AI Storm Co., Ltd. (formerly Jexeed Co., Ltd., Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, President: Toshio Imai, Securities Code: 3719), as announced in the 'Notice Regarding Acquisition of Shares (Making it a Subsidiary) of Japan Tele-System Co., Ltd.' dated February 27, 2026, has successfully completed the acquisition of 100% of the issued shares of Japan Tele-System Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Suginami-ku, Tokyo, hereinafter 'NTS') as of April 1, 2026, making NTS a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Concurrently, we announce that our President, Toshio Imai, has been appointed as the Representative Director of NTS as of the same date.
◆ Completion of Wholly Owned Subsidiary Acquisition
Based on the Board of Directors' resolution on February 27, 2026, the payment for the share transfer was executed on April 1, 2026, and the conversion of NTS into a wholly owned subsidiary was completed as scheduled.
Over its 37-year history, NTS has built long-term relationships with excellent companies and possesses an extremely robust revenue structure based on that track record.
We found a clear strategic necessity in combining our AI implementation capabilities with a business area that possesses both a stable customer base and a growing market, which led to this full acquisition.
Starting today, NTS enters a new phase as a wholly owned subsidiary of our group and is scheduled to be consolidated into our financial results from the second quarter of the fiscal year ending December 2026.
◆ Appointment of Representative Director
Our President, Toshio Imai, will concurrently serve as the Representative Director of NTS effective April 1, 2026. Believing that business transformation through AI implementation can only be realized when top management takes direct responsibility for driving it, he made the decision to personally assume the role of representative.
◆ Future Outlook
Starting today, the full-scale implementation of AI into NTS will commence.
First, we will directly inject our AI technology and automation know-how into NTS's operations to improve response quality and promote operational efficiency.
Furthermore, by leveraging the relationships of trust with excellent customers that NTS has cultivated over many years, we will create new revenue opportunities by deploying AI solutions to existing customers. In addition, the knowledge and track record accumulated through AI implementation at NTS will be utilized to acquire new customers in the call center industry and vertically deploy AI into other businesses.
The results generated through our collaboration with NTS represent the exact value that the first phase of our M&A strategy should demonstrate. For our company, this M&A is the arena to prove our AI-centric growth strategy in reality. We firmly believe that consistently demonstrating the effects of AI implementation in each acquired company is the sure path to making our goal of a 50 billion yen market capitalization a reality.
Connecting the achievements of this first step to our next moves, we will accumulate M&As with speed and execution capability, and unfailingly accomplish the 50 billion yen market capitalization target set forth in our mid-term management plan.
