Rhea-AI Filing Summary

PicoCELA Inc. held an extraordinary general meeting and a common stock shareholders meeting on June 18, 2026, where shareholders approved all proposals, including a partial amendment to the articles of incorporation, a preferential issuance of Class A Preferred Shares, and the election of two non‑audit directors.

The articles now authorize 38,455,220 shares, rebalanced to 18,455,220 common shares and 20,000,000 Class A Preferred Shares, and reduce the Class A conversion ratio to one or two common shares per preferred share depending on the share price. Shareholders authorized a preferential issuance of up to 20,000,000 Class A Preferred Shares at a minimum payment of US$0.25 per share (less advisory fees) to About Investment Pte. Ltd. as a “Special Subscriber,” which would hold 20,000,000 of 29,613,805 voting rights and own more than 50% of outstanding voting shares. The company states this urgent capital is needed to address its current unfavorable financial position and to continue operating as a going concern. Two independent director candidates were approved; their elections become effective once payment for the newly approved preferred share issuance is made.

Class A Preferred Shares financial
"preferential issuance of Class A Preferred Shares by Third-Party Allotment"
Class A preferred shares are a specific type of company stock that gives holders a higher claim than ordinary shareholders on dividends and on company assets if the business winds down, often with a fixed dividend payment and limited or no voting rights. Think of them as a priority ticket in line: they offer more steady income and protection than common shares but usually less potential for big price gains and less influence over company decisions, which matters to investors balancing income, risk and control.
third-party allotment financial
"Preferential Issuance of Class A Preferred Shares by Third-Party Allotment"
Special Subscriber regulatory
"allotted to “Special Subscriber” defined under the Article 206-2(1) of the Companies Act"
going concern financial
"raise capital urgently to cope with our current unfavorable financial position and continue to operate as a going concern"
Going concern is the accounting assumption that a company will keep operating and meeting its obligations for the foreseeable future. The phrase matters most when a company or its auditors disclose substantial doubt about it, a formal warning that the business may not have enough resources to continue without raising money, restructuring, or selling assets. That language in a filing or press release signals elevated financial risk.
Audit and Supervisory Committee regulatory
"Election of Two Directors Who Are Not Members of Audit and Supervisory Committee"
An audit and supervisory committee is a board-level group that checks a company’s books, internal controls, and management decisions to help ensure financial reports are accurate and risks are controlled. Think of it as a combined watchdog and accounting review team that holds executives accountable and flags problems early, which matters to investors because it strengthens trust in financial statements and lowers the chance of surprise losses or fraud.

Shareholders approved amendments to the articles of incorporation, a preferential issuance of up to 20,000,000 Class A Preferred Shares, and the election of two non‑audit directors. These measures support urgent capital raising and adjust governance and conversion terms.

How did PicoCELA (PCLA) change its authorized share structure and Class A conversion terms?

Total authorized shares remain 38,455,220, but are reallocated to 18,455,220 common and 20,000,000 Class A Preferred Shares. One Class A share now converts into one common share, or two if the common share/ADS price is at or below $0.50 for 20 consecutive trading days.

What are the terms of PicoCELA’s (PCLA) preferential Class A Preferred Share issuance?

The company may issue up to 20,000,000 Class A Preferred Shares at a minimum payment of US$0.25 per share (less advisory fees). The issuance is by third‑party allotment and is intended to raise capital urgently to support continued operation as a going concern.

When do the newly elected directors of PicoCELA Inc. (PCLA) take office?

Two independent director candidates, Lim Kien Leong and Jong Han Rey Foo, were approved with strong support. Their elections become effective only after Proposal 2’s Class A Preferred Share issuance is approved and payment for the issuance is made.

Why is PicoCELA (PCLA) pursuing a below-market preferred share issuance?

The company explains that, given its current unfavorable financial position, it cannot raise the capital needed to continue as a going concern at market value. It views the preferential issuance of equity shares as necessary to raise critical capital and then pursue restructuring and operational improvements.

Convocation and Results of Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders and Common Stock Shareholders Meeting of PicoCELA Inc.

 

In accordance with the rules and regulations of the Companies Act of Japan (the “Companies Act”), PicoCELA Inc. (the “Company”) made public a notice and provided accompanying information, including voting instructions, on its website on June 3, 2026, and sent the same to all holders of its common shares and American Depositary Shares on June 3, 2026, with respect to its extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the “Extraordinary General Meeting”) and meeting of holders of common shares (the “Common Stock Shareholders Meeting”), which Extraordinary General Meeting and Common Stock Shareholders Meeting were subsequently held in Tokyo, Japan on June 18, 2026 at 10:00 a.m., Japan Standard Time. The Extraordinary General Meeting and Common Stock Shareholders Meeting were held for the following purposes, which purposes are more fully described in the Notice of Convocation attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1:

 

Matters to be Resolved Approving:

 

Proposal 1

Partial Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation

(Proposal for both Extraordinary General Meeting and Common Stock

Shareholders Meeting)

   
Proposal 2

Preferential Issuance of Class A Preferred Shares by Third-Party Allotment

(Proposal for Extraordinary General Meeting)

   
Proposal 3

Election of Two Directors Who Are Not Members of Audit and Supervisory Committee

(Proposal for Extraordinary General Meeting)

 

The notice of convocation furnished in this report as Exhibit 99.1 shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section.

