Title: Report Regarding Obstruction and Concealment of Labor Accident Claims
Relationship to the Company: Maeda Corporation, Kansai Branch, Facilities Department, Chief Engineer
Date of Incident: From around October 2022 and continuing to the present
Location of Incident: Maeda Corporation, Kansai Branch (Osaka)
Responsible Parties: Managers and HR officers of Maeda Corporation, Kansai Branch

■ Report Details:

This is a whistleblower report concerning acts of obstructing and continuously concealing labor accident claims at Maeda Corporation’s Kansai Branch.

Since around October 2022, the following organizational practices have been systematically carried out against workers injured or harmed during work:

Coercive acts such as pressuring them to apply for private sickness benefits instead of labor accident compensation
False explanations such as “an application was filed with the Labor Standards Inspection Office but was judged not to be a labor accident”
Non-submission or falsification of labor accident reports (ongoing)
Suppression of accident reports within the company and failure to implement recurrence prevention measures

These are not isolated deficiencies but are considered institutionalized concealment at the internal policy level.

As of the end of fiscal year 2024, the cumulative number of unreported or obstructed labor accident cases reached 52. Related evidence, including audio recordings, emails, and reports, has been retained.

■ Matters to be Confirmed / Investigated by Your Company (Parent Company):

Has Infroneer Holdings already conducted fact-finding or investigations regarding this matter?
Whether there exist obligations and systems for labor accident reporting and corrective instruction under group governance; whether there are records of compliance instructions or responses directed to Maeda Corporation
Whether this matter is scheduled to be reported to your Audit Committee or Board of Directors in the future

■ Response Deadline:

Please respond to this report by Friday, April 18, 2025, 17:00 JST.

If no response is received by the deadline, this matter will be formally recorded as a “system non-response (unprocessed count)” and, if necessary, may be included in Consumer Affairs Agency confirmation materials, administrative records, police report evidence, or media submissions.

This case is a serious matter that calls into question the governance system of the parent company and the effectiveness of its whistleblowing framework. We request calm and sincere action based on facts and applicable laws.
