Media Do Locks In ¥12.4bn, Ten-Year Loan to Retire Seven Seas Bridge Debt

Media Do has termed out a short-term bridge loan into a ¥12.4bn, ten-year facility from five banks to cover its Seven Seas Entertainment acquisition, accepting covenants on equity strength and profitability through 2036.

Media Do Co., Ltd. (TSE: 3678) told the Tokyo Stock Exchange on August 26, 2026 that its board had approved a ¥12.4bn loan agreement carrying financial covenants. The digital-content distributor will draw the loan on September 4, 2026, and repay it by August 29, 2036, a term of roughly ten years.

CollateralUnsecured
Covenant 1Maintain consolidated shareholders' equity at 75% or more of the year-earlier level
Covenant 2No consolidated ordinary loss for two consecutive fiscal periods

Five banks are lenders on the facility: Mizuho Bank, MUFG Bank, Resona Bank, Awa Bank, and Tokushima Taisho Bank. The loan is unsecured.

The money replaces a short-term bridge loan Media Do took out to fund its acquisition of Seven Seas Entertainment, LLC, disclosed in March 2026. That deal made Seven Seas a consolidated subsidiary, and the borrowing announced days later covered the interim cash needed to close it. The new ten-year loan converts that short-term debt into long-term financing.

The agreement carries two financial covenants that run for the life of the loan. Media Do must keep its consolidated shareholders' equity at 75% or more of the year-earlier level, and it must avoid posting a consolidated ordinary loss for two consecutive fiscal periods.

Media Do said the impact on its consolidated results is minor and pledged to disclose further developments promptly.
