Exhibit 99.3
The share exchange described in this notice is made for the securities of a Japanese company. The share exchange is subject to disclosure requirements of Japan that are different from those of the United States. Financial statements included in this document, if any, have been prepared in accordance with Japanese accounting standards that may not be comparable to the financial statements of United States companies.
It may be difficult for you to enforce your rights and any claim you may have arising under the U.S. federal securities laws, since the issuer is located in Japan and some or all of its officers and directors may be residents of a country other than the United States. You may not be able to sue a Japanese company or its officers or directors in a Japanese court for violations of the U.S. securities laws. It may be difficult to compel a Japanese company and its affiliates to subject themselves to a U.S. court’s judgment.
You should be aware that the parties to the share exchange may purchase securities otherwise than under the share exchange, such as in open market or privately negotiated purchases.
This document has been translated from the Japanese-language original document for reference purposes only. In the event of any conflict or discrepancy between this document and the Japanese-language original, the Japanese-language original shall prevail.

GENERAL SHAREHOLDERS MEETING REFERENCE MATERIALS
Proposals and Matters for Reference
Proposal No. 1: Approval of the Stock Exchange Agreement between SANKI SERVICE CORPORATION and the Company
The decision to carry out a business integration between SANKI SERVICE CORPORATION (“Sanki Service”) and the Company based on a spirit of equality between the Companies (the “Business Integration”) was made at meetings of the board of directors of both Companies held on July 15, 2026. In accordance with this decision, it was decided to carry out a share exchange (the “Share Exchange”) under which the Company will become the “stock company acquiring all issued shares” (wholly owning parent company resulting from the share exchange) set forth in Article 767 of the Companies Act and Sanki Service will become the “stock company effecting the share exchange” (wholly owned subsidiary resulting from the share exchange) set forth in Article 768, Paragraph 1, Item 1 of the Companies Act, and a Share Exchange Agreement was executed by the Companies on July 15, 2026.
In this Proposal, the Company asks for approval by shareholders of the Share Exchange Agreement; the reasons for carrying out the Share Exchange, the specifics of the Share Exchange, and other matters concerning this Proposal are as follows.
| 1. | Reasons for Carrying Out the Share Exchange |
In July 1977, Sanki Service was spun off from Hyogo Kiko Co., Ltd. and established in Himeji, Hyogo on the occasion of its business alliance with Sanyo Air Conditioning System Services Co., Ltd. (currently, Panasonic Commercial Equipment Systems Co., Ltd.), aiming to offer infrastructure for pleasant spaces with peace of mind under the business policy of “contributing to society through environmental improvements focused on maintenance”. Since its founding, Sanki Service has been performing maintenance for large air-conditioning equipment as a manufacturer-designated service shop of the Panasonic Group, as well as providing total maintenance services ranging from design, construction and maintenance management to repairs in a consistent manner for equipment such as kitchen equipment, electrical equipment, water supply and drainage, and sanitation equipment, establishing call centers in Japan and Shanghai, China to respond to emergency repairs, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and in recent years expanding business areas to construction for energy-saving equipment renewal and environmental solutions.
Meanwhile, the Company was founded in October 1999, and became a holding company in September 2017, having Shin Pro Maint Inc. and TESCO Co., Ltd. as subsidiaries. The Company Group upholds its management philosophy, “mushin, yume-arata”, under which it aims to be a group that continues to take on new challenges with the dream of realizing a rich life and a rich society. The Company Group has, as its major customers, leading companies in the food service industry, the merchandise and retail industry, the long-term care industry, etc., and as its primary business, performs maintenance at stores and facilities on malfunctioning equipment and devices and issues with building interiors and exteriors on behalf of the head offices of customers. Specifically, the Company Group provides one-stop maintenance services in which it receives maintenance requests from stores and facilities across Japan, and selects and dispatches suitable subcontractors (maintenance keepers) from among over 10,000 Company subcontractors across Japan depending on the type, region, nature, etc. of requests, to resolve issues with equipment and devices and building interior and exteriors at stores and facilities.
