Continuation of Policy Toward Large-Scale Purchases of the Company’s Shares (Takeover Defense Measures)

At the GMO Internet Group, Inc. (“the Company”) Board of Directors meeting held on March 13, 2006, with the unanimous approval of all directors, we introduced a policy concerning the response to Large-Scale Purchases of the Company's shares. Since then, we have continued this policy through resolutions at the first Board of Directors meeting held after our annual General Meeting of Shareholders each year.
The Company’s Board of Directors has thoroughly reviewed the changes in the social and economic situation, the "Guidelines for Corporate Takeovers" announced by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry on August 31, 2023, and recent trends in court decisions.
Furthermore, by listening to the opinions of market participants and others, we are carefully deliberating on the review and continuation of our policy in light of the joint interests of our shareholders and the maintenance and enhancement of our corporate value.
