H2O Retailing Corporation will sell 5 million shares of TOHO Co., Ltd. through ToSTNeT-3, reducing its stake from 4.23% to 3.63% while maintaining its cooperative relationship within the Hankyu Hanshin Toho Group. The move aligns with its 2024–2026 mid-term plan to trim strategic shareholdings, control total assets and equity, and improve capital efficiency.
