Architect Developer, Inc. (hereinafter "the Company") announces that the absorption-type demerger to succeed the rental management business operated by Kinuyama Fudosan Co., Ltd. (hereinafter "Kinuyama Fudosan"), which was resolved at the Board of Directors meeting held on February 26, 2026, has become effective today (April 1, 2026).
### 1. Purpose of this Absorption-type Demerger
The rental management business to be succeeded this time is operated by Kinuyama Fudosan, which has been developing community-based business in Komae City, Tokyo, since its founding in 1980.

The succeeded managed properties total 929 units, consisting of approximately 650 rental housing units and 35 parking lots (284 spaces), primarily located within Komae City. Since many of the properties are low-rise apartments, which the Company excels at, we believe we can maximize the use of our existing management know-how and repair/renovation proposals.
