Overview of Dividend Receipt Restriction
Khan Bank, an equity-method affiliate of HS Holdings Co., Ltd., received a letter from the Bank of Mongolia on April 15, 2026, temporarily restricting dividend payments to the three major shareholders (HS Holdings, consolidated subsidiary H.S. International (Asia) Limited, and Mongolian shareholders). The restriction arises due to a legal dispute among major shareholders concerning the shareholding structure and increased uncertainty over shareholders' legal status and decision-making related to bank management as determined by court rulings.
Future Outlook and Impact
While the duration of the dividend payment restriction is unknown, if dividend receipt from Khan Bank is suspended, it may affect HS Holdings' standalone performance and the Group's cash flow for the fiscal year ending March 2027. However, since these dividends are from an equity-method affiliate, no impact on consolidated results is anticipated. Should there be any matters requiring disclosure in the future, HS Holdings will promptly inform stakeholders.
