TOKYO, JAPAN, May 12, 2026 -- CTW (Nasdaq: CTW) (the “Company”, formerly CTW Cayman), a leading game platform company providing global access to web-based games through its flagship HTML5 platform, G123.jp, today announced that shareholders approved all proposals at the Company’s Annual General Meeting held in Tokyo, Japan on May 7, 2026.

"Today's approvals represent an important milestone in the company's evolution as we continue building a global platform for anime-inspired web gaming," said Ryuichi Sasaki, Founder, CEO, and Chairman of CTW. “Our simplified corporate name reflects our long-term vision. 'CTW' stands for 'Change the World', a philosophy that has guided us since our inception. I started this company from scratch with nothing but the hope that CTW will leave a profound, positive impact on humanity. This name both represents and reaffirms that same ambition, as we continue to create experiences that foster and facilitate connections between people, communities, and the stories that bring them all together.”
