About Inter Holdings Inc.

Operating under the mission of "bringing valuable, overlooked technologies into society," Inter Holdings holds proprietary patents inheriting vacuum technology originally utilized in NASA's Apollo program. The company applies its unique technology—which enables manual vacuum filling using check valves without the need for electricity or large-scale equipment—to the fields of food preservation and distribution. Officially launched in November 2025, their "Kuradashi Vacuum Sake" has partnered with over 30 sake breweries nationwide and is increasingly being adopted by hotels, restaurants, and commercial facilities.

Purpose of Funding and Future Outlook

The newly raised capital will be allocated toward the following business expansion initiatives:

• Nationwide Expansion of "Kuradashi Vacuum Sake": Accelerating adoption in hotels, restaurants, and airport lounges while strengthening the supply infrastructure.
• Establishment of an International Distribution Model: Validating a distribution model to export vacuum-filled sake while preserving its peak freshness.
• Lateral Expansion into Regional Assets: Applying the technology to perishables and regional specialties where freshness is critical, such as rice, marine products, fruit juices, and fermented foods.
• Strengthening Organizational Structure: Recruiting talent for business development, global expansion, and technical research, alongside scaling up production capabilities.
