◆Background to the Agreement Conclusion Kaizu City promotes community development where all generations can live energetically throughout their lives, under the slogan "Lifelong Prosperity." The city is actively engaged in regional revitalization, including the development of its official fan club "Kaizu Fan" and information dissemination by the mayor himself.

Meanwhile, our company has a mission to "change the world by creating a new fitness culture" and currently operates 264 stores nationwide (as of the end of March 2026), running amusement fitness clubs that are close to the community as "third places." The "FIT-EASY Kaizu Store," which opened in July 2025, is also regularly used by local residents as a place where they can "get healthy while having fun."

In November 2025, a "Comprehensive Partnership Agreement" was concluded, and as cooperation in areas such as health promotion progressed, the necessity to support the community not only in daily life but also in times of emergency increased. Against this background, with the aim of utilizing the functions of fitness facilities in the disaster prevention field and contributing to regional safety and security, the "Agreement on the Provision of Emergency Evacuation Shelters in Times of Disaster" was concluded.

Mayor Yokokawa of Kaizu City and Mr. Nakamori, Executive Vice President of the Company, signing the agreement

◆Comment from Masumi Yokokawa, Mayor of Kaizu City "We are grateful that the FIT-EASY Kaizu Store serves as a hub for many citizens, contributing to the revitalization of the community. With the conclusion of this agreement regarding the provision of evacuation shelters, we are deeply grateful that you will support the safety and security of the community not only in the health sector but also from a disaster prevention perspective. We intend to deepen our collaboration in various fields in the future, leading to further relationship building and regional development."

◆Comment from Yuki Nakamori, Executive Vice President of FIT-EASY Co., Ltd. "We feel that it is extremely significant that this agreement has enabled us to establish a system that can contribute to the community not only for daily health promotion but also in times of emergency. While we have previously undertaken initiatives such as opening facilities during disasters and providing support during water outages in other regions, this is an attempt to formalize such efforts through an agreement with the local government. We will widely disseminate this initiative as a model case, contribute to improving regional disaster prevention capabilities, and continue to work closely with local residents."

Our company will continue to pursue its role not only in "physical and mental health" starting from fitness but also as a "foundation for living" that supports regional safety. We will further deepen our collaboration with Kaizu City and strengthen our system to contribute to the community quickly and flexibly in times of emergency. By leveraging our nationwide network, we will contribute to creating sustainable and disaster-resilient communities that coexist with daily vitality and emergency security.
