Hosiden Corporation announced on November 10, 2025, the acquisition of 332,500 common shares totaling JPY 810,635,000. This acquisition was executed through the Tokyo Stock Exchange Trading Network Off-Auction Own Share Repurchase Trading System (ToSTNeT-3) as part of a flexible capital policy. This policy aims to respond to management environment changes, enhance shareholder returns, and improve capital efficiency.

This transaction follows a resolution announced on November 7, 2025, which authorized the acquisition of up to 2,000,000 common shares, representing 3.93% of total issued shares (excluding treasury shares), with a maximum total amount of JPY 4.2 billion. The overall acquisition period is from November 10, 2025, to January 30, 2026.

The initial resolution allowed for market purchases on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, including both auction market transactions and repurchases through ToSTNeT-3. The recent acquisition utilizes the latter method, contributing to the company's ongoing share repurchase program.
