Both irodas and TechShu have been active in the new graduate recruitment market, and this partnership will consolidate resources from both companies.

By partnering and integrating with companies that possess excellent services, media, and expertise in this field, irodas aims to build a platform that provides a higher-value recruitment experience for both students and companies.

Under its concept, "A place to meet a good life, not just a good company," irodas has a vision of growing its new graduate recruitment support business to be the top in Japan. M&A-driven expansion is positioned as a key strategic element, and the company plans to continue discussions with partners where synergy can be anticipated.

### Comments on the Acquisition

**irodas Representative: Kenta Watanabe, President of irodas** I am very pleased to take over TechShu as part of the irodas Group and further develop it. We at irodas have engaged with many students and companies in new graduate recruitment, and the achievements and know-how that TechShu has accumulated through its unique SNS-based approach are very attractive to us. We intend to maximize our group strength in marketing, career advisors, and job listings, and provide further value in the new graduate recruitment market.

**TechShu Executive: Yuto Naiki, CEO of TechShu** TechShu's service will begin a new journey as part of the irodas Group. TechShu has pursued a new way of matching students and companies through our unique approach of "SNS x New Graduate Recruitment." By gaining irodas's solid foundation, the expansion of marketing investment, career advisor staff, and job networks will accelerate significantly. I am confident that we will be able to take on even bigger challenges as a service.

**Yuki Jinno, COO of TechShu** I am very happy that TechShu's service is moving to a new stage under the irodas Group. With irodas, we can expect a dramatic expansion in areas where we previously had limits as a standalone company: marketing budget, career advisor resources, and the number of job listings.

**TechShu Shareholder: Taiki Hirosawa, Representative of THESEED Capital** I look forward to their continued success at irodas due to their extremely high passion for marketing and business.

**Atsumi Murata, Founder of Lovegraph, CEO of MILY** Two years ago, I was attracted by Naiki's marketing sense and Jinno's perseverance, leading me to make an angel investment. I am confident that the connections TechShu has built with students through SNS, combined with irodas's foundation, will bring a fresh breeze to the new graduate recruitment market.
