Overview of Capital Policy
Sumitomo Pharma, a consolidated subsidiary of Sumitomo Chemical, resolved at its Board of Directors meeting on March 2, 2026 to register for new share issuance and applied for registration with the Kanto Local Finance Bureau. The number of shares to be issued is up to 60,000,000 shares, with a maximum issuance amount of 140 billion yen; specific issuance conditions and timing are undecided. The procured funds are intended for research and development, capital investment, financing and investments, working capital, and repayment of interest-bearing debt.
Impact on Shareholders and Future Outlook
This capital increase is expected to dilute Sumitomo Chemical’s voting rights ratio in Sumitomo Pharma, but there will be no change to its status as a consolidated subsidiary. Additionally, Sumitomo Chemical is considering refinancing borrowings without debt guarantees from Sumitomo Chemical, aiming to replace existing borrowings. These measures will strengthen the financial foundation, accelerate the execution of the growth strategy "Boost 2028," and aim to enhance corporate value over the medium to long term.
