AEON Stores to Exit Major Lease Early, Booking HK$9.2 Million Loss

AEON Stores (Hong Kong) Co., Limited ( (HK:0984) ) has shared an announcement.

AEON Stores (Hong Kong) Co., Limited has agreed with landlord Good Focus Holdings Limited to terminate early the tenancy agreements for premises used as a retail store, handing back the site before the original lease expiry of 31 July 2027. The move will see the company dispose of right-of-use assets of about HK$17.7 million under HKFRS 16, and it expects to book an estimated loss of approximately HK$9.2 million for the year ending 31 December 2026.

Because the value of the derecognised right-of-use assets meets the thresholds under Hong Kong listing rules, the deal is classified as a major disposal and is subject to reporting, announcement, circular and shareholder approval requirements. Majority shareholder AEON Co., Ltd. has already provided written approval, allowing the company to forgo a general meeting, and a circular with further details will be sent to shareholders for information on or before 26 May 2026.
