An announcement from RareJob,Inc. ( (JP:6096) ) is now available.
Gakken Holdings and online education provider RareJob have signed a share exchange agreement under which RareJob will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Gakken on July 31, 2026, pending RareJob shareholder approval. As part of the transaction, RareJob shares will be delisted from the Tokyo Stock Exchange Standard Market on July 29, 2026, following a prior capital and business alliance that saw Gakken acquire over 20% of RareJob and begin operational collaboration.
The deal is intended to remove structural constraints of their current affiliate relationship, enabling faster decision-making, larger strategic investments, and deeper data sharing to strengthen their position in English learning, recurrent education, and reskilling. Both groups expect high synergies by combining Gakken’s educational IP and nationwide network with RareJob’s EdTech and online English platforms, enhancing competitiveness amid a shrinking school-age population in Japan and intensifying global competition.
