DIGITAL HEARTS HOLDINGS Co., Ltd., (hereinafter referred to as “the Company”) the parent company of DIGITAL HEARTS Co., Ltd. announces that, at the Board of Directors meeting held today, it resolved to additionally acquire shares representing 28.4% of the issued shares of G-angle Co., Ltd. (“G-angle”), with which the Company entered into a capital and business alliance agreement in February 2024, and to enter into a basic agreement on the conditions for the future acquisition of all of the remaining shares, as outlined below. 

■Reasons for the additional share acquisition

　In recent years, the global expansion of game titles has accelerated, leading to a sharp increase in demand for multilingual support and localization to enable simultaneous releases across various countries and regions. Against this backdrop, DIGITAL HEARTS group is currently working to evolve into a “Global Quality Partner” capable of comprehensively enhancing “Entertainment Quality.” We have been building on the management resources and know-how and actively leveraging M&A and strategic alliances to develop a one-stop solution framework that encompasses our founding business of game debugging, translation and LQA (Linguistic Quality Assurance), game development support, marketing support, and related services. As part of these initiatives, in February 2024, the Company entered into a capital and business alliance agreement with G-angle with the aim of expanding its multilingual voice recording services. 
　G-angle is a creative company that brings together a diverse range of creatives capable of all kinds of artistic expression, including video, animation, design, 3D computer graphics, voice recording, and music production. Especially in the field of voice recording, its strength lies in its one-stop delivery framework that covers everything from casting to translation, recording, and editing in over 20 languages. 
　Since entering into the capital and business alliance agreement, DIGITAL HEARTS Group and G-angle have mutually complemented each other’s customer bases and solutions, resulting in progress beyond initial expectations. This includes the successful acquisition of large-scale projects involving the integrated provision of translation and LQA services for new titles, as well as voice recording in nine languages. In light of the anticipated further strengthening and development of the collaboration between the two companies, and the growth expected for both DIGITAL HEARTS Group and G-angle, the Company has decided to additionally acquire shares in G-angle.
