Sompo’s Digital Arm Moves to Take Nousouken Private via Tender Offer

Sompo Holdings ( (JP:8630) ) just unveiled an update.

Sompo Holdings has announced that its wholly owned digital subsidiary, Sompo Light Vortex, will launch a tender offer to acquire all outstanding common shares and share acquisition rights of Nousouken Corporation, which is listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Growth Market. The transaction is structured to ultimately make Sompo Light Vortex, together with Nousouken’s top executives and major shareholders Tomomasa Oikawa and Hiroshi Horiuchi, the sole shareholders of Nousouken and to take the company private, with tender commitments already secured from these key insiders. The move underlines Sompo’s strategy of deepening its digital technology footprint through Sompo Light Vortex and may strengthen its position in technology-enabled services, while giving Nousouken access to a larger corporate platform and more stable ownership to pursue longer-term growth initiatives outside the public markets.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:8630) stock is a Buy with a Yen5587.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Sompo Holdings stock, see the JP:8630 Stock Forecast page.
