Notice of Issuance of Stock Acquisition Rights

HEROZ, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as the "Company") hereby announce that in accordance with the provisions of Articles 236, 238 and 240 of the Companies Act, a resolution has been passed to issue 11th Stock Acquisition Rights to directors, executive officers and employees. This resolution was passed at our Board of Directors meeting held on 10 November 2021. The detail is as follows.

Objectives and Reasons for Issuance of the Stock Acquisition Rights

Objectives of issuing the Stock Acquisition Rights with charge to directors, executive officers, and employees are to further increase motivation and morale, as well as to further enhance our cohesiveness to expand our business performance and increase our corporate value over the medium to long term.

The total number of shares of common stock that would increase if all the Stock Acquisition Rights were exercised would be equivalent to 1.04% of the total number of outstanding shares. However, the Stock Acquisition Rights are subject to the outcome of performance targets set in advance, and we recognize that achieving these targets will contribute to increasing corporate and shareholder value. For this reason, we believe that the issuance of the Stock Acquisition Rights will contribute to the benefit of our existing shareholders. Additionally, we believe that the effect of stock dilution due to the issuance will fall within an acceptable range.
