Investigation Launched into Possible Securities Fraud

Kirby McInerney LLP, a prominent law firm, is currently conducting an investigation into potential claims against KDDI Corporation (referred to as “KDDI” or the “Company”) regarding possible violations of federal securities laws or other illicit business activities by the Company’s senior management.

The catalyst for this investigation stems from an announcement made by KDDI on February 6, 2026, titled “Notice Regarding Expectation that Disclosure of Earnings Report for the Third Quarter of the Fiscal Year Ending March 2026 Will Exceed the 45-Day Period Following the End of Such Quarter.” This announcement revealed KDDI’s decision to postpone the disclosure of its earnings report due to uncertainties surrounding its quarterly results in light of a previously disclosed internal investigation. Following this announcement, the price of KDDI shares plummeted by $2.03 per share, representing an approximate 11.44% decrease from $17.74 per share on February 5, 2026, to a closing price of $15.71 on February 6, 2026.

It is important to note that as of now, no lawsuit has been filed in connection with this investigation. The ongoing inquiry seeks to ascertain whether claims can be pursued under federal securities laws.
