Crea Holdings considers delaying fiscal year end report

Crea Holdings announced today that it is considering applying for an extension to the submission deadline for its fiscal year-end securities report for the fiscal year ending March 2025. The original deadline is June 30, 2025. The decision stems from an ongoing internal investigation into the propriety of transactions between a subsidiary and a specific business partner, initially disclosed on May 2, 2025, and further detailed in a June 12, 2025 announcement regarding the postponement of the 61st Annual General Meeting of Shareholders. The investigation, prompted by inquiries from the Securities and Exchange Surveillance Commission, involves a special investigation committee comprised of independent external experts including lawyers and certified public accountants. The committee is currently quantifying discrepancies, and the company anticipates that subsequent audit procedures will require significant time. Crea Holdings has concluded that it will not be able to obtain an audit report in time to meet the original filing deadline. The company will promptly announce further details regarding the expected filing date as soon as the direction is decided.
