Notice Regarding the Company Split within the Group (Simple Absorption-Type Company Split)

At the Board of Directors' meeting on July 1, 2021, Seven & i Holdings Co., Ltd. (the "Company") passed a resolution to transfer the rights and obligations concerning the management business of Peace Deli Co., Ltd. ("Peace Deli"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, to Ito-Yokado Co., Ltd. ("Ito-Yokado") and York Co., Ltd. ("York") by means of a company split (the "Company Split"), as mentioned below.

The Company Split regards our wholly-owned subsidiaries as the succeeding companies, so the matters to be disclosed and the content thereof has been partially omitted.

1. Objectives of the Company Split

To promote the Tokyo metropolitan area food strategy, the Seven & i Group (the "Group") changed the trading name of York Mart Co., Ltd. to York on June 1, 2020. We also undertook a reorganization in which a total of 20 Shokuhinkan and THE PRICE stores were transferred from Ito-Yokado.

Based on our Medium-Term Management Plan, announced on July 1, 2021, we have decided to undertake a further reorganization with a view to building a common infrastructure and expanding joint procurement functions for the purpose of promoting the Group food strategy as part of our Group strategy. By strengthening cooperation with Ito-Yokado and York, the Company aims to build a common infrastructure for the Group and thus to realize a high-quality and efficient product supply system. To this end, the Company will transfer 60% of its shares in Peace Deli, a wholly owned subsidiary, to Ito-Yokado and York, with each receiving 30%. The Company will retain a portion of its Peace Deli shares and will continue participating in initiatives related to the Group food strategy, with a view to collaborating with other Group operating companies.
