Insights

Medirom raises JPY 400M via 2% convertible bonds with share option.

Medirom Healthcare Technologies Inc. is issuing third unsecured convertible bonds with share options in an aggregate principal amount of JPY 400,000,000 to 11 investors. The bonds bear 2.0% annual interest until the initial maturity on June 30, 2026, with interest paid in two installments and principal due at maturity, creating a modest fixed income obligation.

Bondholders may convert their holdings into common shares between December 12, 2025 and June 10, 2026 at a conversion price of JPY 343 per share, introducing potential equity dilution depending on how many investors elect conversion. The company may also redeem the bonds early between June 1, 2026 and maturity, or repurchase and cancel them with bondholder agreement, which adds flexibility in managing future interest and potential dilution.

Medirom intends, but is not obligated, to use the JPY 400,000,000 in gross proceeds for general corporate or financing purposes, so the ultimate impact will depend on how efficiently this capital is deployed. The issuance is conducted outside the United States under Regulation S, and the bonds and any shares or American Depositary Shares issuable upon conversion are not registered under the Securities Act, which confines trading and resale to permitted jurisdictions and exemptions.

Issuance of Convertible Corporate Bonds

 

On December 11, 2025, upon approval from the Board of Directors of MEDIROM Healthcare Technologies Inc. (the “Company”) and effective upon the delivery of a notice of acceptance from the Company, 11 investors subscribed to purchase the Company's Third Unsecured Convertible-Type Corporate Bonds with Share Options in an aggregate principal amount of 400,000,000 JPY (the "Bonds"). The issuance will be conducted through a third-party allotment, and each Bond will be issued in denominations of JPY 10,000,000. The sale of the Bonds is expected to close on December 12, 2025 (the “Closing Date”), on which date the Bonds will be issued to the investors (the “Bond Holders”) under the Terms of Third Unsecured Convertible-Type Corporate Bonds with Share Options (the “Indenture”) pursuant to the Companies Act of Japan. Under the Indenture, the Bonds will be unsecured, accrue interest at a rate of 2.0% per annum from the day immediately following the issue date until June 30, 2026 (the “Maturity Date”). Interest is payable in two installments, with the first payment due on December 29, 2025 and the final payment due on the Maturity Date, unless earlier redeemed or converted. Pursuant to the Indenture, the Company shall repay the total amount of the principal on the Maturity Date. The Company may extend the Maturity Date to December 25, 2026, by notifying the Bond Holders in writing or by electronic mail prior to the Maturity Date. If the Maturity Date is extended, remaining interest will be payable on June 30, 2026, and December 25, 2026. At any time between December 12, 2025, and June 10, 2026, the Bond Holder may convert each Bond at its option, in whole but not in part, into common shares, no par value, of the Company. The conversion price is JPY 343 per common share, subject to customary adjustments upon the occurrence of certain events. The Company may, at its option, redeem the Bonds prior to the Maturity Date on any business day falling between June 1, 2026 and the Maturity Date, provided that the Company has delivered to the Bond Holders, at least fifteen business days before the proposed redemption date, a notice of early redemption specifying such business day as the redemption date. The Company, acting with the agreement of the Bond Holder, may repurchase and cancel the Bonds prior to the Maturity Date. Under the Indenture, the Bond Holder may not transfer the Bonds without the consent of the Company’s board of directors.

 

Upon the occurrence of certain conditions, the Bond Holder may demand immediate repayment of the Bonds under the Indenture. These conditions include, among others, the Company’s failure to timely pay interest and failure to remedy the nonpayment within 30 days; certain other default events regarding other indebtedness incurred or guaranteed by the Company; the Company resolving to commence bankruptcy, civil rehabilitation, or similar proceedings, or receiving an order to commence such proceedings; or an asset essential to the Company’s business operations becoming subject to compulsory execution or provisional attachment, or the occurrence of other circumstances which significantly damage the creditworthiness of the Company.

 

The gross proceeds from the sale of the Bonds are expected to be JPY 400,000,000. The Company intends, but is not obligated, to use the proceeds from the sale of the Bonds for general corporate or financing purposes that the Company determines to be appropriate from time to time.

 

The Bonds are being issued and sold outside the United States in reliance upon the safe harbor provided by Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Bonds, the common shares issuable upon the conversion of the Bonds, and any American Depositary Shares that may represent such common shares issuable upon the conversion of the Bonds have not been registered under the Securities Act, or any other securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or applicable exemption from registration requirements.

 

The foregoing description of the Bonds and the Indenture does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Indenture, which is furnished herewith as Exhibit 4.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

This report on Form 6-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the securities discussed herein, nor shall there be any offer, solicitation, or sale of the securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state.
