Daio Paper Reshapes Asset Portfolio to Deepen Capital Ties With Hokuetsu

Daio Paper Corporation ( (JP:3880) ) has issued an announcement.

Daio Paper has approved a bundled set of transactions to rebalance its capital relationship with Hokuetsu Corporation, a strategic partner with which it has already achieved cost reductions in logistics and raw material purchasing. The company plans to sell a warehouse property in Kawasaki and part of its equity interest in Chilean subsidiary Forestal Anchile to Daio Kaiun, and use these asset transfers to acquire additional Hokuetsu shares from Daio Kaiun and Misuga Kaiun.

Management expects these moves to create a more equal cross-shareholding structure with Hokuetsu, expanding the scope of their alliance and supporting long-term corporate value. To protect minority shareholders, Daio Paper set up a special committee of independent outside directors, which, supported by external financial and legal advisors and third-party real estate appraisals, evaluated the fairness, purpose, and terms of the capital strategy transactions in the context of broader asset reallocation and limited cash outlays.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:3880) stock is a Hold with a Yen1073.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Daio Paper Corporation stock, see the JP:3880 Stock Forecast page.
