Production in Myanmar is carried out through Teijn frontier co., ltd. (hereafter referred to as Company A).

Regarding this matter, our company will provide guidance to Company A.
And we will instruct Company A to provide guidance to their factory to be aware that they can’t subcontract without our approval.
Regarding specific measures, we will report as soon as we receive a response from Company A.
And we instructed Company A to provide guidance to their factory to re-aware that they can’t subcontract without our approval.
In addition, a memorandum of understanding was exchanged between Company A and the factory that received orders from Company A which says if work is to be subcontracted, the factory must report and approval to Company A before manufacturing.
