KH Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Kei Horiguchi; hereinafter 'KH') is pleased to announce that it has acquired the business related to high-design rental garage houses 'inCELL' and luxury rental garage houses 'Garesidence' developed by Infist Design Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Kodaira-shi, Tokyo; Representative Director: Tsutomu Suda; hereinafter 'Infist Design').
Through this acquisition, KH will integrate its real estate development capabilities with Infist Design's 13 years of specialized expertise, which has garnered support from automobile dealers and high-net-worth individuals. The company will accelerate the nationwide expansion of existing businesses and establish a framework for creating 'Parking Lounge,' a new business aimed at solving challenges faced by supercar owners.
### Background of the Business Acquisition
1. Entity and Target of Acquisition
2. Purpose and Significance of the Business Acquisition
### Industry Needs and the Value of Infist Design
In recent years, against the backdrop of diversifying lifestyles and increasing interest in high-value-added real estate (e.g., garage houses and dedicated facilities for collectors), there has been a growing need for integrated storage and experience services for supercar and rare car owners. For these owners, ensuring a safe storage environment with temperature/humidity control and advanced security, as well as enriching the 'time spent enjoying the car'—the 'experience value'—has become an important lifestyle theme.
While existing garages and general garage houses often fail to meet these evolving expectations, Infist Design has led the garage house market for 13 years, earning absolute trust from car dealers and wealthy clients.
### Purpose and Significance
This business acquisition aims to grow the business on a national scale by merging KH's 'development/capital power' and 'advanced IT technology' with the 'design/specialized know-how' inherited from Infist Design, creating new value by treating real estate as a 'service.'
### Future Outlook
#### Development of the 'inCELL' Business
In the 'inCELL' business promoted by KH, a new model will be deployed where property sites are selected based on user stories derived from customer needs, and high-definition perspectives (renderings) are presented in advance according to those stories.
Additionally, by utilizing AI technology, simulations of interior design and spatial configurations can be performed rapidly, achieving a high degree of customization that can respond precisely to each individual customer's needs.
Furthermore, even after move-in, efforts will be promoted to provide real estate not just as a product but as an experience, including support for circuit use and the operation of user communities.
#### Toward Building Next-Generation Car Life Infrastructure
Moving forward, KH will combine the strengths of both companies to fully launch the 'Parking Lounge' concept, Japan's first initiative to evolve the garage—previously centered on storage functions—into a 'sophisticated social space to spend time with your beloved car.'
In promoting this concept, the establishment of a new operating company, 'Parking Lounge Co., Ltd. (tentative),' is planned. It will provide solutions to challenges faced by many owners, such as 'lack of appropriate storage locations in urban areas,' 'lack of advanced security environments,' and 'lack of places where life can be celebrated through their cars.'

### Representative Comment
**Kei Horiguchi, Representative Director of KH Co., Ltd.**
'While engaging with the environment surrounding supercars, I have felt the challenge that environments where one can safely leave their beloved cars are not yet sufficient. Also, through my involvement in motorsports, I strongly recognize the importance of the value of experience—the environment, time, and services surrounding the car itself.
