1. Reason for the share transfer
ORIX Living is engaged in the development and operation of the GOOD TIME LIVING of private nursing home and the Platesia of private residential senior home.

Daiwa Securities Group, whose holding company is Daiwa Securities Group Inc., was established in 1902. It is a general securities group whose core business is securities. In recent years, Daiwa Securities Group has established a structure suited to the needs of an aging society.