 

A total of 8,729,248 votes, representing approximately 90.80% of the votes as of June 3, 2026, the record date for the Extraordinary General Meeting and Common Stock Shareholders Meeting, were present in person or by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting and Common Stock Shareholders Meeting.

 

At the Extraordinary General Meeting and Common Stock Shareholders Meeting, the shareholders of the Company approved and adopted all proposals as originally proposed.

 

The voting result of the Extraordinary General Meeting was as follows:

 

Proposal  For  Against  Abstain
Proposal 1  8,585,148  143,827  273
Proposal 2  8,584,541  144,464  243
Proposal 3 - Candidate 1)  8,669,387  59,558  303
Proposal 3 - Candidate 2)  8,669,385  59,560  303

 

The voting result of the Common Stock Shareholders Meeting was as follows:

 

Proposal  For  Against  Abstain
Proposal 1  8,585,148  143,827  273

 

For the avoidance of doubt, this Proposal 3 proposed the election of the same two directors approved in accordance with proposal 3 (the “Previous Proposal 3”) of the extraordinary general meeting held on April 30, 2026 (the “Previous Extraordinary General Meeting”). The details of the Previous Extraordinary General Meeting were disclosed on a current report on Form 6-K furnished on May 12, 2026. The effective date of the election of the two directors pursuant to the Previous Proposal 3 was conditioned upon: (i) the approval of the issuance of class A preferred shares by third party allotment in accordance with proposal 2 of the Previous Extraordinary General Meeting (the “Previous Proposal 2”), and (ii) the payment for the issuance of the class A preferred shares pursuant to the Previous Proposal 2 made during the payment period of May 1, 2026 to June 30, 2026 (“Payment Period”). Since the Payment Period elapsed before any payment was made, the Previous Proposal 3 did not become effective.

 

This Proposal 3 will become effective upon the approval of Proposal 2, which approval was obtained at the Extraordinary General Meeting, and the payment for the issuance of class A preferred shares in accordance with this Proposal 2 is made.

Proposal No. 2: Preferential Issuance of Class A Preferred Shares by Third-Party Allotment
  (Proposal for Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders)

 

Subject to the Shareholders’ approval of Proposal No. 1 Partial Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation, the Company proposes to delegate to the Board of Directors the preferential issuance of Class A Preferred Shares and allotment of the Class A Preferred Shares as stated below.

 

1.Type Securities and Maximum Number of Shares to issue:
  
 Class A Preferred Shares up to 20,000,000 shares
  
2.Minimum Payment Amount per share:
  
 US$0.25 per share less financial advisory fees per share for financial advisory firm

 

Reason for the preferential issuance:

 

This issuance of Class A Preferred Shares is a “preferential issuance of equity sharers”. Reason for the preferential issuance is to raise capital urgently to cope with our current unfavorable financial position and continue to operate as a going concern. We concluded that under the current financial condision, it is not possible to raise the capital required to continue as a going concern by issuing shares at market value and we are proposed by a particular potential investor of interest to issue a large number of shares with voting rights at a price lower than the market price. We concluded that raising capital by preferential issuance of equity shares is the fundamental and ultimate way to serve the shareholders’ interest. With this new capital, we will conduct a restructuring and improve our business operation.

 

Please note the Preferential Issuance of Class A Preferred Shares above will be allotted to “Special Subscriber” defined under the Article 206-2(1) of the Companies Act in Japan as a subscriber who is going to own more than 50% of the Company’s outstanding voting shares at the time of the issuance of the securities subscribed.

 

The description of the “Special Subscriber” and the required disclosure related is as below:

 

  i) Name and address of the Special Subscriber:
     
  About Investment Pte. Ltd.            68 Circular Road #02-01 Singapore 049422
     
  ii) Number of voting rights to be owned by the Special Subscriber if the subscribed shares were allotted to the Special Subscriber:
     
    20,000,000
     
  iii) Total number of the Company’s outstanding voting rights if the subscribed equity shares were allotted to the Special Subscriber:
     
    29,613,805
     
  iv) The Board of Director’s conclusion and the Audit and Supervisory Committee’s opinion on the issuing shares to the Special Subscriber:
     
    It is necessary and appropriate to allot the above number of equity shares with voting rights to the Special Subscriber in order to raise critical capital for the Company’s business operation

Proposal 3: Election of Two Directors Who Are Not Members of Audit and Supervisory Committee
  (Proposal for Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders)

 

Although this proposal was approved at the April 30, 2026 Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders, we are reproposing this proposal because the time limit for the election to become effective has expired.

 

In order to reinforce the supervisory function on the Company’s management, we request the election of two Directors who are not Members of Audit and Supervisory Committee. The election of all of the candidates becomes effective when Proposal 2 above is approved and the payment for the issuance of Class A Preferred Shares at Proposal 2 is made.

Lim Kien Leong graduated from the University of Sydney with his Bachelor of Commerce and Bachelor of Laws degrees.

Notes:

 

1 . There is no special interest between the Company and the Director candidates.
3. Lim Kien Leong and Jong Han Rey Foo are Independent Director candidates.
4. The reason for nominating Mr. Lim Kien Leong as a candidate for Independent Director is that we expect him to fulfill supervising function over the management from a perspective based on his experience and knowledge as an expert in corporate management accumulated through his career performing as CEO of TranSwap.

6. If the election of Lim Kien Leong and Jong Han Rey Foo is approved, the Company plans to renew the liability limitation agreement with both of them, which limits their liability to the minimum amount prescribed under Article 425, paragraph (1) of the Companies Act.
7.