- 10 -
The Companies expect that in the maintenance service market in which the Companies operate, demand for maintenance will remain structurally firm against a backdrop of demand for renovation and renewal of aging buildings and equipment as well as a backdrop of responses to energy conservation and carbon neutrality, reduction of electricity expenses, responses to various laws and regulations, etc. At the same time, the role that customers demand that maintenance operators fulfill is shifting from an “occasional” partner which responds to failures and performs one-off work to a “continuous partner” which performs inspections, repairs, renewals, preventive maintenance, and energy-saving proposals on a continuous basis. The Companies believe that in such an environment, in addition to the ability to accumulate individual construction work and spot projects, the key to continuous growth is the ability to accumulate revenue from maintenance on a stable and continuous basis while deepening ongoing relationships with customers.
In capturing such growth opportunities, there are business challenges that the Companies share. Both Companies face the challenges of soaring energy and raw material prices and the destabilization of logistics, as well as the challenges of ensuring a stable system for providing services, and ensuring the maintenance and quality of a network of subcontractors and professionals against a backdrop of worsening labor shortages due to a shrinking labor force. Further, changes to the competitive environment are expected due to a movement on the part of customers to perform maintenance in-house, and industry reorganization; therefore, the Companies recognize that there are certain restrictions if each company were to try to respond individually to such environmental changes and realize continuous growth.
Recognizing this, the Companies exchanged opinions at the management level and deepened their mutual understanding as leading companies in the same industry of providing total maintenance services nationwide. Through this process, the Companies came to share the recognition that by bringing together each other’s business resources on an equal footing, it is possible to strengthen their business foundations and enhance their corporate values, which each company cannot realize on its own.
The Business Integration originated approximately 10 years ago from the commencement of meetings between the founders of the Companies. Since then, the Companies held meetings about once a year to deepen mutual understanding. In the process of discussions and examinations, the Companies determined that as a result of the Business Integration, the mutual utilization of customer bases, professionals, technical capabilities, know-how, and other business resources developed up to now by the Companies, and the establishment of a strong business foundation which would make it possible to improve service quality and business efficiency would contribute to maximization of the value to be provided to customers and further enhancement of the corporate value of the Companies’ group, and the Companies entered into the Business Integration Agreement and Share Exchange Agreement following resolutions at board of directors meetings of the Companies held on July 15, 2026, to implement the Business Integration.
- 11 -
The Business Integration will be implemented by way of a holding company structure, and use the Company as the holding company since it has already adopted a holding company structure, adopting a commonly-used method for the purpose of advancing the business integration in an efficient manner. Specifically, subject to the approval for the Business Integration at the Companies’ general shareholders meetings, Sanki Service and the Company will implement the Share Exchange, and the Company will change its trade name to “SANKI Shin Maint Holdings Co., Ltd.”
The business purpose of the Business Integration is that the Companies’ strengths have mutually complementary orientations. Sanki Service’s strengths are its technical capabilities and on-site execution capabilities supported by over 300 engineers. Meanwhile, the Company’s strength is its ability to operate its maintenance platform through reception, dispatch, project management and other control tower functions for customers having many stores nationwide. The Companies will integrate these technical capabilities and platform operation capabilities as a result of the Business Integration, and concurrently expand customer bases (customer portfolios) and service areas among existing customers (expansion of shares within customers), as well as expand services from a starting point of continuous maintenance to renewal, preventive maintenance, energy-saving proposals, etc. with the aim of maximizing the value to be provided to customers and enhancing corporate value.
