Summary

Metaplanet announced on June 19 the launch of a sponsored Level I American Depositary Receipt program with Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas as depositary. Trading over-the-counter under MPJPY, the ADRs are part of Metaplanet's long-term capital market strategy to enhance U.S. investor accessibility.

It replaces prior unsponsored arrangements and aligns with Level I ADR issuance standards without raising capital.
