Notice Regarding Announcement of Next Medium-term Management Plan (Outline)

At the Board of Directors meeting held on December 10, 2021, the Company resolved to be listed on the "prime market."

In order to be subject to the transitional measures related to the listing maintenance standards, we have prepared a plan to conform to the listing maintenance standards of the new market category.
