As the Company Split is a simplified incorporation-type company split involving only the Company, some disclosure items and contents are omitted from this announcement.

1. Purpose of the Company Split

The Company Split will be implemented to promote agile and flexible business strategy for the purpose of developing and expanding the CDMO business for regenerative medicines, including cell and gene therapies (hereinafter, the "Business").

*As the Company Split meets the requirements for a simplified incorporation-type company split in accordance with the provisions of Article 805 of the Companies Act of Japan, the Company does not require approval at its General Meeting of Shareholders.

  1. Method of the Company Split

The Company Split is a simplified company split in which the Company is the splitting company and the company to be newly established is the successor company, and the newly established company will be a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

  1. Allocation of shares upon the Company Split

The successor company will issue 10,000 shares of common stock upon the Company Split, and all the shares will be allocated to the Company.

The successor company will assume the assets, liabilities, contractual status, and other rights and obligations with respect to the Business prescribed in the Company Split plan to be established on May 31, 2023.

  1. Prospects for fulfilling financial obligations

It is expected that the amount of assets of the successor company after the effective date of the Company Split will exceed that of liabilities. As of today, it is not anticipated that any event that is likely to hinder fulfillment of financial obligations to be borne by the successor company will occur on or after the effective date of the Company Split.
