Es-Con extends loan maturity for project funding

Es-Con Japan has resolved at a board meeting to extend the maturity date of its syndicated loan. This loan, initially disclosed on September 24, 2024, will now mature on March 27, 2026, a change from the previous September 29, 2025, deadline. The purpose of this extension is to facilitate project funding, following a partial revision of the relevant project's schedule.

The syndicated term loan involves a total amount of JPY 22.7 billion, with the execution date remaining September 27, 2024. The interest rate is set at a base rate plus 0.35%, and Mitsubishi UFJ Bank is the arranger. The company plans to refinance this borrowing with long-term financing by the revised maturity date.

Es-Con confirmed that this change does not impact the full-year consolidated earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2026, which was publicly announced on April 25, 2025.
