Solasto Corp. ( (JP:6197) ) has provided an update.

Solasto Corporation has approved a revolving loan facility of up to 19 billion yen from MP-2605 Co., Ltd., the entity that conducted a recent tender offer aimed at taking Solasto private. The funds will be used to repay 14.8 billion yen in existing bank borrowings and to secure 4.2 billion yen in working capital, consolidating the company’s funding sources under its new parent.

With MP-2605 expected to become Solasto’s controlling shareholder on May 18, the borrowing counts as a related-party transaction, prompting governance measures to protect minority investors. The company set loan terms by reference to market rates, excluded its CEO (who also heads the Offeror) from board deliberations, and obtained opinions from independent outside directors stating the arrangement is not disadvantageous to minority shareholders.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:6197) stock is a Hold with a Yen550.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Solasto Corp. stock, see the JP:6197 Stock Forecast page.
