to a legal dispute among major shareholders of Khan Bank, dividend payments have been temporarily restricted, which may impact HS Holdings' standalone performance and cash flow for the fiscal year ending March 2027.","jir_summary":"### Overview of Dividend Receipt Restriction\nKhan 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.\n\n### Future Outlook and Impact\nWhile 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.","jir_financial_highlights":"Dividend Payment Restriction: Unknown (Temporarily restricted)\nImpact Period: Unknown (Duration unknown)\nImpact on Fiscal Year Ending March 2027 Performance: Unknown (Potential impact)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#HSHoldings, #DividendRestriction, #IR","jir_key_figures":"Start Date of Dividend Payment Restriction: 2026-04-15\nAffected Parties: Three major shareholders of Khan Bank\nImpact Period: Unknown (duration undecided)","jir_meta_title":"\u3010HS Holdings\u3011Notice of Restriction on Dividend Receipt from Khan Bank \uff5c April 2026","jir_meta_description":"HS Holdings announces temporary restriction on receiving dividends from equity-method affiliate Khan Bank due to legal disputes.
