Mr. Atomura,

Thank you very much, as always, for your review.

This is Shunsuke Kimura, whistleblower.

I have now received formal notification from the Consumer Affairs Agency, Office of the Director (Whistleblower Protection and Cooperation), that a “confirmation investigation concerning internal system development” has been initiated against the target company, Infroneer Holdings.

At this stage, the Consumer Affairs Agency explained that it will only “confirm the formal existence of internal arrangements.”

However, based on my prior reports and records (ignored internal whistleblowing, refusal to respond), it is evident that there are serious contradictions in the company’s actual practices.

Therefore, even if the review remains at the level of formal confirmation, I believe there is a high likelihood that the company’s history of ignoring reports and systemic deficiencies will be exposed during the investigation process.

I recognize this development as an extremely important stage in visualizing both the reality of the whistleblower system and the problems in corporate responses.

For details on this matter, please refer to the attached PDF:

I will continue striving to share necessary information, and I greatly appreciate your continued attention.

Sincerely,

Shunsuke Kimura
