Seven Bank, Ltd. ( (JP:8410) ) has shared an update.

Seven Bank has reclassified trading house ITOCHU Corporation as an “other related company” after ITOCHU’s voting stake in the bank rose above 20 percent, following a previously announced capital and business alliance and a third-party allotment of treasury shares. ITOCHU, a major general trading company with diversified global operations spanning textiles, machinery, metals, energy, chemicals, food, ICT and finance, now holds 20.00 percent of Seven Bank’s voting rights, up from 16.60 percent, strengthening its status as a key shareholder. While the financial impact on Seven Bank’s earnings for the current and future fiscal years remains undetermined, the bank plans to leverage the alliance and ITOCHU’s resources to accelerate its strategy of becoming a common financial services platform operator for the convenience store industry, a move that could enhance its competitive position and service reach in Japan’s retail finance market.
