The press conference, titled "SBI Neo Media Ecosystem Strategy Concept ~On the Integration of Media, IT, and Finance Realized by the SBI Group~", was held by SBIHD and SBI Neo Media Holdings Co., Ltd. (hereinafter, "SBI Neo Media HD") at the 22nd-floor seminar room of Izumi Garden Tower in Minato-ku, Tokyo. In attendance were Mr. Yoshitaka Kitao, Representative Director, Chairman and President of SBIHD, Mr. Yasushi Akimoto, Senior Advisor of SBI Neo Media HD, Mr. Yutaka Fukazawa, Representative Director and President of the same company, Mr. Takami Kondo, Representative Director and Vice Chairman of the same company, and Mr. Iwamoto, Representative Director and President of our company, along with nine other representatives of companies involved in the SBI Neo Media Ecosystem.

Mr. Iwamoto of our company explained the business model of Accel Japan, an electronic media platform that develops talent IP business. He announced the Company's contributions to regional revitalization through the travel e-magazine "Tabiiro," which has tied up with over 300 local governments, promotion support for small and medium-sized enterprises nationwide through Accel Japan, and 20 years of experience in talent content business, having engaged over 420 actors and talents.

He concluded by stating, "We will maximize the extensive achievements cultivated through our business to date, strengthen cooperation with local governments and regional companies, and contribute as a key asset in building the SBI Neo Media Ecosystem, thereby contributing to the realization of regional revitalization."

Other Press Conference Overview

At the beginning of the press conference, Mr. Yoshitaka Kitao spoke about the background and social significance of the SBI Group's media business. Mr. Yutaka Fukazawa outlined the concept of the SBI Neo Media Ecosystem, including media portals, aimed at expanding the customer base. Mr. Takami Kondo discussed the concept of attracting "Sphere," an innovative and popular spherical arena facility in Las Vegas, USA, to Odaiba, Tokyo, as a new entertainment facility where world-class domestic content can be experienced in three dimensions.

Furthermore, a dialogue titled "Japanese Entertainment to the World: What is Needed Now?" was held between Mr. Yasushi Akimoto and Mr. Kenji Yajima, Director of SBI Neo Media. Mr. Akimoto stated, "Content that has developed uniquely in Japan has struggled to go global due to language differences. 'Sphere' might become a trigger for Japan to venture out. I think it's difficult without some kind of catalyst. I find the SBI Group's communication in entertainment wonderful. Until now, entertainment has been weakest in the financial sector, but I believe they will create a relationship where finance and entertainment are closely intertwined, similar to the United States." He expressed his expectations for Japanese entertainment and the SBI Neo Media Ecosystem.

The content announced today is an interim report on the strategic concept, and the overall vision for the SBI Neo Media Ecosystem is scheduled to be explained again by Mr. Yoshitaka Kitao at a press conference planned for May 19, 2026.

The Company and NEXYZ. Group will continue to work on creating new media value, contributing to the realization of regional revitalization, and expanding business opportunities through collaboration with the SBI Group.
