Notice of Repayment of Borrowings

SFP Holdings Co., Ltd. has partially repaid the borrowing on February 28, 2022, as shown below.

1. Reason for the repayment

We made short-term borrowings from March to May 2020 to increase liquidity on hand, as the impact of the outbreak of COVID-19 on our business was uncertain. Thereafter, sales declined temporarily due to requests from governments and local governments to suspend operations and shorten operating hours with each intermittent epidemic. At the same time, we have reduced fixed costs and closed unprofitable outlets to improve our earnings structure. Meanwhile, we have been able to curb cash outflows by applying for employment adjustment subsidies and subsidy for shorter operating hours. Although there remains uncertainty about future trends related to COVID-19, we have decided to repay the funds that we judge to be surplus in light of financial balance, working capital needs, and investments for regrowth.