The Companies envision the following synergies resulting from the implementation of the Business Integration.
| (1) | Creation of Cross-Sell Opportunities through Mutual Utilization of Customer Bases |
The Companies understand that each has a strong customer base in a different industry, and the business relationships with customers and industry knowledge that has been cultivated by each company until now complement each other. After the Business Integration, the Companies will create cross-sell opportunities by utilizing each other’s customer bases and introducing customers to each other. By doing so, the Companies will be able to provide services to customers to whom each company could not fully approach on its own, and able to increase the value provided to customers by providing customers with end-to-end services throughout the group. Further, by sharing information on customer needs and proposal know-how possessed by the Companies’ sales representatives, it will become possible to make proposals with higher added value by meeting the challenges faced by each customer, as well as to improve customer satisfaction and strengthen ongoing business relationships.
| (2) | Improvement of Service Quality by Sharing Technical Capabilities and Know-how |
The services provided by the Companies differ in terms of intended customer concerns and areas in which service is provided, and therefore, technical capabilities and know-how cultivated through the provision of services are also different between the two companies. After the Business Integration, by sharing their technical capabilities and know-how, the Companies will further improve the services to be provided. Specifically, either company’s professional technical capabilities and know-how will be incorporated in the other company’s process for providing services, thereby possibly enabling the sophistication of service quality and expansion of the
- 12 -
areas in which service is provided. Further, by operating their businesses in a manner making the best use of the strengths of each company while sharing with each other the Companies’ best on-site practices, the Companies will improve the service quality of the overall group, and develop new services combining the Companies’ knowledge and experience.
| (3) | Strengthening of Business Foundation through Mutual Utilization of Know-How on Service Provision System |
The primary service provision system of the Companies as of now is that the Company provides services using its network of subcontractors, while Sanki Service provides services using mostly its own employees. After the Business Integration, by sharing with each other know-how on establishing and managing a network of subcontractors and know-how on education and work standardization pertaining to service provision by a company’s own employees, and combining the stable and high-quality service provision system of using a company’s own employees with the flexible and highly expandable service provision system of using a network of subcontractors, the Companies will strengthen their business foundations. Additionally, since flexible response to increases and decreases in demand and in accordance with the state of secured personnel for each region becomes possible, the Companies believe that their response capabilities will be improved, and opportunities to receive orders will be maximized.
| (4) | Sales Area Expansion and Cost Efficiency through Mutual Utilization and Optimization of Sales Bases |
The Companies each have sales bases in different regions, which means that the Companies complement each other in terms of sales areas. After the Business Integration, by mutually utilizing each other’s sales bases, the Companies will find customers in regions where neither company was able to fully operate sales activities until now, and expand sales areas. The Companies consider that in regions where the Companies’ sales bases do not overlap, using the regional network of a sales base which will become newly available will enable more efficient approaches to new customers. On the other hand, in regions where the Companies’ sales bases overlap, while each company will maintain its customer response capabilities and sales functions to maintain its uniqueness, the Companies will optimize the locations of sales bases and the distribution of sales personnel, reorganize overlapping work, and take other measures, as needed, to reduce costs and improve sales efficiency.
| (5) | Enhancement of Management Efficiency by Consolidating Corporate Functions, etc. |
The Companies believe that after the Business Integration, it will be possible to reduce the cost of managerial departments and improve the management efficiency of the overall group by improving the efficiency of the head office functions and reducing listing costs. Specifically, overlapping functions of the managerial departments will be reorganized, and work processes will be standardized with the aim of improving the efficiency of corporate work and reducing management costs. In the long term, regarding the core systems etc. used by the Companies, the Companies will consider system operation cost reductions and data utilization sophistication through gradual consolidation, giving consideration to work-related needs and migration risks etc. It is expected that the business administration system of the overall group can thereby be improved, and limited business resources can be selectively distributed to areas where growth is highly expected.

| 3. | Overview of the Share Exchange |
| (1) | Matters Concerning the Appropriateness of the Share Exchange Consideration |
| (i) | Terms of Allotment for the Share Exchange |
| The Company | Sanki Service | |||
| Allotment ratio for the Share Exchange |
1 | 1.920 | ||
| Number of shares to be delivered in the Share Exchange |
Company stock: 11,179,572 shares (planned) | |||
| (Note 1) | Share allotment ratio |
The Company will allot and deliver 1.920 shares of Company stock for each share of Sanki Service stock. However, no shares will be allotted in the Share Exchange with respect to the Sanki Service stock held by the Company as of the Time of Record (as defined below). The above allotment ratio in the Share Exchange (“Share Exchange Ratio”) is subject to change upon mutual discussion and agreement between the Companies in the event of any material change to the assumptions on which the calculation of the Share Exchange Ratio is based.
