Shareholders backed cuts of ¥96.4mn in capital and ¥324.3mn in capital reserve, with ¥420.7mn then moved to retained earnings to offset losses. Useful distinction: this is equity reclassification, not fresh cash.
Bplats plans to allot 20,051 seventh stock acquisition rights to a fund managed by Growth Partners, with a headline gross raise of ¥746,097,710 and a fixed cap of 2,005,100 new shares. Only ¥2,205,610 is paid at issuance, while the exercise price starts at ¥371 and can reset from June 16 to 90% of the previous day's close, subject to a ¥164 floor. The dilution ceiling is clear enough, but the cash haul depends on investors actually exercising. Bplats is trying to fund a balance sheet that already looks strained: it says it booked a ¥767,298,000 software impairment, a ¥925,575,000 net loss and negative net assets at the end of March 2026. Net proceeds are earmarked at ¥552 million for operating funds and ¥186 million for debt repayment, while a bondholder that had gained an early-redemption right after a covenant breach agreed not to use it. Two directors recused themselves from the board vote because one is a lender due to be repaid and another runs the manager tied to the allottee fund. Bplats has bought itself time and a backer. Whether it gets the full money now depends on the market.
