We hereby announce that we have identified a cyber incident limited to servers belonging to our consolidated subsidiary, Sakata Seed Sudamerica LTDA. in Brazil. We are actively investigating the incident, and currently recognize that there is no direct relationship between the unauthorized access to our company that occurred last November and the current incident because of differences in intrusion pathways.

On June 27, 2026, we detected unauthorized access to Sakata Seed Sudamerica LTDA.'s servers, and following our subsequent investigation, we recently determined that some information may have been accessed or taken by an unauthorized party.

We are actively working with an external security specialist firm to analyze the situation and investigate the route and signs of unauthorized access.
At this time, no damage leading to business suspension has been confirmed, and there has been no significant impact on normal operations. Furthermore, no impact on our company or other domestic and international group companies has been confirmed.

We would like to extend our sincere apologies to our customers, business partners, and all other stakeholders for any concern and inconvenience caused by this incident. We will continue to take appropriate actions and will promptly disclose any matters that should be announced as they arise.
