An announcement from Itochu-Shokuhin Co., Ltd. ( (JP:2692) ) is now available.

Itochu Corporation, already the controlling shareholder of Itochu-Shokuhin, has increased its ownership to about 90% of voting rights through a tender offer conducted via its wholly owned subsidiary G.K. FMDI. With this level of control, Itochu has become a special controlling shareholder under Japan’s Companies Act and has close capital, personnel and business ties with the food wholesaler.

Following the tender offer, Itochu has resolved to execute a share cash-out demand to acquire all remaining Itochu-Shokuhin shares held by minority investors and take the company private. The board of Itochu-Shokuhin has approved this move, and the company’s shares will be designated for delisting and are scheduled to be removed from trading on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Prime Market on May 19, 2026, ending public market liquidity for existing shareholders.
