Greeting from Representative Director Yasushi Oishi

We sincerely appreciate your continued support and trust.

We are pleased to announce that Asunaro Investment Advisory has completed its 'Meigara Migaki' service with over 110 listed companies cumulatively. This achievement is entirely due to our members who support the mission of this service and the issuing companies that have sincerely responded. We deeply thank you all.

"An era of not just picking stocks, but cultivating them." Under this philosophy, we have been exploring new forms of dialogue between individual investors and companies. Thanks to your support, we have received high praise from members and a strong response rate of approximately 60% from listed companies (issuing entities). Even including silent periods, this service continues to grow as a valuable offering for both investors and companies.

Going forward, we will continue our unified efforts to support our members' asset formation. We kindly ask for your continued support.

Asunaro Co., Ltd. (Asunaro Investment Advisory)

Representative Director Yasushi Oishi

What is Meigara Migaki?

Meigara Migaki is a unique service that adopts an innovative approach in the investment advisory industry. On behalf of members, it directly questions or makes proposals to issuing companies, much like an "activist (vocal shareholder)."

Traditionally, communication in the investment advisory industry has been limited to the advisor and the client. However, Meigara Migaki establishes a unique intermediary structure where Asunaro Investment Advisory acts as a bridge between clients and issuing companies, offering a new investment experience.

Recently, the environment surrounding individual investors has changed significantly. Individual investors are becoming more active as activists and using social media to share investment insights, marking a shift toward actively voicing opinions to companies. However, for many individual investors, taking the first step to directly engage with companies remains a psychological hurdle. Asunaro provides the 'Meigara Migaki' service to support such investors and act as a bridge to companies.

Currently offered as an add-on to Asunaro Investment Advisory's 'Spot Single StockⓇ' service, it transmits members' inquiries and requests to issuing companies, enabling indirect communication. This fosters a sense of community between members and companies and encourages deeper interest in corporate developments.

Meigara Migaki Pioneers Shareholder-Participatory Asset Formation (3 Key Features)

1. Value Creation After Investment

Strongly supports enhancing shareholder value in customer portfolios. Instead of investing and stepping back, continuous engagement with companies after investment helps boost corporate value.

2. Tripartite Dialogue Structure

Establishes a new form of communication among members (individual investors), Asunaro, and issuing companies. This creates an environment where individual investors' voices can more easily reach corporate management.

3. High Response Rate from Issuing Companies

The response rate from listed companies reaches approximately 60%. Since this figure includes periods when responses are generally not possible, such as 'silent periods' during financial reporting, we believe it reflects effective dialogue and the potential to encourage more proactive IR attitudes from companies.

Actual Member Feedback (Satisfaction Survey)

Feedback from members who have actually used 'Meigara Migaki.' As this service is innovative and unprecedented in the investment advisory industry, we present evaluation results centered on 'dissatisfaction' rather than satisfaction to demonstrate service transparency and commitment to improvement.

Overall Satisfaction Survey: Only 4% expressed dissatisfaction

Content Satisfaction Survey: Only 2% expressed dissatisfaction

Contribution to Investment Understanding: Only 1% reported no effect

Expectation Survey: Only 2% reported zero expectation

(*Based on a September 2024 survey of Meigara Migaki users: 89 samples)

Initially, some members expressed concerns or unease about the service. However, actual user feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with almost no dissatisfaction reported. The majority of members have expressed positive evaluations, including satisfaction and future expectations.

Q. Instead of institutional investors, what would you particularly like to emphasize to small individual investors and shareholders? Please share any requests.

A. As outlined in our medium-term management plan, we aim for consolidated sales of ●● billion yen in the fiscal year ending 202● and ●● billion yen in the fiscal year ending 20●●. With the new ●● system in place, we have strengthened our human resources and financial capacity, enabling stronger growth. Additionally, our company already meets the standards for the Prime Market and is building operational track records toward a market transfer within the fiscal year ending 20●● at the earliest. We appreciate your continued support and interest in our future.

[POINT] Through Meigara Migaki, we successfully elicited a strong commitment from the company regarding its intention to upgrade to the Prime Market. Subsequently, in June 2026, the company successfully transferred from the Growth Market to the Prime Market. The stock price rose, and we achieved our second profit-taking target set by our company.
