Following due diligence, the Tender Offeror submitted an initial price proposal on April 1, 2026. A cash consideration valued at ¥1200 per share will be paid by Akatsuki Inc. The price per Share Acquisition Right was stated as under consideration. The Special Committee of the SUNNY SIDE UP GROUP Inc. requested a revised price on April 6, 2026, stating the initial price did not fully reflect the intrinsic value of shares or fairly distribute the expected value creation to general shareholders. On April 9, 2026, the Tender Offeror submitted a second proposal at ¥1260 per share. This was rejected on April 10, 2026, as insufficient. A third proposal of ¥1290 was submitted on April 14, 2026, alongside a response that specific synergy estimates were difficult to reasonably calculate at that time; this was also rejected on April 17, 2026. A fourth proposal was submitted on April 21, 2026, ¥1295 per share and ¥63,400 per Right (calculated as (¥1,295 - ¥661) x 100). This was rejected on April 22, 2026. On April 24, 2026, the Tender Offeror reiterated the ¥1,295 offer as the fifth proposal, considering it maximally considerate of minority shareholders; this was rejected on April 28, 2026. On May 1, 2026, and May 6, 2026, the Tender Offeror explained its position to the Special Committee, including that its proposal exceeded the Target's historical high closing price of ¥1,276. On May 7, 2026, a sixth proposal was submitted at ¥1,320 per share and ¥65,900 per Right. This was rejected on the same day, leading to a final proposal at the same prices, re-submitted on May 7, 2026, as the final proposal.

The Subject Shareholders were approached for the Application/Non-Application Agreement and Basic Agreement on April 25, 2026, and agreements were entered into on May 13, 2026. No price negotiations took place with the Committing Shareholders. The Tender Offeror decided on a final Tender Offer Price of ¥1,320 on May 13, 2026. The share Acquisition Rights price was decided as the difference between the Tender Offer Price (¥1,320) and the exercise price per target share (¥661), multiplied by 100. Thus, the price per Right is ¥65,900. No third-party valuation was obtained for the Rights. No purchase will be made if the total tendered is below the minimum tender of 5,551,400 shares.
