LEIFRAS Co., Ltd. Hosts Official Closing Ceremony with SWIFT JAPAN Co., Ltd.

LEIFRAS Co., Ltd. (Nasdaq: LFS ) (the "Company" or "Leifras"), a sports and social business company dedicated to youth sports and community engagement and Japan's leading operator of children's sports schools and school club activity support businesses, today announced that, as part of its full-scale entry into the childcare business, it completed the acquisition of SWIFT JAPAN Co., Ltd., which operates childcare and after-school facilities within Aichi Prefecture, on July 1, 2026, pursuant to the Stock Transfer Agreement entered into on June 23, 2026.

In connection with this transaction, the Company hosted an official closing ceremony on July 1, 2026, at the Hotel Mielparque Nagoya (Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture).

The closing ceremony was attended by Kiyotaka Ito, Representative Director and CEO of Leifras, together with the executive management team of SWIFT JAPAN Co., Ltd., marking a collaborative milestone as both enterprises formally celebrated their new start under the Leifras Group.

Following the ceremony, key operational members from both corporations participated in an in-depth Post-Merger Integration (PMI) strategic workshop. The session served to share Leifras's core philosophy, "Transforming and Designing Sports," while fostering a highly active exchange of opinions on how to leverage both companies' specialized strengths, provide long-term growth support beginning in infancy (age 0), and generate tangible synergies.

By overlaying Leifras's exclusive multi-sport operational know-how (cross-selling capabilities) and proprietary "non-cognitive skill development methodology" onto the established customer asset foundation that SWIFT JAPAN has built, the group aims to maximize Customer Lifetime Value (LTV) and achieve sustainable growth.