- 14 -
| (Note 2) | Number of shares of Company stock to be delivered in the Share Exchange |
Upon the Share Exchange, the Company will deliver the shares of the Company stock to Sanki Service shareholders (provided, however, that this refers to the shareholders after the cancellation of treasury shares below) as of the time (the “Time of Record”) immediately before the point in time when the Company acquires all issued shares of Sanki Service through the Share Exchange, in exchange for the Sanki Service stock held by each shareholder and in a number calculated by multiplying the total number of shares of the Sanki Service stock held by each shareholder by the Share Exchange Ratio. Further, the shares to be delivered by the Company will be delivered as a result of the issuance of new shares (11,179,572 shares).
By a resolution of a meeting of the board of directors of Sanki Service to be held on or before the day immediately preceding the effective date of the Share Exchange, Sanki Service plans to cancel as of the Time of Record all treasury shares held as of the Time of Record, including shares of the restricted stock Sanki Service allotted as restricted stock compensation to officers (“Restricted Stock”) for which transfer restrictions were not lifted as of the business day preceding the effective date of the Share Exchange and which Sanki Service will acquire at no cost, as well as the shares acquired in response to demands for purchase of shares by dissenting shareholders under Article 785, Paragraph 1 of the Companies Act in relation to the Share Exchange. The number of shares to be delivered as a result of the Share Exchange may be revised going forward, due to reasons such as the acquisition and cancellation of Sanki Service treasury shares.
| (Note 3) | Treatment of shares of less than one unit |
The shareholders of Sanki Service who will hold shares of less than one unit (i.e., fewer than 100 shares) in the Company as a result of the Share Exchange, will be entitled to use the following program concerning the Company stock as shares of less than one unit cannot be sold on the financial instruments exchange market.
| | Demand for purchase of shares of less than one unit (sale of shares of less than one unit (100 shares)) |
Under Article 192, Paragraph 1 of the Companies Act, shareholders who hold shares of less than one unit in the Company may request that the Company buy back their shares of less than one unit.
| (Note 4) | Treatment of fractional shares |
If any shareholder of Sanki Service is to receive a fraction of less than one share of Company stock in connection with the Share Exchange, the Company will, pursuant to Article 234 of the Companies Act and other relevant laws and regulations, sell Company stock in a number equivalent to the total sum of such fractional shares (any fraction of less than one share in the total number will be rounded down) and deliver the sales proceeds to such shareholders in proportion to their fractional shares.
Because Sanki Service has not issued any stock acquisition rights or bonds with stock acquisition rights, there is no need for treatment of stock acquisition rights or bonds with stock acquisition rights in connection with the Share Exchange.
- 15 -
| (ii) | Basis for the Terms of Allotment for the Share Exchange |
| A. | Basis and Reasons for the Terms of Allotment |
In order to ensure fairness and appropriateness in calculating the Share Exchange Ratio as stated in “(i) Terms of Allotment for the Share Exchange” above, the Companies each appointed a third-party valuation firm and various advisors, independent of the Companies. Prior to beginning full-fledged discussions, the Company retained Japan Blue M&A Advisory, Ltd. (“JBMA”) as its financial advisor and third-party valuation firm and TMI Associates as its legal advisor, and Sanki Service retained Maxus Corporate Advisory Inc. (“Maxus Corporate Advisory”) as its financial advisor and third-party valuation firm and Hibiya-Nakata as its legal advisor.
As described in “C. Measures to Ensure Fairness” below, as a result of careful discussions and examination based on the share exchange ratio valuation report dated July 14, 2026 acquired from JBMA, the Company’s financial advisor and third-party valuation firm, advice from TMI Associates, its legal advisor, and the results of due diligence conducted by the Company on Sanki Service from mid-May to late June 2026, the Company has concluded that the Share Exchange Ratio is appropriate and serves the interests of the shareholders of the Company. Therefore, the Company has determined that implementing the Share Exchange using the Share Exchange Ratio is appropriate.
