Daichi Takagi, attorney-at-law representing the petitioner, was appointed as trustee, and the trustee is proceeding with the reorganization proceedings by organizing a team of 15 trustee representatives.
In this reorganization proceeding, Tomohiro Kitano, attorney-at-law, was appointed as a member of the investigative committee in connection with the petition for commencement of the reorganization proceedings.

In this reorganization proceeding, we conducted a quick and efficient claim investigation of filed claims by comparing internal management data with invoices, etc. received from each creditor.
The amount of general reorganization claims determined as a result of the claims investigation is approximately 21,230,380,000 yen.

Ltd. as financial advisor and initiated fair and appropriate sponsor selection procedures. Immediately after the issuance of the Temporary Restraining Order, we immediately solicited sponsors, and after going through the primary and secondary bidding procedures, we entered into an agreement with Regional Mirai Group, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as "Regional Mirai Group"), and entered into a basic sponsorship agreement with the company on November 28, 2007. Since then, the company has received specific support, including financial support based on a loan agreement dated March 10, 2026.

If the total amount is found not to satisfy these criteria, the total amount of consideration referred to in (ii) shall be adjusted.
(iv) Regional Mirai Group and its affiliated companies shall make their utmost efforts to operate the business subject to succession on the premise that the business subject to succession will continue, and shall continue employment of the reorganized company's employees, contract employees, part-time workers, and other persons engaged in the reorganized company as of the date of business succession, under employment conditions no lower than those in effect on the date of business succession.
