The Asahi Breweries Nishinomiya-higashi Distribution Center is scheduled to end operations at around the end of 2024. The Nikka Whisky's Nishinomiya Plant, which is located on the same site, is scheduled to cease operations around March 2024. Production of the kegged Taruhai Club and Taruzume Highball on-premise market products will be transferred to Asahi Breweries' Suita Brewery. Employees at the Asahi Breweries' Nishinomiya-higashi Distribution Center and Nikka Whisky Nishinomiya Plant will be given the opportunity to transfer to other Group operations. Asahi is currently considering how to utilize the distribution center/plant site after operations cease. The impact of the End of Operations in the distribution center and plant on the Company's consolidated results in the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022 will be minimal.
