KKR, a global investment firm, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the founding family of FUJI SOFT INCORPORATED. This agreement will help with the company’s privatization. On March 24, 2025, KKR announced an agreement. It details how FK Co., Ltd. will fully acquire FUJI SOFT in a structured way.
The plan includes a share consolidation. This will make FK and NFC Corporation the only shareholders of FUJI SOFT. The parties will support this privatization during an Extraordinary General Meeting on April 25, 2025. After the consolidation, FUJI SOFT will buy back NFC’s shares. This lets FK own 100% of the company. The share repurchase is expected to take place after early June 2025.
