DIGITALIO, Inc. (Minato-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director: Atsushi Ando, hereinafter 'DIGITALIO') announces that effective April 10, 2026, its shares will be transferred from CARTA HOLDINGS, Inc. (hereinafter 'CARTA HD') to Cross Marketing Group Inc. (listed on the TSE Prime Market, hereinafter 'Cross Marketing Group'), thereby becoming a member of the said group.
## Background and Objectives
Under the mission of 'creating and providing services centered on digital technology to propel society forward,' DIGITALIO has been developing a media business (such as EC Navi, PeX, conio) with approximately 12 million members, and a digital gift business (Digico). Possessing diverse consumer touchpoints including EC services, information services, gifts, and points, we provide platforms that connect people, information, and services under the theme of 'connecting.'
Recently, in conjunction with the reorganization of the business portfolio at CARTA HD, it was decided that DIGITALIO will walk alongside Cross Marketing Group Inc., which has a top-class track record in Japan in the fields of marketing research and digital marketing, as the optimal management environment for DIGITALIO to further demonstrate its unique market value.
We determined that by combining DIGITALIO's rich consumer touchpoints, point infrastructure, and digital gift base with Cross Marketing Group's expertise in research and data utilization, extensive customer base, client relationships, and campaign support know-how, we can further expand the scope of BtoB support and service development based on consumer insights.
Moving forward, under a more autonomous decision-making and investment environment within the umbrella of the Cross Marketing Group, we will maximize the potential of each business and further accelerate value provision for both users and clients.