On the other hand, as described in “C. Measures to Ensure Fairness” below, as a result of careful discussions and examination based on the share exchange ratio valuation report dated July 14, 2026 acquired from Maxus Corporate Advisory, Sanki Service’s financial advisor and third-party valuation firm, advice from Hibiya-Nakata, its legal advisor, and the results of due diligence conducted by Sanki Service on the Company from mid-May to late June 2026, Sanki Service concluded that the Share Exchange Ratio was appropriate and served the interests of the shareholders of Sanki Service. Therefore, Sanki Service determined that implementing the Share Exchange using the Share Exchange Ratio would be appropriate.
As described above, the Companies carefully reviewed the results of the due diligence conducted by each party on the other party, with consideration to the calculation results of the share exchange ratio submitted by the Companies’ respective third-party valuation firms and the advice from the Companies’ respective legal advisors, and held a series of negotiations and discussions while giving comprehensive consideration to such factors as the financial conditions, asset conditions, and future prospects of the Companies. As a result, the Companies determined that the Share Exchange Ratio is appropriate and will contribute to the interests of the shareholders of the Companies. Therefore, the Companies agreed to implement the Share Exchange using the Share Exchange Ratio.
However, the Share Exchange Ratio is subject to change, in accordance with the Share Exchange Agreement, upon mutual discussion and agreement between the Companies in the event of any material change to the assumptions used as the basis of the calculation.
- 16 -
| B. | Matters Concerning Calculation of the Share Exchange Ratio |
| (a) | Names of valuation firms and relationship with the Companies |
Both JBMA, the third-party valuation firm of the Company, and Maxus Corporate Advisory, the third-party valuation firm of Sanki Service, are valuation firms independent of the Companies and do not constitute related parties of the Companies, with no material interests that should be disclosed in connection with the Share Exchange.
Mizuho Bank, Ltd. (“Mizuho Bank”), a group company of JBMA, has performed financing transactions for the Company as part of normal banking transactions, but has no material interests pertaining to a conflict of interest with the Company in relation to the Share Exchange. According to JBMA, JBMA has established and implemented an appropriate system to avoid conflicts of interests with Mizuho Bank, such as information firewall measures, and has calculated the share exchange ratio from a position independent from the lender Mizuho Bank. Appropriate measures to prevent adverse effects have been established between JBMA and Mizuho Bank, and since the Company and JBMA are implementing a transaction with the same terms and conditions as that of ordinary transaction partners, sufficient independence has been ensured in JBMA carrying out its duties as a financial advisor and third-party valuation firm in the Share Exchange. Therefore, the Company has determined that there is no particular problem in relation to requesting a share valuation of the Company stock from JBMA.
While the fees payable to JBMA in relation to the Share Exchange include a contingency fee to be paid contingent on the closing of the Share Exchange, it has been determined that, taking into account such factors as the general practices for similar transactions and the appropriateness of a compensation structure that would result in the Company incurring a considerable financial burden in a case where the Share Exchange is not completed, the inclusion of a contingency fee to be paid contingent on the completion of the Share Exchange does not negate JBMA’s independence. Additionally, while the fees payable to Maxus Corporate Advisory in relation to the Share Exchange include a contingency fee to be paid contingent on the closing of the Share Exchange, it has been determined that, taking into account the general practices for similar transactions, the appropriateness of a compensation structure that would result in Sanki Service incurring a considerable financial burden in a case where the Share Exchange is not completed, and the like, the inclusion of a contingency fee to be paid contingent on the completion of the Share Exchange does not negate Maxus Corporate Advisory’s independence.
| (b) | Overview of the calculation |
| (i) | Calculation by JBMA |
For the share exchange ratio, JBMA conducted valuations using, as valuation methods: market share price reference analysis, since the Company’s common stock is listed on the Growth Market of the TSE, Sanki Service’s common stock is listed on the Standard Market of the TSE, and market share prices are available for the Companies; comparable company analysis, since the Companies have more than one comparable listed company, making it possible to estimate their equity values using the comparable company analysis; and discount cash flow analysis (“DCF Analysis”) to reflect the future business activities of the Companies in the valuation.
