【Co-creating the Future of Sports】LEIFRAS Collaborates with Japan Sport Association (JSPO). Official Partner Agreement Signed to Realize "Sports, Towards the Desired Future."

LEIFRAS CO.,LTD. (Nasdaq: LFS, Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, CEO: Kiyotaka Ito), which operates sports schools for children and supports the regional expansion of club activities, has signed an agreement to become an official partner from April 2026 in the "Sports Active Partner Program" organized by the Japan Sport Association (JSPO), a public interest incorporated foundation that oversees the Japanese sports world. Through this collaboration, our company will combine JSPO's nationwide network with our on-site expertise to promote the construction of next-generation infrastructure that delivers "high-quality sports environments" to children and sports instructors across Japan.

**1. Why Collaborate with JSPO Now? (Complete Resonance of Background and Philosophy)** Currently, the Japanese sports environment is facing an unprecedented turning point due to factors such as the declining birthrate, the regional transfer of club activities, and a shortage of instructors. To solve these social issues, the power of private companies that actually promote sports on the ground is indispensable, in addition to the power of the government and administration. JSPO is a non-profit private organization in the Japanese sports world that oversees sports clubs for children with approximately 650,000 registered members and the National Sports Festival (Koku-Spo) with approximately 30,000 participating athletes. JSPO's corporate message, "Sports, Towards the Desired Future," and our company's corporate philosophy, "Transforming and Designing Sports," are in complete alignment. This agreement was reached not merely as financial support (sponsorship), but as a partnership aimed at solving social issues together.

**2. Synergy and Specific Initiatives through Collaboration: Transformation from the Field (Bottom-up)** As an official partner, our company will support JSPO's activities and acquire the right to purchase "selective programs" that allow direct access to participants in JSPO-sponsored projects. This will enable us to apply our on-site expertise in the area of selective programs, directly contributing to solving issues in the sports world.

**3. Future Outlook: Accelerating Social Business on a National Scale** Through this collaboration, our company will further enhance its brand power with local governments and educational institutions nationwide, backed by JSPO's strong network and social credibility. We will powerfully accelerate social businesses, including the "Club Activity Support Project" and "Sports School Project," which are currently being promoted, and contribute to society as a platformer that transforms the entire Japanese sports environment into a sustainable and rich one.
