Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Tokyo Lifestyle Co., Ltd. (TKLF) approved two related-party share issuances totaling 13,503,648 ordinary shares, scheduled for September 29, 2026. Representative Director Mei Kanayama will subscribe in cash for 1,396,755 shares for JPY 58,838,000, while Tokushin G.K., an entity owned by Mr. Kanayama and his family, will receive 12,106,893 shares via a debt-to-equity swap for a loan principal receivable of JPY 510,000,000, which will be extinguished.

The aggregate consideration for both issuances is JPY 568,838,000, approximately US$3.7 million at an exchange rate of JPY153.74 per US$1.00, priced at US$0.274 per ordinary share (US$2.74 per ADS, 10 shares per ADS). The amendment to the existing subordinated loan increased the principal to JPY510,000,000, advanced an additional JPY210,000,000, and allowed contribution of the receivable for new shares. The board (excluding Mr. Kanayama) approved the amendment and issuances unanimously, and the three corporate auditors unanimously supported the view that the terms did not constitute a favorable issuance under Japanese law.

"an issuance of shares for subscription by way of a third-party allotment through a debt-to-equity swap"
A debt-to-equity swap is a financial transaction where a company converts what it owes (debt) into ownership stakes (equity), so creditors become shareholders instead of being repaid in cash. It matters to investors because it changes the company’s capital structure: it reduces outstanding debt and interest obligations but dilutes existing shareholders and can alter control and future earnings per share, like trading a loan for a slice of the company.

Approval of Share Issuances and Amendment to Related Party Loan

 

On September 10, 2026, the board of directors (the “Board”) of Tokyo Lifestyle Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) approved the issuance of an aggregate of 13,503,648 ordinary shares of the Company (the “Ordinary Shares”) through a cash subscription (the “Cash Subscription”) by Mei Kanayama, the Company’s Representative Director and Director (Principal Executive Officer), and a debt-to-equity swap (the “Debt-to-Equity Swap”) with Tokushin G.K. (“Tokushin”), an entity owned by Mr. Kanayama and his family. The issuances are scheduled to take place on September 29, 2026.

 

On September 10, 2026, the Company entered into a subscription agreement with Mr. Kanayama in respect of the Cash Subscription (the “Cash Subscription Agreement”) and a separate subscription agreement with Tokushin in respect of the Debt-to-Equity Swap (the “DES Subscription Agreement”). Under the approved terms of the Cash Subscription and the Cash Subscription Agreement, Mr. Kanayama will subscribe for 1,396,755 Ordinary Shares for an aggregate cash consideration of JPY58,838,000. The scheduled payment date of the Cash Subscription is September 29, 2026. Under the approved terms of the Debt-to-Equity Swap and the DES Subscription Agreement, Tokushin will contribute its JPY510,000,000 loan principal receivable against the Company in exchange for 12,106,893 Ordinary Shares, with the loan principal receivable being extinguished in its entirety upon completion of the contribution. The Debt-to-Equity Swap is scheduled to be completed on September 29, 2026.

 

The aggregate consideration for the two issuances is JPY568,838,000, equivalent to approximately US$3.7 million at the exchange rate of JPY153.74 to US$1.00 used for pricing the transactions. The pricing benchmark was US$0.274 per Ordinary Share, equivalent to US$2.74 per American depositary share (“ADS”), with each ADS representing 10 Ordinary Shares. The number of Ordinary Shares in each issuance was rounded down to the nearest whole Ordinary Share. The securities to be issued are Ordinary Shares, rather than ADSs. 

 

As previously disclosed in the Company’s report on Form 6-K furnished to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 6, 2026 (the “March 2026 Report”), the Company and Tokushin entered into a subordinated loan agreement dated November 27, 2025 (the “Original Loan Agreement”), which was executed by both parties on February 24, 2026 and provided for a loan disbursement date of February 1, 2026. The Original Loan Agreement provides for an unsecured loan of JPY300,000,000 bearing interest at a fixed rate of 2.0% per annum, with interest payable monthly and principal repayable on January 31, 2031. The Original Loan Agreement was furnished as Exhibit 10.2 to the March 2026 Report.

 

In connection with the proposed Debt-to-Equity Swap, the Company and Tokushin entered into an amendment to the Original Loan Agreement, dated September 10, 2026 (the “Amendment”). The Amendment increases the loan principal amount to JPY510,000,000, provides for an additional advance of JPY210,000,000 on September 10, 2026, and changes the repayment date to September 10, 2026. It also permits the loan principal receivable to be contributed in exchange for newly issued shares and extinguished as a result. To the extent necessary to implement the Debt-to-Equity Swap, the subordination provisions and restrictions on performance in Article 3 of the Original Loan Agreement do not apply. Except as amended, the Original Loan Agreement remains in effect.

 

The Board approved the Amendment at its first meeting on September 10, 2026 and approved the terms of the two share issuances at its second meeting that day. Mr. Kanayama did not participate in the deliberations or voting on the relevant matters due to his interest in the transactions. The proposals were approved unanimously by the other directors entitled to vote. The Company’s three corporate auditors expressed their unanimous opinion supporting the determination that the terms of the share issuances did not constitute a favorable issuance under Japanese law.

 

On September 10, 2026, the Company published an electronic public notice in Japan setting forth the approved issuance terms. An English translation of the public notice is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report. An English translation of the Amendment is furnished as Exhibit 10.1. English translations of the Cash Subscription Agreement and the DES Subscription Agreement are furnished as Exhibits 10.2 and 10.3, respectively. The foregoing descriptions of the Amendment, the Cash Subscription Agreement and the DES Subscription Agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3, respectively.
