The Japan integrated resort (IR) consortium led by PIXEL COMPANYZ INC. 
announced on August 13th that Groupe Partouche SA, the world-class French 
casino operator with over 40 gaming properties, has entered into a formal 
agreement to participate in the consortium.  

Pixel Companyz and Groupe Partouche will work together with their consortium 
partners to plan, develop and operate a premier integrated resort in Japan. The 
consortium aims to develop an IR unique to Japan that will highlight the 
tourism assets, food culture, brands and the hospitable culture that the 
country has to offer. 

As a result of this agreement, Pixel Companyz, listed on the Tokyo Stock 
Exchange, becomes only the second Japanese IR consortium leader to have 
partnered with a proven international gaming operator. 

The inclusion of Groupe Partouche contributes another extraordinary aspect to 
Pixel's Japan IR consortium, which aims to incorporate aspects of Japanese, 
Asian and European culture into a unique and symbolic IR facility. Groupe 
Partouche brings nearly 50 years of extensive casino business experience in the 
competitive European gaming market and is also known to progressively introduce 
new technology and data analysis methods to their operations. 

The announcement also follows the notice of a capital and business alliance 
agreement between Pixel Companyz and TTL Resorts. TTL has wide-ranging 
experience in data analysis and investment aspects of the gaming industry. 

Pixel Companyz CEO Hiroaki Yoshida puts emphasis on the importance of a 
Japanese entity being actively involved in a Japan IR consortium. As stated on 
the company homepage, "Pixel Companyz aims to connect Japan to the world and 
showcase the best of the country by forming this consortium and deeply rooting 
ourselves into the Japanese IR industry."

Pixel Companyz was established in 1986 and currently holds a central role in 
their Japan IR consortium. The company's three key business segments relating 
to integrated resorts are entertainment, development and system innovation. The 
company is listed in the Tokyo Stock Exchange and is engaged in a variety of 
businesses such as gaming, e-sports, fintech, solar power facilities and resort 
development.

casino operations. They operate 42 casinos in addition to their luxury hotel 
and restaurant businesses. The company is listed on Euronext Paris Stock 
Exchange.
