\r\nSimilar to the TOKYO PRO Market\u2014a market for professional investors operated by the Tokyo Stock Exchange\u2014the Sapporo PRO Frontier Market is only open to professional investors. Accordingly, it features a more flexible listing system than general markets, as it does not require meeting numerical criteria for initial listing, such as numbers of shareholders, market capitalization, or profit levels.
\r\nS-Adviser has been commissioned by the Sapporo Securities Exchange to conduct pre-listing eligibility reviews, provide advice and guidance on timely disclosure after listing, and investigate compliance with requirements for remaining listed.

Background and Objectives of the S-Adviser Qualification and the Launch of the Sapporo PRO Frontier Market Listing Support Service<\/h4>\r\n
Since its founding in 1991, Nihon M&A Center has been a leading M&A brokerage firm with the mission to \u201ccontribute to the preservation and sustainable growth of businesses through M&A\u201d, working to resolve challenges pertaining to business succession for many small and medium-sized enterprises. Through this work, we have come to realize that \u201cstar companies\u201d are necessary in each prefecture of Japan to achieve true regional revitalization. To discover growing companies and help them continue to develop, we acquired the J-Adviser qualification for the TOKYO PRO Market in July 2019 and the F-Adviser qualification for the Fukuoka PRO Market in December 2024, and provide listing support services nationwide. Nihon M&A Center Group celebrated its 35th anniversary in April 2026.<\/p>\r\n We position our 35th anniversary as an opportunity for our \u201cSecond Founding,\u201d and will continue our efforts to strengthen our business foundation and enhance the value we provide, aiming for further growth.<\/p><\/strong>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n \u3010Nihon M&A Center Holdings Inc.

\r\n
\r\nTo date, we have handled initial public offering (IPO) applications for a total of 58 companies on the TOKYO PRO Market and Fukuoka PRO Market.
\r\nIn Hokkaido, we provide M&A and listing support throughout the prefecture, mainly from our Hokkaido Sales Office located in Sapporo.
\r\nHaving obtained the S-Adviser qualification, we are now better equipped to accommodate the growth needs of our broad range of clients. With our Sapporo PRO Frontier Market Listing Support Service, we will redouble our efforts to foster the emergence of star companies in Hokkaido. We will also bolster our partnerships with audit firms, certified public accountants, and currently listed companies that support IPOs, thereby contributing to the achievement of true regional revitalization in Hokkaido and the rest of Japan.<\/p>
