Kewpie to purchase fractional shares after Aohata share exchange

Kewpie Corporation's Board of Directors resolved on November 27, 2025, to purchase fractional shares allocated to Aohata shareholders as part of a share exchange reorganization. This move, effective November 1, 2025, establishes Kewpie as the wholly-owning parent company of Aohata, with Aohata becoming its wholly-owned subsidiary.

The purchase involves 331.34 shares of Kewpie's common stock, designated as fractional shares from the exchange. The total cash amount delivered for this purchase will be calculated by multiplying the 331.34 fractional shares by the closing price of Kewpie's common stock on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on the purchase date, November 27, 2025.
