Leverages Inc. Signs Naming Rights Agreement with Osaka University

Leverages Inc. has signed a naming rights agreement with the National University Corporation Osaka University (Location: Suita City, Osaka Prefecture, President: Atsushi Kumano) for a classroom within the Graduate School of Engineering. Starting April 2026, the designated classroom will operate as "Leverages FLOOR".

## Background of the Agreement
Leverages Inc., under the philosophy of "Pursuit of happiness for all stakeholders," has been developing its business by balancing the growth of each employee with providing value to society. The company operates in fields with significant social issues such as IT, healthcare, and support for young people, and currently has approximately 50 businesses domestically and internationally.

We believe that the driving force for creating the future is "human growth." Supporting an environment where young people who will carry the next era can take on challenges and expand their possibilities is one of the important social roles of a corporation. With this belief, we have empathized with Osaka University's initiatives to promote world-class research and education based on a tradition of free-spirited civic spirit and practical learning, and have thus concluded this naming rights agreement.

Through this agreement, we will support the development of the educational and research environment, and contribute to the creation of new value through collaboration between universities and corporations, as well as the cultivation of human resources who will lead the future.

## Comment from Tomohide Iwatsuki, Representative Director of Leverages Inc.
We believe that individual growth and contribution to others are not contradictory but deeply interconnected. Enhancing one's skills and abilities leads to providing value to more people, and as a result, contributes to the development of society as a whole. Furthermore, acting for the benefit of others and contributing greatly promotes one's own growth.

The driving force for embodying this cycle of growth and contribution and forging the path to the next era is none other than the challenges undertaken by the younger generation. Through this naming rights agreement, we are delighted to contribute in some small way to creating an environment where Osaka University students can forge their future while learning, taking on challenges, and expanding their respective possibilities.

Leverages will continue to tackle the resolution of social issues and the creation of the future, while also supporting the growth of human resources who will lead the next generation.
