Nippon Coke & Engineering (TYO:3315) is extending its 24.8 billion yen commitment line to April 2027 from April 2026 while revising financial covenants, according to a Friday filing on the Tokyo Stock Exchange.

The company is tightening its net asset requirement to at least 80% of fiscal 2026 levels, reflecting impairment losses linked to coke production restructuring and recent balance sheet trends.
