We hereby announce that we have resolved to implement a shareholder benefit system, as part of our shareholder returns, under which we will present benefit coupons exchangeable for one "Unaju <Take>" meal at stores operated by our group under the name "Unagi no Naruse." (hereinafter referred to as "This Shareholder Benefit").

1. Purpose of This Shareholder Benefit System

Our group aims to express gratitude for the daily support from our shareholders, enhance the attractiveness of our stock, encourage a broad range of individuals to hold our shares, and deepen their understanding of our group's business by allowing them to experience firsthand the products and store services offered by "Unagi no Naruse." To commemorate the launch of "Nidaime Hitsumabushi no Naruse" (Note 1), a new store format within "Unagi no Naruse," which is scheduled to begin operations in July 2026, we will implement a special shareholder benefit.

Furthermore, to encourage the mid- to long-term holding of our shares, we have also decided to implement a regular shareholder benefit system.

2. Details of This Shareholder Benefit System

Under this shareholder benefit system, shareholders who own 100 shares or more of our stock as of the end of July 2026 will receive four benefit coupons exchangeable for one "Unaju <Take>" meal at "Unagi no Naruse" stores as a special shareholder benefit (hereinafter referred to as "This Special Shareholder Benefit").

Additionally, from the end of March 2027 onwards, shareholders who have continuously held 100 shares or more of our stock for at least one year as of the end of March and the end of September each year will receive two of the same benefit coupons as a regular shareholder benefit (hereinafter referred to as "This Regular Shareholder Benefit").

This Special Shareholder Benefit is planned for a one-time implementation, while This Regular Shareholder Benefit will be implemented twice annually, with the record dates being the end of March and the end of September.
