nomura.
