Architects Studio Japan subsidiary raises capital through third-party allotment

Chami Corporation, a consolidated subsidiary of Architects Studio Japan, announced a third-party allotment of new shares on October 21, 2025. This capital increase, totaling 30,495,000 yen, aims to strengthen Chami's financial foundation for expanding its reform-related businesses and to secure specific construction business licenses. The allotment involved 107 new shares issued to Architects Studio Japan (35 shares), Chami's representative director Kyoji Takio (36 shares), and Shingo Ishizaki (36 shares), an Architects Studio Japan director and newly appointed Chami director.

Following the allotment, Architects Studio Japan's ownership in Chami Corporation decreased from 51.6% to 42.8%, while Kyoji Takio's stake rose from 48.4% to 41.5%, and Shingo Ishizaki gained a 15.7% share. Despite the change in ownership percentage, Chami Corporation remains a consolidated subsidiary due to continued human relations between the companies, including Architects Studio Japan directors serving on Chami's board.

The increased capital is specifically earmarked for Chami's working capital. Architects Studio Japan is currently assessing the impact of this third-party allotment on its full-year earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending February 2026, considering other factors, and will disclose any necessary revisions promptly.
