About

ADVASA

Advasa

Holdings, Inc. (corporate website: https://adbt.io/) is a fintech payment holding company established in Delaware conducting operations

through its Japanese subsidiary ADVASA Co., Ltd. headquartered in Tokyo, Japan (corporate website: https://www.advasa.co.jp/en/,

Founder and Representative Director: Asamitsu Kosugi). ADVASA operates “FUKUPE,” an EWA platform that allows employees to

receive wages they have already earned in real-time. Leveraging a global patent strategy, the company has established an intellectual

property foundation across markets including Japan, the United States, South Korea, and Singapore. By integrating seamlessly with major

HR and payroll systems as well as diverse payment infrastructures (such as bank transfers and e-wallets), ADVASA plans to expand from

Japan into global markets—including Indonesia and the UAE where the need for financial inclusion is rapidly growing.

Forward-Looking

Statements

Certain

statements in this announcement are forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking

statements. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties and are based on the Company’s current

expectations and projections about future events that the Company believes may affect its financial condition, results of operations,

business strategy, and financial needs, including risks and uncertainties related to prevailing market conditions, investor demand for

shares of ADVASA’s common stock, the expected availability of trading on specific international platforms, and the impact of general

economic, industry, or regulatory conditions in the United States or internationally. Investors can identify these forward-looking statements

by words or phrases such as “may,” “could,” “will,” “should,” “would,” “expect,”

“plan,” “aim,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,”

“predict,” “likely,” “potential,” “project,” or “continue,” or the negative

of these terms or other comparable terminology. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking

statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances, except as required by law. Although the Company believes that the expectations

expressed in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, it cannot guarantee that such expectations will prove correct. The Company

cautions investors that actual results may differ materially from those anticipated and encourages investors to review the risks and

uncertainties and other factors that may affect the Company’s future results identified in the Company’s registration statement

on Form S-1, as amended (File No. 333-292013), declared effective by the SEC on August 11, 2026, the Company’s Form 10-Q for the

quarter ended June 30, 2026 filed with the SEC on August 12, 2026, and subsequent disclosure documents the Company may file with the

SEC, available at www.sec.gov. The Company claims the protection of the Safe Harbor contained in the Private Securities Litigation

Reform Act of 1995 for forward-looking statements.
