ARE Holdings Completes $200 Million Convertible Bond-to-Equity Conversion

An announcement from ARE Holdings, Inc. ( (JP:5857) ) is now available.

ARE Holdings, Inc. has completed the exercise of its third series stock acquisition rights that were originally issued in March 2021 as part of a financing scheme tied to U.S. dollar-denominated convertible bonds. The rights were allocated to Asahi Refining USA Inc., with exercise carried out by a special purpose vehicle, resulting in the issuance of 9,315,314 shares, including 2,170,468 treasury shares.
