On March 31, 2026, Takeda repaid JPY 75,000 million in Bilateral Loans falling due and on the same day entered into new Bilateral Loans of JPY 60,000 million maturing on March 31, 2034(9).

These commitment facilities are effective from March 31, 2026 for five years at minimum and contain certain restrictive covenants, the breach of which may limit our ability to access these facilities. Takeda was in compliance with the covenants as of March 31, 2026. The purpose of the new facilities is for general business use. In connection with these new facilities, Takeda’s existing commitment facility of JPY 700,000 million expiring in September 2026 was cancelled on the same date.
