The update marks the long-awaited debut of ?5 [Sky-Piercing Bolt] Gen Narumi in a custom CLOZER suit. Players can earn up to 1,500 Dimensional Crystals through the New Chapter Event while playing through a story that puts the First Division's pride to the test. Main Story Chapter 12: X-OVER is now available. The update introduces the final battle against humanity's greatest threat—Dimensional Identified Kaiju A—looming on the horizon. CLOZER proposes a large-scale expedition to concentrate global defense forces in New York. The plan hits a sudden roadblock when the operation's prime asset, First Division Captain Gen Narumi, refuses to take part. Stung by their own lack of power, Rin Shinonome and the rest of the First Division vow to defend the nation without their strongest captain. As Shinonome searches for a way to bridge the gap, the genius scientist Suited offers a solution: the X-OVER Suit, a new model still in development. With the First Division's pride on the line against an overwhelming foe, the stage is set for a shocking turn of events. Players can progress through Main Story Chapter 12 and challenge the score battles to earn rewards up to 1,500 Dimensional Crystals. ?5 [Sky-Piercing Bolt] Gen Narumi joins the battle in this update. Narumi takes the field in a custom-calibrated CLOZER suit. Developed alongside it is D-Numbers Weapon 1, which, like Rt-0001, takes the form of contact lenses. The lenses amplify the electrical signals running through his body, which he then discharges through his gauntlet. [Sky-Piercing Bolt] Gen Narumi (Optimal weapon type: Gunsword).

New minor risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of German stocks, typically moving 6.7% a week. This is considered a minor risk. Share price volatility indicates the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. It also increases the risk of potential losses in the short term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (6.7% average weekly change). Large one-off items impacting financial results. Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (25% increase in shares outstanding). Declared Dividend • Jul 11

New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 3.4% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Dividend is not well covered by earnings and cash flows. Paying a dividend despite being loss-making. Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Minor Risks Large one-off items impacting financial results. Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (3.4% increase in shares outstanding). Aankondiging • May 11
