(the \u201cTender Offeror\u201d) has resolved to acquire shares of common stock of Waqoo, Inc. (Securities Code: 4937, listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Growth Market; the \u201cTarget Company\u201d) through a tender offer (the \u201cTender Offer\u201d) pursuant to the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act of Japan (Act No. 25 of 1948, as amended; the \u201cFIEA\u201d), as described below.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe Tender Offeror is a Japanese subsidiary ultimately owned by SBC Medical Group Holdings Incorporated (\u201cSBCHD\u201d), a U.S. corporation listed on NASDAQ and engaged in management support services for medical clinics both domestically and internationally. As of today, the Tender Offeror holds 353,600 shares of the Target Company\u2019s common stock (ownership ratio: 9.49%). SBCHD itself does not directly hold any shares of the Target Company; however, Yoshiyuki Aikawa, Chairman and CEO of SBCHD and a Director of the Tender Offeror (the \u201cSelling Shareholder\u201d), is the largest shareholder of the Target Company, holding 989,802 shares (ownership ratio: 26.58%). Therefore, the Selling Shareholder is deemed a \u201cclosely related person\u201d and a \u201cperson acting in concert\u201d with the Tender Offeror, and accordingly, the Tender Offeror is categorized as an \u201cother affiliated company\u201d of the Target Company under the applicable Japanese accounting regulations.<\/p>\n<p>\nOn November 13, 2025, the Tender Offeror decided to (i) acquire all of the Target Company shares held by the Selling Shareholder (the \u201cTransfer Shares\u201d) through a private, off-market transaction (the \u201cShare Transfer\u201d) and (ii) conduct the Tender Offer. Collectively, the Share Transfer and the Tender Offer are referred to as the \u201cTransaction.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nIn connection with the Share Transfer, the Tender Offeror and the Selling Shareholder entered into a Share Transfer Agreement dated November 13, 2025, under which they agreed that the Selling Shareholder shall not tender any of the Transfer Shares in the Tender Offer and shall instead transfer all of such shares to the Tender Offeror pursuant to the Share Transfer Agreement.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe Share Transfer will be executed on December 19, 2025 (the scheduled commencement date of settlement for the Tender Offer), subject to the completion and settlement of the Tender Offer. As the Selling Shareholder and the Tender Offeror have been in a continuous \u201cformal special relationship\u201d under Article 27-2, Paragraph 7, Item 1 of the FIEA for over one year prior to the date of the Share Transfer Agreement, the Share Transfer qualifies as an \u201cExempted Purchase\u201d under Article 27-2, Paragraph 1, proviso of the FIEA, and therefore does not require the implementation of a separate tender offer.<\/p>\n<p>\nUnder the Share Transfer Agreement, the transfer price per share (the \u201cTransfer Price\u201d) has been agreed at JPY 1,445 per share, which is lower than the tender offer price (the \u201cTender Offer Price\u201d) of JPY 1,900 per share. The lower transfer price reflects the nature of the transaction as a related party transaction, in which the Tender Offeror will acquire shares from a director of its ultimate parent company.<\/p>\n<p><b>Strategic Purpose of the Transaction<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nThrough this transaction, SBC aims to further accelerate Waqoo\u2019s research and development initiatives and to integrate its advanced technologies and expertise within the SBC Group. By leveraging Waqoo\u2019s capabilities, the Group intends to enhance its offerings in clinical areas such as AGA and orthopedics, develop new treatment methods and proprietary services, and strengthen overall competitiveness.<\/p>\n<p>\nIn addition, the companies will jointly promote the development and implementation of skincare products informed by clinical insights, establishing a seamless framework from research to commercialization. Waqoo\u2019s processing and research know-how is also expected to serve as a technological foundation for SBCHD\u2019s international operations, supporting joint efforts toward the practical realization of regenerative medicine.<\/p>\n<p><b>Overview of the Tender Offer<\/b><\/p>\n<table cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"bwtablemarginb bwblockalignl bwwidth100\">\n<tr>\n<td class=\"bwpadl0 bwwidth35\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwcellpmargin\"><b>Item<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"bwpadl0 bwwidth65\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwcellpmargin\"><b>Details<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"bwpadl0 bwwidth35\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwcellpmargin\"><b>(1) Name of Target Company<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"bwpadl0 bwwidth65\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwcellpmargin\">\nWaqoo, Inc.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"bwpadl0 bwwidth35\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwcellpmargin\"><b>(2) Type of Shares to be Purchased<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"bwpadl0 bwwidth65\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwcellpmargin\">\nCommon Stock<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"bwpadl0 bwwidth35\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwcellpmargin\"><b>(3) Tender Offer Period<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"bwpadl0 bwwidth65\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwcellpmargin\">\nFrom November 14, 2025 (Friday) to December 12, 2025 (Friday) \u2014 20 business days<br \/>\n<br \/>(If the Target Company requests an extension under Article 27-10, Paragraph 3 of the FIEA, the period will be extended to December 26, 2025 (Friday))<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"bwpadl0 bwwidth35\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwcellpmargin\"><b>(4) Tender Offer Price<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"bwpadl0 bwwidth65\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwcellpmargin\">\nJPY 1,900 per share<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"bwpadl0 bwwidth35\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwcellpmargin\"><b>(5) Number of Shares to Be Purchased<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"bwpadl0 bwwidth65\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwcellpmargin\">\n575,000 shares (upper limit: 575,000 shares; no lower limit)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"bwpadl0 bwwidth35\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwcellpmargin\"><b>(6) Commencement Date of Settlement<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"bwpadl0 bwwidth65\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwcellpmargin\">\nDecember 19, 2025 (Friday)<br \/>\n<br \/>(If the period is extended as above, settlement will commence on January 7, 2026 (Wednesday))<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"bwpadl0 bwwidth35\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwcellpmargin\"><b>(7) Tender Offer Agent<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"bwpadl0 bwwidth65\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwcellpmargin\">\nSBI SECURITIES Co., Ltd., 1-6-1 Roppongi, Minato-ku, Tokyo<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p>\nPlease refer to the Tender Offer Registration Statement to be filed by the Tender Offeror on November 14, 2025, for further details regarding the Tender Offer.<\/p>\n<p><b>Important Notice (Solicitation Regulations)<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nThis press release is a public announcement to disclose the commencement of the Tender Offer and is not intended as a solicitation to sell shares.
