Overview of SPC Establishment
Avex Inc. resolved to establish two special purpose companies (SPCs), Avex Catalog Fund 1 LLC and Avex Song Fund 1 LLC, in the U.S. in March 2026 to strengthen the management and operation of music catalogs. Both companies are planned to be established in Delaware, USA, with capital of USD 6 million each and an option to increase up to USD 50 million. These SPCs will be consolidated subsidiaries of Avex Music Group LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and will focus on managing and operating music-related rights.
Outlook and Financial Impact
The impact of this investment on consolidated results for the fiscal year ending March 2026 is expected to be minimal. Financing for music catalog acquisitions will utilize non-recourse loans from local financial institutions to control interest costs while leveraging debt. This approach enables acquisition of large music catalogs, maximizing financial returns. Additional acquisitions and new sales-related deals are also anticipated.
