On April 25, 2024, Takeda repaid JPY 50,000 million in Bilateral Loans falling due and on the same day entered into new Bilateral Loans of JPY 50,000 million maturing on April 25, 2031(2). Following this, on June 25, 2024, Takeda issued 60-year Unsecured Hybrid Bonds with an aggregate principal amount of JPY 460,000 million and a maturity date of June 25, 2084(3).
On July 5, 2024, Takeda issued USD 3,000 million (principal amount) in Unsecured U.S. Dollar-Denominated Senior Notes with maturity dates ranging from July 5, 2034 to July 5, 2064(4). The proceeds of the USD bond issuance were efficiently deployed to fund a tender offer to redeem USD 1,500 million (principal amount) in Unsecured Senior Notes on July 12, 2024 in advance of their original maturity in September 2026(5), with the balance of proceeds deployed towards the reduction of Commercial Paper drawings in July 2024.
On October 3, 2024, Takeda drew down a Syndicated Hybrid Loan with an aggregate principal amount of JPY 40,000 million and a maturity date of October 3, 2084(6). The proceeds of the Syndicated Hybrid Loan, together with the proceeds of the Hybrid Bonds issued on June 25, 2024 were deployed towards the redemption of JPY 500,000 million (principal amount) in Hybrid Bonds issued in June 2019 on October 6, 2024, in advance of their original maturity of June 6, 2079(7).
On March 31, 2025, Takeda prepaid JPY 313,500 million and USD 1,500 million (principal amounts) in Syndicated Loans in advance of their original maturity dates ranging from April 27, 2026 to April 26, 2030(8). To repay the Syndicated Loans, Takeda used cash on hand, Short Term Loan with an aggregated principal amount of USD 500 million, which was drawn down on March 31, 2025, as well as Short Term Commercial Paper drawings. The principal amount of Commercial Paper drawings outstanding was JPY 270,000 million as at March 31, 2025(9).

In September 2019, Takeda reached an agreement on a commitment facility of JPY 700,000 million with various Japanese and non-Japanese banks. The commitment facility has a maturity of September 2026 and is available for general business use. There were no drawdowns on the JPY 700,000 million commitment facility as of March 31, 2024 and 2025, respectively.

This commitment facility contains certain financial covenants, one of which requires Takeda’s ratio of consolidated Adjusted Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA, as defined in the facility agreement, for the previous twelve-month period to not surpass certain levels as of March 31 and September 30 of each year. Takeda was in compliance with all financial covenants as of March 31, 2024 and 2025, respectively.

In 2017, Takeda entered into USD to JPY cross currency interest rate swap agreements to fix the USD to JPY cross currency interest rate for USD 925 million of the floating rate 2017 USD Syndicated Loans. In respect of the remaining USD 575 million of the floating rate 2017 USD Syndicated Loans, Takeda entered into an interest rate swap agreement to fix the applicable interest rate. Furthermore, in 2020, Takeda entered into USD to JPY cross currency interest rate swaps of USD 5,750 million in respect of USD 1,750 million of the fixed rate 2018 USD Unsecured Senior Notes and USD 4,000 million of the fixed rate 2020 USD Unsecured Senior Notes. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, cross currency interest rate swaps of USD 925 million entered in 2017 were terminated, and Takeda entered into new cross currency interest rate swaps of same amount and terms in May 2024. On March 31, 2025, all interest rate swap entered in 2017 and all cross currency interest rate swaps entered in 2024 were terminated due to the early repayment of USD Syndicated Loans of USD 1,500 million.
