Announcement Regarding the Future BusinessDirection of Sony Honda Mobility

Sony Group Corporation (“Sony”), Honda Motor Co., Ltd. (“Honda”), and Sony Honda Mobility Inc. (“SHM”), the joint venture formed by Sony and Honda, today announced they have reached an agreement regarding the future business direction and positioning of SHM.

Following Honda’s reassessment of its automobile electrification strategy announced on March 12, 2026, Sony, Honda, and SHM announced on March 25, 2026 the discontinuation of the development and launch of the first AFEELA model, AFEELA 1, as well as the second model.

Taking this into account, the three companies further considered the future business direction of SHM and concluded that it would be difficult to find ways to bring products and services aligned with SHM’s founding purpose to the market in the short to medium term under the existing framework. Based on these conclusions, the companies have decided to review the current structure of SHM for the time being and scale down its operations. Following this decision, SHM employees are expected to be reassigned to the parent companies and related entities in principle, taking into account their individual preferences.

Since SHM was established in September 2022, Sony and Honda have brought together and integrated their respective technologies, expertise, and development capabilities with the aim of creating new value in mobility. Both companies remain committed to the principles set out at the founding of the joint venture - contributing to and leading the evolution of mobility. Going forward, while taking into account the changing business environment, the three companies expect to continue discussions on the optimal form of collaboration between them, with the aim of bringing new value to the user experience through software in anticipation of an era where advanced driver assistance systems become mainstream.
