Benefit Program\nSFP Holdings Co., Ltd. resolved at the Board of Directors meeting on April 14, 2026, to abolish the shareholder benefit program with the benefit issuance for the record date of February 28, 2026, being the last, in conjunction with the execution of an absorption-type merger agreement with Create Restaurants Holdings Inc. As a result, the shareholder benefit program will be discontinued, but already issued benefit coupons (valid until May 31, 2026, and November 30, 2026) can still be used as before at stores operated by the company and its affiliates.\n\n### Impact on Shareholders and Future Measures\nThe abolition of the shareholder benefit program is contingent upon the effectiveness of the merger, and understanding is being sought from shareholders. Existing benefit coupons are only usable at certain stores and are not valid at Create Restaurants Holdings group stores, so shareholders need to confirm the stores where the coupons can be used.","jir_financial_highlights":"","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#SFPHoldings, #ShareholderBenefitAbolishment, #GeneralIR","jir_key_figures":"Date of Shareholder Benefit Program Abolition: Record date of February 28, 2026\nBenefit Coupon Validity: May 31, 2026 and November 30, 2026\nMerger Agreement Execution Date: April 14, 2026","jir_meta_title":"SFP Holdings Resolves to Abolish Shareholder Benefit Program\uff5cApril 2026","jir_meta_description":"SFP Holdings announced the abolition of the shareholder benefit program effective for the record date of February 28, 2026.
