Aippear Inc. Increases Capital to 30 Million Yen to Accelerate DX in the Construction Industry

Aippear Inc. (Location: Kobe, Hyogo Prefecture; CEO: Terumitsu Mori) is pleased to announce that it has increased its capital from 10 million yen to 30 million yen as of March 18, 2026. This increase aims to secure investment capacity for business expansion, strengthen product development and support systems, and stabilize the management foundation in the current fiscal year. Aippear will continue to accelerate the provision of services aimed at promoting DX and improving productivity in the architecture and construction industries, deepening value provision to customers and partner companies.

### Background and Purpose of Capital Increase
Since its launch in 2018, Aippear has provided an 'easy-to-use business mechanism' connecting the field and management as a business management system specialized for the construction and remodeling industries. The scale of use is steadily expanding, with over 1,000 business locations nationwide and cumulative users surpassing 10,000 (as of January 2026).

Meanwhile, the construction industry faces increasingly complex challenges each year, including labor shortages, dependency on individual skills, and the need for sophisticated cost management. We need to accelerate efforts to contribute to the productivity of the entire industry by developing field-oriented functions, standardizing business processes, and expanding integration with external services.

This capital increase is intended to respond to these changes in the business environment and strengthen the financial foundation that supports sustainable service provision and growth. Through this increase, we will promote the following initiatives:
- **Strengthening investment in products and infrastructure:** Function expansion, infrastructure maintenance for stable operation, and improvement of security levels.
- **Promotion of business standardization and automation:** Strengthening mechanisms that lead to the elimination of dependency on individuals and improved business efficiency.
- **Expansion of user support systems:** Enhancing support for post-introduction operation stability and improving the quality of support services.
- **Strengthening commitment to stakeholders:** Clarifying the stance toward sustainable business operations for clients, financial institutions, and partner companies.

We will take this capital increase as an opportunity to further promote the digitalization of operations in the construction industry and further strengthen the provision of services that contribute to improving user productivity.

### Overview of Capital Increase
- Capital before increase: 10,000,000 JPY
- Capital after increase: 30,000,000 JPY
- Increase amount: 20,000,000 JPY

### Future Outlook
Aippear will promote the advancement of the digital environment connecting the field, back office, and management through the strengthening of its cloud-based business management platform. We will continue to advance function expansion, external service integration, and support systems contributing to DX, work-style reform, and productivity improvement in the construction industry, contributing to the business efficiency and sophisticated management judgment of introduced companies. With this increase, we will build a stronger business foundation and continue to promote long-term value creation together with users and partner companies.
