INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS REPORT ON FORM 6-K

 

On May 31, 2024, Pixie Dust Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) reached an agreement with The Shoko Chukin Bank, Ltd. (the “Lender”) to obtain new debt financing (the “New Debt”) in the amount of one billion yen. The maturity date of New Debt is September 30, 2025. The foregoing description of the New Debt is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the New Debt, a copy of which is attached hereto at Exhibit 10.1, and the terms of which are incorporated by reference.

 

The Company previously announced on February 26, 2024 that the Company and the Lender entered into an agreement to amend that certain Loan Agreement, dated as of March 22, 2019 (the “Prior Debt”) by and between the Company and the Lender to extend the maturity date thereunder from February 29, 2024 to May 31, 2024. The Company expects to refund the Prior Debt in full in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Prior Debt. As a consequence, the Company anticipates that entry into the New Debt will have no material impact on the Company’s cash position.

 

The Company also expects to obtain additional debt financing from other financial institutions in Japan. Once the Company has reached any agreements with such financial institutions, the Company will provide additional information to its stockholders as part of its ongoing public company reporting obligations.
