Premium Group declares dividend, subsidiary secures $50m loan

Premium Group Co., Ltd. announced an interim dividend of JPY27.00 per share, totaling JPY1,054 million, with a record date of September 30, 2025, and an effective date of December 5, 2025. This aligns with the previously announced forecast. The company's basic policy emphasizes stable and continuous dividends, balancing shareholder returns with the need for retained earnings to fund business expansion and sustainable growth.

Additionally, Premium Group’s consolidated subsidiary, Premium Co., Ltd., will enter a loan agreement with Rakuten Bank, Ltd. for JPY5,000 million. The unsecured agreement, scheduled for November 28, 2025, with a repayment due date of November 29, 2030, features a fixed interest rate.

This long-term loan aims to secure working capital for the Group's medium-to long-term growth and corporate value enhancement. The agreement includes financial covenants, such as maintaining consolidated "Total Equity" at 75% or more of the March 2025 fiscal year-end amount, and 50% or more quarterly, along with Premium Co., Ltd. maintaining positive operating profit. The impact on the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, is expected to be minor.
