3. INTRODUCTION © MOON-X Inc. Throughout my career, I have witnessed the power that brands and products hold in enriching our lives, and I have experienced the dramatic expansion of e-commerce, which has underpinned their growing popularity. The world is also home to countless companies that continue to make excellent products, for which I am convinced hold the potential to expand globally through the power of digital technology. MOON-X was founded to bring these kinds of ideas that I have learned, together with the power of technology and the wonder of manufacturing, to introduce amazing brands and products to the world. As a brand portfolio company that possesses multiple beloved brands, I believe that MOON-X's raison d'etre is the sum total of the abundant lifestyles that these brands create. I also value the idea of nurturing the next-generation of leaders in the hope that the people I have met here will grow beyond me to drive Japan and the world forward. I have pride in my colleagues, and I intend to devote my energy to helping them, as well as those who will join us in the future, make great strides. What started as an endeavor in a room of a friend's house has grown into a home for a diverse range of talent and passion. Yet our challenge has only just begun. We will always continue to make great strides that reach as high as the moon. Founding Belief Representative Director / CEO Shin Hasegawa 01

8. About MOON-X What is Co-creation M&A? Working together as 'ONE Team,' we combine the strengths and experience of our brands and employees with MOON-X's specialized personnel and management resources. Mergers & Acquisitions (‘M&A’) is often associated with management reforms that risk losing the essence of what made the business successful, such as its people or culture. MOON-X’s Co-creation M&A differs by emphasizing growth through a shared vision and deep respect for each brand’s beliefs. There are brands and products around the world with untapped potential that have yet to be discovered due to a lack of business expertise or a succession plan. MOON-X taps into the potential of these valuable brands to co-create their future. © MOON-X Inc. 07

12. Challenging Growth and Potential Together with Our Brands
13. Launchpad for Brands © MOON-X Inc. 12 Today's consumer market continues to grow at an unprecedented pace. Notably, the Japanese e-commerce market has doubled in the past decade, surpassing 26.1 trillion yen in 2024. Yet, with an adoption rate of 14.2%, much lower than China's 50.1%, it shows potential for sustained high growth. MOON-X will continue to build on our success online, while also pursuing the vast 90% of the consumer market that remains offline. We are embracing new growth opportunities, such as the renewed interest in brick-and-mortar experiences after COVID-19, and omnichannel strategies with integrated online and offline approaches. Beyond Japan, the continued rapid growth of e-commerce across Asia, the United States, and Europe presents a clear and exciting opportunity for us to launch our brands into new overseas markets.