- 17 -
The results of the share exchange ratio calculation under each valuation method, when using 1 as the equity value per share of Company stock, are as follows.
| Method |
Calculated share exchange ratio range | |||
| Market share price reference analysis |
1.540 - 1.745 | |||
| Comparable company analysis |
1.581 - 1.967 | |||
| DCF Analysis |
1.103 - 2.420 | |||
In the market share price reference analysis, using July 14, 2026 as the valuation reference date, the closing prices on the TSE on the valuation reference date and the simple average of the closing prices for the one month, three months, and six months dating from the valuation reference date were used for the respective valuations, and based on the results thereof, a share exchange ratio range was calculated.
In the DCF Analysis, corporate value was evaluated by discounting future cashflows and the like on the basis of financial forecasts prepared by the Companies to a present value at a certain discount rate. It is noted that regarding the financial forecasts of both companies which JBMA used as the basis of its valuations in the DCF Analysis, there were no business years for which a significant increase or decrease in profits is projected, but there were business years for which a significant increase or decrease in free cash flow is projected. Specifically, regarding the Company, in the term ending February 2028, a significant increase in free cash flow is projected because of a resolution of the one-time increase in operating capital arising in the preceding business year; and regarding Sanki Service, in the term ending May 2027, a significant increase in free cash flow is projected because of a resolution of the one-time increase in working capital arising in the preceding business year, and in the terms ending May 2029 and May 2030, a significant increase in free cash flow is forecast because of an increase in operating profit margin and a decrease in amount of increase in working capital compared to the preceding business year.
In calculating the above share exchange ratio, JBMA, in principle, used public information and information presented to JBMA as is, assumed that such materials and information etc. were accurate and complete, and did not independently verify the accuracy and completeness of such information, nor is JBMA obligated to do so. JBMA also did not perform any independent valuation or assessment of the assets or liabilities (including derivative transactions, off-balance sheet assets and liabilities, and other contingent liabilities) of the Companies and their affiliates, nor did JBMA request a third party institution to conduct an appraisal or assessment of such assets or liabilities. JBMA assumed that the business plans, financial forecasts, and other information related to the future provided by the Company were reasonably prepared by the Company’s management on the basis
- 18 -
of the best forecasts and judgements possible at the present time, and that the business plans, financial forecasts, and other information related to the future provided by Sanki Service were reasonably prepared by Sanki Service’s management on the basis of the best forecasts and judgements possible at the present time. JBMA relied on such information without independent verification of the accuracy, appropriateness, and feasibility of the Company and Sanki Service’s business plans. JBMA’s valuation of the share exchange ratio reflects the information obtained by JBMA and the economic conditions existing up to July 14, 2026. The sole purpose of JBMA’s valuation is to be used as a reference by the board of directors of the Company in considering the Share Exchange Ratio.
| (ii) | Calculation by Maxus Corporate Advisory |
For the share exchange ratio, Maxus Corporate Advisory conducted valuations using, as valuation methods: average market share price analysis, since Sanki Service’s common stock is listed on the Standard Market of the TSE, the Company’s common stock is listed on the Growth Market of the TSE, and market share prices are available for the Companies; comparable company analysis, since the Companies have more than one comparable listed company, making it possible to estimate their equity values using the comparable company analysis; and DCF Analysis to reflect the future business activities of the Companies in the valuation.
The results of the share exchange ratio calculation under each valuation method, when using 1 as the equity value per share of Company stock, are as follows.
| Method |
Calculated share exchange ratio range | |||
| Average market share price analysis |
1.540 - 1.745 | |||
| Comparable company analysis |
1.244 - 2.095 | |||
| DCF Analysis |
1.246 - 1.952 | |||
In the average market share price analysis, using July 14, 2026 as the valuation reference date, the closing prices on the TSE on the valuation reference date and the simple average of the closing prices for the one month, three months, and six months dating from the valuation reference date were used for the respective valuations, and based on the results thereof, a share exchange ratio range was calculated.
