GMO Internet ( (JP:9449) ) has issued an announcement.
GMO Internet Group has decided to continue its long-standing takeover defense policy governing large-scale purchases of its shares, following a review of social and economic changes, updated government guidelines on corporate takeovers, and recent court trends. The policy, reaffirmed unanimously by a board that includes external directors, will remain in effect from March 20, 2026 until after the first board meeting following the 2027 annual shareholders’ meeting.
The company emphasizes that there are no substantive changes to the existing measures and no current proposals for large-scale share purchases, framing the policy as a framework to ensure shareholders receive sufficient information from both potential acquirers and the board. By maintaining rules for large-scale purchase procedures, management aims to protect and enhance corporate value and the common interests of shareholders, particularly given the group’s complex, highly specialized internet businesses and the need for informed evaluation of any potential takeover bids.
The most recent analyst rating on (JP:9449) stock is a Hold with a Yen3204.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on GMO Internet stock, see the JP:9449 Stock Forecast page.
