Towards the Japan Awakening Platform: TRIiS Inc.'s New Challenge Begins.

Japan can become prosperous once again. We have the right and obligation to be prosperous. ...With this in mind, I have walked with the resolve to become the foundation for Japan's awakening. I will not disclose my career here. However, there is one thing I can say for certain. That is, my life has been one of 'abandoning the comfort of riding a wave the moment I finally caught it, and challenging the next rough wave, acting without regard for danger.' Until now, as a management scholar, an investor, and the president of a listed company, I have accumulated experience, all for the day when Japan would become prosperous again. And now, I am undertaking a challenge that can be called the culmination of all my efforts. This challenge, if it fails, will mean losing everything I have gained in my life (status, honor, and wealth). That is precisely why I believe I can fulfill the responsibility of execution, even if it involves pain. Our company will now advocate for the 'Japan Awakening Platform.' We aim to become a unique entity, like a comprehensive developer in the capital market. Specifically, to break through the constraints hindering the growth of companies with good performance but low PBR and market capitalization, our company itself will become a platform entrusted with the voting rights and information of other companies by our shareholders, and we will realize value creation across the entire platform using management technology and AI technology. A company is an entity that 'holds' many things. It holds funds from shareholders, trust from customers, and the lives of employees. As humans, we must always return what we have been entrusted with. Our mission is to grow into a trustworthy company that makes people think, 'I want to entrust more funds, more trust, more of my life.' I would like to express my gratitude once again to everyone who has read my thoughts. March 30, 2026 Shunsuke Iwao TRIiS Inc. President and CEO Shunsuke Iwao
