ZAIKO Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; hereinafter "ZAIKO"), which provides an electronic ticket sales and distribution platform for live entertainment, and Eventify Inc. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; hereinafter "Eventify"), which provides event and ticket solutions, have entered into a strategic partnership agreement aimed at maximizing the value of live events.

■ Background and Purpose of the Partnership

In the diversifying live entertainment market, it is essential to build a seamless ticket sales system and a cross-border distribution infrastructure to fully realize the value of content offered by artists and organizers to fans around the world.

Through this partnership, ZAIKO will provide its advanced distribution platform and technology for live events acquired by Eventify. By combining the strengths of both companies, we will co-create a higher quality experience in the areas of "ticket sales" and "live streaming" not only for domestic fans but also for overseas fans.

■ Main Contents of the Strategic Partnership

Under this agreement, both companies will cooperate in the following areas.

1. Global Expansion of Streaming Ticket Sales
   For the live events developed by Eventify, the system provided by ZAIKO in a "white-label format" will be introduced. This will enable smooth streaming ticket sales while maintaining the brand's worldview for users both in Japan and abroad.

2. Strengthening Ticket Sales for Overseas Users
   Utilizing ZAIKO's technology, which excels in overseas payments and multilingual support, we will assist in both inbound and outbound ticket sales for Eventify's event projects.

3. Mutual Complementation and Sales Cooperation in Project Acquisition
   Both companies will share their networks and technologies (promotion, sales, engineering). By establishing a complementary support system, we will improve the probability of securing large-scale and complex event demands, increasing competitiveness in the market.

■ Future Outlook

Through this partnership, both companies aim to accelerate the enhancement of event experiences through technology and create opportunities for fans and artists to connect more deeply.

Comment from Kazutaka Shimada, CEO of ZAIKO Inc.: As the global live entertainment market grows, the importance of platforms that connect creators and fans is increasingly rising. Through this strategic partnership, we will fully leverage the strengths of both companies to provide live events to fans around the world seamlessly integrating real and streamed experiences.
