NS Solutions Corporation at its 46th Annual General Meeting of Shareholders held on June 19, 2026, approved amendments to the Articles of Incorporation. Proposal No. 2 is to add a provision to the Articles of Incorporation stipulating that NSSOL shall not make deposits with its parent company, subsidiaries, or affiliates, and that if any such deposits are made in violation of this provision, they shall be promptly recovered. Proposal No. 3 is a proposal to add to the Articles of Incorporation a provision that the following matters shall be disclosed by appropriate means: the average interest rate on the deposits in the most recent fiscal year and other transaction terms; the reasons for judging the transaction terms set out in the preceding item to be reasonable in light of the relationship between the cost of capital and the return on the deposits, together with the criteria or benchmarks used in making that judgment; whether there are any policies or criteria for reviewing or terminating deposits, and the details thereof. The reasons for submitting the above shareholder proposals at the General Meeting can be summarized in the following three points. NSSOL’s deposits with the Parent Company give rise to a conflict of interest with the minority shareholders and are impairing NSSOL’s corporate value. Although NSSOL raises no funds through borrowing or the like, it holds cash and deposits of as much as JPY 110 billion, equivalent to approximately 40% of its net assets, and places approximately 90% of that amount as deposits with the Parent Company. The interest rate on these deposits is only 0.5%, so that while the Parent Company secures funding at a level below its external funding cost (0.6% to 3.6%), NSSOL is forced to deploy these funds at a yield far below its own cost of capital (6% to 8%). With respect to the matter of these deposits, NSSOL has not conducted verification or explanation sufficient for the minority shareholders to conclude that the deposits contribute to enhancing NSSOL’s corporate value. The yardstick is inappropriate: From the standpoint of corporate value, the reasonableness of the deposits should be tested by whether they generate a return exceeding the cost of capital, yet NSSOL has consistently done no more than repeat explanations based on a comparison with market interest rates. There is no basis for the level of cash and deposits: NSSOL justifies its on-hand liquidity of approximately JPY 90 billion solely as “2.4 months of monthly sales, in line with peers,” without showing the basis for that calculation, and since a peer average does not indicate the level required by NSSOL specifically, neither the appropriateness of the JPY 90 billion nor the rationale for funding it solely with shareholders’ equity has been explained. The explanation for the reduction in deposits does not reflect reality: NSSOL states that, based on the decrease in deposits from the fiscal year ended March 2025 to the fiscal year ended March 2026, the deposits are not fixed in place; however, that decrease is no more than a temporary factor arising from the application of the gain on the sale of Recruit shares to the acquisition of Infocom, and a comparison between the average for the fiscal years ended March 2022 through March 2024 (approximately JPY 93.8 billion) and the balance for the fiscal year ended March 2026 (JPY 94.4 billion) shows that the recurring level has remained essentially flat. Even through its dialogue with 3D, NSSOL has not taken any substantive action toward resolving the matter of these deposits.

On June 23, 2026, NS Solutions Corporation announced that it held its annual general meeting of shareholders on June 19, 2026, and declared voting results. Accordingly, the shareholder proposals: Partial Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation (Prohibition of Deposits to Parent Companies, etc.) and Partial Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation (Disclosure Regarding Contributions of Funds to Parent Companies, etc.) were rejected.

In addition, 3D Investment Partners stating that the Company large cash reserves, a significant portion of which has been deposited with its parent company for over 20 years, these deposits earn ~0.5% interest, far below Company’s cost of capital (~6–8%), which reduces corporate value, meanwhile, the parent company benefits by borrowing cheaply from the Company.

On May 11, 2026, NS Solutions Corporation. announced that its Board of Directors had received a written shareholder proposal from 3D WH OPPORTUNITY MASTER OFC - 3D WH OPPORTUNITY HOLDINGS regarding agenda items for the 46th Annual General Shareholders’ Meeting scheduled for June 2026. The shareholder proposal included two items: (1) Partial Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation (Prohibition of Deposits to Parent Company, etc.), and (2) Partial Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation (Disclosure Regarding Fund Contributions to Parent Company, etc.). The Board of Directors resolved to oppose both proposals, citing that the company’s cash allocation policy is designed to enhance corporate value through growth investments, and that temporary deposits to the parent company via the CMS are flexible, safe, and offer favorable conditions compared to market rates. The Board argued that prohibiting CMS usage would harm corporate value and shareholder interests, and that stipulating CMS usage or disclosure methods in the Articles of Incorporation would restrict flexible business execution and management decisions. The Board also emphasized that all related party transactions, including CMS usage, are deliberated by a committee of independent outside directors to ensure no harm to shareholder interests. The Board concluded that the proposals are based on assumptions that do not reflect actual CMS usage and would not contribute to improved capital efficiency or appropriate fund allocation. Therefore, Nippon Steel Solutions Co., Ltd. opposes the shareholder proposals submitted by 3D WH OPPORTUNITY MASTER OFC - 3D WH OPPORTUNITY HOLDINGS.
