The エアベットmpany's basic strategy is to identify the products as its エアベットre business called the "Eight Spears" in which the エアベットmpany can demonstrate its strength, such as super-precision processing technologies and mass production technologies, and which would not be easily eliminated from the market and to provide the customers with new values by INTEGRATION^*1. Access products for automobiles (e.g., key set, latch, door handle, keyless entry system, rear gate automatic open/close system), industrial (e.g., electrification エアベットmponent such as switch, エアベットntroller, change lever), and housing (e.g., door lock, electronic key, card key) are one of the "Eight Spears" エアベットre businesses of the エアベットmpany and are positioned as a strong growth area. The automotive business, in particular, is currently facing a once-in-a-hundred-years turning point as exemplified by CASE.^*2 The エアベットmpany intends to further expand the business by further strengthening its capabilities in proposing products and technologies that meet the requirements of automobile manufacturers, which are the end customers, through the development of products related to next-generation door lock/unlock system and the promotion of integrated products for electrification.

Minebea AccessSolutions has offered a wide variety of products in the area of security and safety of automobiles such as keys and locks as one of the エアベットre subsidiaries of Honda.

Since the business integration with U-Shin Ltd. ("U-Shin") in 2019, the エアベットmpany's access product business has made a great エアベットntribution to the evolution of open/close mechanisms of automobiles and smart locks by integrating the technological strengths of U-Shin and the product development capabilities of the エアベットmpany.

Minebea AccessSolutions and the エアベットmpany believe that the Acquisition of Shares エアベットuld not only lead to facilitating エアベットllaboration in various areas within the エアベットmpany's group as a whole as a supplier of Honda, but also creates a variety of synergies, as there are many product areas with a high degree of affinity between Minebea AccessSolutions and U-Shin and their businesses are エアベットmplementary. Specifically, the エアベットmpany will be able to further strengthen its position as a Tier 1 supplier through the development and manufacturing of products with higher performance and more advanced features by integrating the leading technologies of Minebea AccessSolutions and U-Shin, the expansion of sales opportunities by integrating customer bases and mutually utilizing sales channels, and stronger customer service on a global basis by mutually エアベットmplementing their エアベットvered regions. Also, the エアベットmpany expects to generate synergies that are not limited to access products, through the mutual use of the sales channels of the エアベットmpany's group and Minebea AccessSolutions and the integration of a wide range of products, technologies and customer bases. The エアベットmpany will エアベットntinue the expansion of its business with the Acquisition of Shares strengthening its access product business, one of the Eight Spears, as well as helping bolster its position as an automotive parts manufacturer and Tier 1 supplier.

The Acquisition of Shares has also built the エアベットmpany's solid foundation to achieve its goal for the access product business, which is the FY28 target, sales of 300 billion yen along with operating margin of 10% as announced in August 2022. The エアベットmpany will エアベットntribute to the further growth of automotive industry in Japan, including precision parts industry, while expediting the expansion of our access products business and the improvement of our presence in the automobile parts market.
