Greetings to Shareholders

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to you for your continued support of our operations and business.

The NS United Kaiun Group incorporates into our activities, every single day, our fundamental principle of contributing to the development of society by providing trusted and high-quality marine transportation services. In fiscal year 2020, due to the reduced visibility in navigating our business, particularly in the first quarter, reflecting restrictions on economic activities in countries around the world caused by the spread of the COVID-19 infections, the Company prepared its earnings plan in July, taking various risks into account. In the second half of the fiscal year, as a result of the launch of new projects based on long-term agreements ensuring stable revenues and our positioning in the dry bulk market against the backdrop of recovering economic activities, earnings were kept at almost the same level as the previous year.

Amid these circumstances, under the Medium-Term Business Plan developed in May 2020, "FORWARD 2030 - Driving U forward over the next decade-," we are committed to becoming "A company that is both profitable and socially responsible" as our vision for ourselves in 2030. In the first year of the plan, we are enhancing earnings stability through the acquisition of new contracts and structural reforms of high priced tonnage and are working toward achieving a sustainable society by setting environmental goals and through other initiatives, led by the newly established Environment Conservation Promotion Group.

We will continue endeavoring to become a company with a sustainable and resilient management base that enables us to capture business opportunities amid the great changes expected in the business environment in the future.

It is our hope that all shareholders will provide even more support, encouragement and cooperation.

June, 2021

Kazuo Tanimizu

President and Representative Director
