Japan Airlines to Issue Non-Voting Bond-Type Shares to Bolster Equity

Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

An update from Japan Airlines Co ( (JP:9201) ) is now available.

Japan Airlines plans to issue bond-type class shares that are treated as equity for accounting purposes but carry no voting rights and cannot be converted into common stock. The shares are non-participating and cumulative, with priority over common dividends, and are expected to be listed separately from common shares on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Prime Market.

The Series 1 bond-type class shares will pay a fixed preferred dividend for about five years before switching to a floating rate with a step-up, and Japan Airlines may redeem them for cash after that initial period. While the issuance strengthens shareholders’ equity without diluting common stock, the company does not expect these instruments to receive equity credit from rating agencies, which may limit their benefit to the firm’s credit profile.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:9201) stock is a Buy with a Yen3600.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Japan Airlines Co stock, see the JP:9201 Stock Forecast page.
