TBS Holdings invests $180m in US subsidiary, boosts shareholder benefits

On December 4, 2025, TBS Holdings, Inc. revealed an additional capital contribution of $180,000,000 to its wholly-owned US subsidiary, THE SEVEN US, INC. This investment, aimed at expanding overseas content development and business operations, elevates the subsidiary to a "specified subsidiary" status, as its total capital now exceeds 10% of TBS Holdings' stated capital. THE SEVEN US, INC., established on October 31, 2025, has a chief executive, Katsuaki Setoguchi, and focuses on video production, entertainment business, and sales of events and programs. The company projects minimal impact on its consolidated operating results.

Concurrently, TBS Holdings announced changes to its shareholder benefit program, effective from March 2026. The revised program aims to deepen shareholder understanding of the group's "content" by offering more direct experiences. The "World Athletics Championships Tokyo 25 related measures" benefit has been deleted, while "TBS Group Related Fan Event" measures have been added for shareholders holding 300 shares or more.

Other benefits for shareholders with 100 shares or more, such as QUO cards (worth 1,000 yen), participation in TV program rehearsals, "SASUKE" viewing, variety TV program rehearsals, TBS Shopping discounts (30% off excluding some items), and special edition company tours, remain. Similarly, benefits for 500 shares or more (comedy program attendance) and 1,000 shares or more (movie/event invitations, "Japan Record Awards" attendance) also continue, with some additional benefits like PLAZA shopping cards (worth 2,000 yen) for those holding 500 shares for over three years.
