New major risk - Dividend sustainability The dividend is not well covered by earnings and cash flows. Dividend per share is over 18x earnings per share. The company is paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Dividend yield: 3.6% This is considered a major risk. Companies that pay out too much of their earnings and cash flows are at risk of having to reduce or cut their dividend in future. If earnings or cash flows stagnate or fall, then there may not be enough to maintain the same dividend. Or in extreme cases, companies may opt to dig into capital reserves or take on debt to maintain the dividend. For dividend paying companies, any reduction in the dividend can significantly impact the share price. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Dividend is not well covered by earnings and cash flows. Dividend per share is over 18x earnings per share. Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Minor Risk Market cap is less than US$100m (JP¥4.97b market cap, or US$33.4m). Reported Earnings • Mar 14

Artiza Networks, Inc. to Develop Intel(R) Agilex Fpga-Based Smartnics for COTS Servers Artiza Networks, Inc. announced that it has started development of a SmartNIC, based on the Intel SmartNIC N6000-PL platform featuring Agilex FPGA, that plugs into PCIe slots in COTS servers. The platform supports Intel® Open FPGA Stack put forward by Intel. As 5G and Beyond 5G technologies demand higher speeds and capacities, higher processing performance is also required for wireless base station equipment. Until recently, radio access network equipment has been based on dedicated hardware and software developed exclusively for RAN applications. However, technological innovation in the IT field, especially in data centers, has progressed remarkably, and virtualization technology that improves hardware performance and separates hardware and software has become widely available. In the telecommunications industry, vRAN (virtual Radio Access Network), which incorporates this virtualization technology into the RAN, has attracted a great deal of attention. vRAN is a method for executing wireless baseband processing via software. One of the main advantages of virtualizing RAN is that allows RAN functions to be executed on a general-purpose server (COTS server) without the need for dedicated hardware. The O-RAN alliance, which Artiza Networks is a member of, is currently studying the opening and standardization of RAN interface technology specifications. Artiza believes that the virtualization of RANs and the opening of RAN technology interfaces will continue to progress and have a dramatic impact on the wireless base station equipment industry, which has conventionally consisted of proprietary hardware and software. Against this backdrop, they have initiated the development of a product (codenamed Griffin) based on the Intel® FPGA SmartNIC N6000-PL platform to accelerate the advancement of vRAN and O- RAN technologies. Griffin is a high-performance, FPGA-based hardware accelerator that accelerates FEC and channel coding workloads (L1 processing) running on the CPU in 5G/4G vRAN, which are essential for wireless base stations. It is equipped with high-precision time synchronization using IEEE 1588 PTP and clock synchronization using SyncE. It also supports O-RAN LLS-C1, C2, C3 configurations. The card integrates FH connectivity, FEC acceleration, timing and clock synchronization saving PCIe server slots. It also supports Virtual Cell Site Router, 5G User Plane Function offload. This product supports Intel OFS. Intel Open FPGA Stack (Intel OFS) is an efficient, scalable, source-accessible hardware and software infrastructure that addresses the challenges associated with designing FPGA-based acceleration platform solutions in Intel Xeon processor-based servers. Intel OFS eases workload development by providing a reference infrastructure and UVM verification environment with all the necessary components that they may choose to modify or leverage as-is. They intend to market the Griffin product both domestically and internationally to network operators, network equipment manufacturers, and the 5G enterprise market, where demand is expected to increase. The expected impact of the above on their business performance for the current fiscal year is currently negligible. Artiza is currently examining the impact on its business performance for the next fiscal year and beyond and will promptly announce any matters that should be publicly announced. Duyuru • Aug 04
