UBE Corporation Announces Restructuring of Domestic Production System in Cement-Related Business UBE Cement Corporation announced that, at the Board of Directors meeting, MUCC resolved to cease cement production at Kyushu Plant Kanda District 2 by around the end of March 2027 and to transform the district into a recycling promotion base specializing in various types of waste treatment, as described below. The business environment for the cement industry continues to face pressures from declining domestic demand and reduced profitability in export markets. Against this backdrop, MUCC is advancing initiatives to strengthen profitability and improve asset efficiency, aiming to achieve sustainable growth and enhance corporate value over the medium to long term. Meanwhile, as MUCC seeks to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, a key effort is to improve its thermal energy substitution rate. In particular, MUCC considers it essential to expand the volume of waste treatment for thermal recycling at the Kyushu Plant, which has one of the leading cement production capacities in Japan, and to achieve a thermal energy substitution rate of 50% or more for MUCC as a whole. Under these circumstances, in order to establish an optimal operation system and strengthen the competitiveness of its cement business, MUCC will cease cement production at Kyushu Plant Kanda District 2 by around the end of March 2027 and consolidate operations at Kyushu Plant Kanda District 1, thereby improving the efficiency of production facilities across the entire Kyushu Plant. In addition, to maximize the use of its technologies and further improve the waste treatment substitution rate, MUCC will develop Kyushu Plant Kanda District 2 as a recycling promotion base, utilizing existing facilities for crushing and packing waste plastics and removing chlorine and foreign materials. MUCC will steadily execute these measures to further enhance corporate value and help build a sustainable society. Aankondiging • Apr 02

UBE Corporation Revises Earnings Forecast for the First Half of Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2025 UBE Corporation revised earnings forecast for the First Half of fiscal year ending March 31, 2025. For the period,the company expected net sales of JPY 243,000 Million operating profit of JPY 6,000 Million and profit attributable to owners of parent of JPY 300 million or JPY 3.09 per basic share as compared to previous guidance of net sales of JPY 238,000 Million operating profit of JPY 7,500 Million and profit attributable to owners of parent of JPY 8,000 million or JPY 82.41 per basic share. Reasons for the Revision: Net sales are expected to exceed the previous forecast due to an increase in the selling price of elastomers as a result of rising raw material prices, despite sluggish sales of certain products in the Specialty Products Segment. Operating profit is projected to be lower than the previous forecast due to the impact of the lower of cost or market method on caprolactam, nylon polymers, and other products, in the Polymers & Chemicals Segment. Ordinary profit and profit attributable to owners of parent are expected to be significantly lower than previously forecast due to the posting of a share of loss of entities accounted for using equity method following the dissolution of LOTTE UBE SYNTHETIC RUBBER SDN. BHD., an equity method affiliate. Buy Or Sell Opportunity • Sep 27

Santen Inc. and UBE Corporation Receives FDA Approval for OMLONTI(R) (Omidenepag Isopropyl Ophthalmic Solution) 0.002% for the Reduction of Elevated Intraocular Pressure in Patients with Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma or Ocular Hypertension Santen Inc. and UBE Corporation (UBE) announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved OMLONTI (omidenepag isopropyl ophthalmic solution) 0.002% eye drops for the reduction of elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. The approval date was September 22. OMLONTI is developed jointly by Santen and UBE. Omidenepag isopropyl, the active pharmaceutical ingredient in OMLONTI, developed by UBE, is a relatively selective prostaglandin EP2 receptor agonist, which increases aqueous humor drainage through the conventional (or trabecular) and uveoscleral outflow pathways, and the only product with this pharmacological action. OMLONTI was launched in Japan as Eybelis ophthalmic solution 0.002% in November 2018, and was filed for marketing approval in Asian countries in stages. The product was released in five countries and regions beginning in February 2021. OMLONTI was evaluated in three randomized and controlled clinical trials in subjects with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension with average baseline IOP of 24-26 mm Hg. The double-masked treatment duration was three months in all three studies. The third study included a 9-month open-label treatment period following the 3-month double-masked treatment period. In the three studies, IOP reductions were observed for all treatment arms. In the OMLONTI arm, the reduction in IOP ranged from 5-7 mm Hg across all three studies. The corresponding reductions for the timolol and latanoprost arms were 5-7 mm Hg and 6-8 mm Hg, respectively. Glaucoma causes damage to the optic nerve resulting in visual field loss, and remains a leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. 2 Since the disease is generally progressive, early detection and treatment to control the progression are crucial, and lowering IOP is the most effective means of avoiding damage to the optic nerve. The estimated number of patients globally in 2020 was 76 million, and it is expected to increase to 95 million by 2030. 3 Primary open-angle glaucoma is the most common type of glaucoma. Ocular hypertension, which affects millions, can lead to glaucoma and vision loss if untreated. Upcoming Dividend • Sep 22
