Q.
What is the origin of your name?
-
A.Close
Our name consists of two components: “Kyoritsu” and “Maintenance.” Both of these components are based on the sentiments of our founder, Haruhisa Ishizuka. “Kyoritsu” represents our ability to establish a secure existence in the world by standing together with our customers, society, and all of those who offer their support. “Maintenance” usually conjures images of managerial maintenance but the “maintenance” in our name primarily represents the maintenance of livelihoods and refers to Mr. Ishizuka’s resolution to achieve financial success through our original student dormitory business.

Furthermore, the circular design of our logo expresses Kyoritsu Maintenance’s infinite future development and expansion.

The population of 18-year-olds is undeniably shrinking.

Q.
What should be done about fractional shares amounting to less than one trading unit (less than 100 shares)?
-
A.Close
Our share trading unit is equal to 100 shares. According to policy, shareholders holding fractional shares (less than the trading unit of 100 shares) will not be able to sell these shares through the stock market or exercise their voting rights during general shareholders’ meetings.
To alleviate the disadvantage these restrictions place on our shareholders, we have implemented systems that allow our shareholders to request that these shares be bought back or to apply for permission to convert them into a whole trading unit by purchasing more shares.
■Outline of system allowing for the sellback or additional purchase of fractional shares
◎Sellback system: Allows shareholders to request that the Company buy back their fractional shares
(Example) A shareholder holds 120 shares and sells 20 of them back to the Company at their market price
◎Fractional share completion system: Allows shareholders to request that the Company provide permission to purchase the number of shares necessary to complete a single trading unit (equal to 100 shares)
(Example) A shareholder holds 120 shares and purchases 80 at the current market price, reaching 200 shares (two trading units)
■Procedures
Please be aware that point of contact for procedures differs depending on the account to which fractional shares are registered.
◎Fractional shares registered to securities company accounts
Please contact the relevant securities company (the institution managing the account) for all inquiries, including questions regarding handling charges
◎Fractional shares registered to special accounts
Please contact Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking Corporation (the institution managing special accounts and the shareholder registry administrator)
* Special accounts are accounts set up by the Company in the names of shareholders who were not using the storage transfer system offered by Japan Securities Depository Center, Inc., at the time the Company implemented a paperless stock transfer system (e.g., shareholders storing share certificates at home or in safe-deposit boxes, shareholders holding fractional shares for which certificates have not been issued, etc.). The accounts were established to protect and ensure the rights of these shareholders.

◎Notes
（1）Sellback or additional share purchase prices are equivalent to the Tokyo Stock Exchange closing price of a single Company share on the day the request was received by the offices of the Company’s shareholder registry administrator multiplied by the number of shares to be sold or purchased.
（2）Requests to sell fractional shares back to the Company or to acquire additional shares cannot be cancelled.
（3）Processing of requests is suspended during certain periods, including immediately before the record date of the fiscal term, etc.
（4）Even if fractional shares are converted to whole trading units through our fractional share completion system, they cannot be sold on the market when registered to special accounts. Instead, they must be transferred to a securities company account.
