LEIFRAS Co., Ltd. Sets Pricing for Its Initial Public Offering, to Boost Community Sports

LEIFRAS Co., Ltd. IPO Announcement

LEIFRAS Co., Ltd., a company focused on youth sports and community engagement, has officially announced its initial public offering (IPO) pricing. With a commitment to enhancing youth sports, the firm aims to leverage this financial opportunity to expand its operations. This significant event took place on October 8, 2025, ahead of their expected trading start on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker symbol 'LFS' on October 9.

The company plans to offer 1,250,000 American Depositary Shares (ADSs) priced at $4.00 each, with the hope of raising about $5 million before accounting for underwriting fees and offering expenses. This funding will play a pivotal role in several key areas:
1. The recruitment of full-time staff to enhance the reach of its sports schools.
2. Growth investments in sports facilities and additional staffing for programs.
3. Development of its social business to foster community health and inclusivity.
4. General working capital needs essential for supporting day-to-day operations.

Additionally, LEIFRAS has given underwriters the option to acquire an extra 187,500 ADSs to cover over-allotments at the public offering price. This strategic move allows flexibility and ensures a comprehensive financial plan leading into the market.

A registration statement related to this offering has been filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and received approval on September 29, 2025. Interested investors can obtain the prospectus through multiple channels, including direct requests to Kingswood Capital Partners or via the SEC’s website.

LEIFRAS is not just a business; it's a beacon of hope for youth sports. Founded in Tokyo, the company emphasizes nurturing non-cognitive skills through innovative sports education, catering to children's physical and emotional development. As of late 2024, LEIFRAS emerged as one of Japan's major children's sports school operators, recognized for its commitment to enhancing community health and social inclusion through sports.

With its holistic teaching approach of 'acknowledge, praise, encourage, and motivate,' LEIFRAS is not only shaping the future of sports education but also addressing wider community needs. By dispatching coaches to underserved areas, the organization merges sports and social impact, creating a stronger community fabric where physical activity is not just encouraged but made accessible to all.

The firm anticipates that the IPO will close around October 10, 2025, pending standard closing conditions being met. This transformative step signifies LEIFRAS's definitive arrival on the public stage, placing it on a trajectory for impactful growth and expansion in both the youth sports and social sectors.

As they move forward, investors and the community are invited to track LEIFRAS’s journey closely. The company expresses its commitment to transparency and encourages interested parties to review additional filings with the SEC to understand the full scope of operations and growth opportunities.