In the DCF Analysis, corporate value was evaluated by discounting future cashflows and the like on the basis of financial forecasts prepared by the Companies to a present value at a certain discount rate. It is noted that regarding the financial forecasts of Sanki Service, which Maxus Corporate Advisory used as the basis of its valuations in the DCF Analysis, there were no business years for which a significant increase or decrease in profits is projected, but there were business years for which a significant increase or decrease in free cash flow is projected. Specifically, the business year ending May 2027 a significant increase in free cash flow is expected as a result of eliminating the cause for the temporary increase in working capital which arose during the previous business year.

In calculating the above share exchange ratio, Maxus Corporate Advisory, in principle, used public information and information presented to Maxus Corporate Advisory as is, assumed that such materials and information etc. were accurate and complete, and did not independently verify the accuracy and completeness of such information, nor is Maxus Corporate Advisory obligated to do so. Maxus Corporate Advisory also did not perform any independent valuation or assessment of the assets or liabilities (including derivative transactions, off-balance sheet assets and liabilities, and other contingent liabilities) of the Companies and their affiliates, nor did Maxus Corporate Advisory request a third party institution to conduct an appraisal or assessment of such assets or liabilities. Maxus Corporate Advisory assumed that that the business plans, financial forecasts, and other information related to the future provided by Sanki Service were reasonably prepared by Sanki Service’s management on the basis of the best forecasts and judgements possible at the present time, and that the business plans, financial forecasts, and other information related to the future provided by the Company were reasonably prepared by the Company’s management on the basis of the best forecasts and judgements possible at the present time. Maxus Corporate Advisory relied on such information without independent verification of the accuracy, appropriateness, and feasibility of Sanki Service and the Company’s business plans. Maxus Corporate Advisory’s valuation of the share exchange ratio reflects the information obtained by Maxus Corporate Advisory and the economic conditions existing up to July 14, 2026. The sole purpose of Maxus Corporate Advisory’s valuation is to be used as a reference by the board of directors of Sanki Service in considering the share exchange ratio.
| C. | Measures to Ensure Fairness |
Through the Share Exchange, Sanki Service, a listed company, will become the “stock company effecting the share exchange” (wholly-owned subsidiary resulting from the share exchange) set forth in Article 768, Paragraph 1, Item 1 of the Companies Act. Therefore, the Companies have implemented the following measures to ensure fairness in the Share Exchange.
| (i) | Obtaining of valuation reports from independent third-party valuation firms To ensure fairness in calculating the share exchange ratio for the Share Exchange, the Company retained JBMA, a third-party valuation firm independent of the Companies, and obtained a valuation report regarding the share exchange ratio on July 14, 2026, and Sanki Service retained Maxus Corporate Advisory, a third-party valuation firm independent of the Companies, and obtained a valuation report regarding the share exchange ratio on July 14, 2026. Summaries of the valuation reports are provided in “B. Matters Concerning Calculation of the Share Exchange Ratio” above. Neither of the Companies has obtained a written opinion (fairness opinion) from their third-party valuation firms to the effect that the share exchange ratio of the Share Exchange is fair to the shareholders of the Companies from a financial viewpoint. |
- 20 -
| (ii) | Receipt of advice from independent law firms |
As legal advisors for the Share Exchange, the Company retained TMI Associates and Sanki Service retained Hibiya-Nakata and respectively received legal advice on the procedures for the Share Exchange and the method and process of decision making. TMI Associates and Hibiya-Nakata are independent of the Companies and do not have any material interest in the Companies in relation to the Business Integration, including the Share Exchange.
| D. | Measures to Avoid Conflicts of Interest |
As of the present time, there are no personnel or business relationships between the Companies, and additionally, the “Matters to be Observed Pertaining to MBOs, etc.” set forth in Rule 441 of the Securities Listing Regulations do not apply to the Share Exchange. Therefore, no special measures have been taken on the occasion of the Share Exchange.
