Gakken Holdings Co., Ltd. ( (JP:9470) ) has shared an update.
Gakken Holdings Co., Ltd. and online education player RareJob, Inc. have signed a simplified share exchange agreement under which RareJob will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Gakken on July 31, 2026, subject to RareJob shareholder approval. RareJob’s shares will be delisted from the Tokyo Stock Exchange Standard Market on July 29, 2026, consolidating the pair’s existing capital and business alliance into full ownership.
The deal is aimed at accelerating Gakken’s digital strategy in English learning and reskilling by integrating its educational IP and network with RareJob’s EdTech capabilities and online English platforms, from junior to business-level learners. By moving beyond an equity-method affiliate structure, Gakken expects to remove constraints on data sharing and strategic investment, enabling faster decision-making, deeper collaboration and greater operational synergies in a highly competitive, technology-driven education market.
