L.P., and plans to transfer voting rights in three phases starting June 2026, at an enterprise value of 477 billion yen.

Due to the introduction of external capital into the real estate business, the consolidated earnings guidance for the fiscal year ending December 2025 has been revised.

Sapporo Holdings Limited has resolved to absorb its wholly owned subsidiary, Sapporo Breweries Limited, through an absorption-type merger and to change its trade name to "Sapporo Breweries Limited" with the effective date of July 1, 2026.
