Marche Corp Adjusts Funds Raised via Rights Issue for Business Priorities

TOKYO, Jul 17 (Pulse News Wire) – Marche Corporation (7524.T) announced changes to the intended use of funds raised through a rights issue previously disclosed on May 18, 2026. The board of directors decided to reallocate some of the funds towards improving existing store profitability and expanding into new and renovated locations rather than focusing solely on growth investments.

Initially planned for expansion and investment in e-commerce and talent acquisition, the revised allocation now includes reducing expenses related to those areas and increasing funds for debt repayment. Specifically, the company plans to shift approximately ¥500 million from previous allocations to repay interest-bearing liabilities. This decision follows a thorough review of the operating environment and strategic planning.

However, the implementation of these changes is contingent upon approval from another entity, Tenposu Holding Torishimari Yaku Kai. Looking ahead, Marche anticipates ongoing adjustments to its fiscal 2027 performance projections due to these changes. Any significant impacts will be communicated promptly once evaluated.
