Yoren Limited (Headquarters: Tokyo, Japan; CEO: Osamu Kaneda; hereinafter “the Company”) announces that it has implemented a corporate inversion (internal restructuring) effective September 1, 2025, establishing its Japanese entity as the holding company of the group.

Overview of the Corporate Inversion

The corporate inversion reorganizes the Group’s structure from a model in which an overseas entity (a BVI company) functioned as the group holding company, to a structure in which the Company, a Japanese entity, serves as the group holding company overseeing all business operations.
As a result, the Company is now positioned as the holding company supervising the entire group, including the Hong Kong entity and the mainland China operating company.

For details regarding the group structure before and after the restructuring, please refer to the reference materials (Group Organizational Chart) below.

Background and Objectives of the Corporate Inversion

1. Establishing a Structure for a Future IPO in Japan

In preparation for a potential future initial public offering (IPO) on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, the Company determined that positioning the group holding company in Japan would create a structure that is easier for investors to understand while supporting the establishment of governance aligned with Japanese regulations.
This restructuring will also enable more transparent financial reporting based on Japanese accounting standards and allow for more efficient compliance with regulations such as the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act.

2. Diversifying Financing Options

The restructuring also aims to expand access to a wider range of financing options in Japan, including debt financing. By doing so, the Company will be able to secure the funds necessary for business growth more flexibly and efficiently. Company Name: Yoren Co., Ltd. (Formerly Yo-ren Japan Co., Ltd.) Head Office: 10F Hanzomon PREX South, 2-5-1 Kojimachi, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, Japan Representative: Osamu Kaneda, CEO

Future Outlook

Through this corporate inversion, the Company will operate as a Japan-based holding company and will continue working to enhance the enterprise value of the entire group while achieving sustainable growth.
The Company will steadily advance preparations toward a potential future IPO while promoting business expansion supported by diversified financing strategies.

CEO Comment on the Corporate Inversion

With the support of our shareholders, we have relocated our headquarters to Tokyo as of September 1.

When I first founded Yoren, foreign ownership restrictions made it extremely difficult for foreign capital to operate internet businesses in mainland China. As a result, we were compelled to establish our headquarters in the British Virgin Islands (BVI) and maintain a complex corporate structure.

However, as these regulations have gradually eased, we have now obtained all the necessary qualifications required to operate our business as a foreign-invested company and have established a solid operational foundation.

At the same time, geopolitical developments and China’s rapid evolution have significantly transformed the country’s role. For Japanese companies, China has shifted from being primarily a “growth market” in the 2010s to becoming one of the world’s most advanced hubs for software and hardware production.

As a Japanese company, Yoren will leverage its unique position to fully utilize this “China quality” to support Japanese companies and brands originating from Japan in expanding overseas.

By relocating our headquarters to Tokyo, we intend to firmly establish our presence in the Japanese market across all aspects of our business, including operations, finance, and governance.

We would be delighted if you have the opportunity to visit our new office in Hanzomon.
