Since their capital and business alliance in February 2020, the two companies have used their strengths. These include domain knowledge, sales networks, advanced technologies, and skilled staff. They have succeeded in system development, especially in areas like banking and insurance.
To boost corporate value and increase stock liquidity, both companies agreed to end their cross-shareholdings. This decision ends their capital and business alliance. They will work together in a more flexible business alliance. This transition seeks to boost agile teamwork. It also aims to deepen efforts for shared sustainable growth and create new value. This is supported by their strong trust and history of successful partnerships.
Financial Impact
The end of the capital alliance and the sale of ITFOR shares should lead to a gain from the sale of securities. This gain will be considered an extraordinary profit. The final amount and timing will depend on the market price at sale. However, if we look at a sale using the closing price from June 27, 2025, the estimated gain would be around 85 million yen. Any developments requiring disclosure will be announced without delay.
