AlbaLink Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Koto-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Kenji Kawata; hereinafter 'AlbaLink') is pleased to announce that it has entered into a Top Partner agreement with Fukuyama City Football Club (hereinafter 'Fukuyama City FC'). Moving forward, both organizations will leverage their respective expertise and strengths to work with local communities to solve regional issues, starting with the vacant house problem, and to promote initiatives aimed at achieving sustainable urban development.

### Background of the Partnership AlbaLink has been tackling the social issue of vacant houses under the mission of 'Zero Vacant Houses by 2100.' By creating new value through the revitalization and utilization of real estate with low liquidity, the company is promoting a mechanism for resolving the vacant house problem that does not rely on public funds, in cooperation with local governments nationwide.

On the other hand, Fukuyama City FC is a soccer club based in Fukuyama City, Hiroshima Prefecture, primarily active in the Bingo area. Founded in 2017, the club operates under the philosophy of 'Providing courage to live and vitality for tomorrow to all people,' and works on solving regional issues and regional revitalization through sports.

Furthermore, Fukuyama City FC has been developing activities such as human resource development, town planning, and community formation through sports, continuing to grow as a club rooted in the region.

While the two parties have been active in different fields, they share high affinity in terms of 'solving regional issues' and 'private-sector-led sustainable regional development,' which led to the signing of this sponsorship agreement.

### Future Initiatives Going forward, we will promote initiatives for the effective use of regional resources and problem-solving by combining the strong regional network and communication power of Fukuyama City FC with the professional knowledge and expertise of AlbaLink in vacant house revitalization.

We will also continue to develop activities that contribute to solving social issues, including the vacant house problem, while strengthening cooperation with local communities.
