Notice Concerning Subsidiary Acquisition Through Acquisition of

Shares of MK LOGI Co., Ltd.

The Company hereby informs you that it resolved at the Board of Directors meeting held today to make MK LOGI Co., Ltd. ("MK LOGI") a subsidiary through the acquisition of MK LOGI's issued shares (the "Share Acquisition"), and concluded a share transfer agreement on the same day.

  1. Purpose of Share Acquisition
    In the medium-term management plan, the Company understands that in order to achieve sustained growth, it needs to address the increasing freight volume in each of its core businesses, EC logistics, low-temperature food logistics and medicine & medical logistics, secure and develop human resources capable of driving business expansion in the face of an increasing shortage of human resources and operating vehicles, and promote and implement DX to promote labor-saving and manpower-saving and improve productivity. Furthermore, with the aim of further business expansion, the Company works to streamline business operations by concentrating investment into growth businesses and revitalizing/restructuring poorly performing businesses through the appropriate allocation of limited management resources. It also promotes ESG operations proactively in its attempt to not only maximize economic value but also create social value.
    In this plan, the Company has set "Expansion and development of core businesses to respond to increasing logistics demand in growing markets" as a medium-term priority measure, and seeks to satisfy the needs of its customers while promoting further business expansion in the rapidly growing e-commerce market by establishing a high-quality,high-efficiency logistics process that is based on the integrated supply chain (center operation, trunk transport service, last one mile) to serve both existing and new customers.
    The Company has decided on the Share Acquisition as it believes that it will allow for the strengthening of functions in the Group's EC logistics business and the realization of increased corporate value for both companies as a highly synergistic effect will be demonstrated by MK LOGI being added to the Group, because MK LOGI expands the provision of third-party logistics (3PL) services for D2C (*) operators as its main business, and possesses "high productivity demonstrated through high quality facilities," "human resources who support the sites" and "3PL know-how for D2C operators who have hidden potential for a high level of growth."
    1. Direct-to-consumertransactions: Transactions in which products are sold directly to customers through a company's proprietary e-commerce website without going through an intermediate distributor
  2. Method of Share Acquisition
    The Company plans to purchase 200 of MK LOGI's issued shares through the Share Acquisition, and make MK LOGI a wholly owned subsidiary.
