Sumitomo Chemical Co ( (JP:4005) ) has issued an update.
Sumitomo Chemical and Tanaka Chemical have finalized the share exchange ratio for a simplified share exchange that will make Tanaka Chemical a wholly owned subsidiary of Sumitomo Chemical. Under the agreed terms, Sumitomo Chemical will allot 0.87 of its common shares for each Tanaka Chemical share, delivering an expected 14,028,356 Sumitomo Chemical shares, all sourced from existing treasury stock. The ratio was derived by dividing a fixed value of 424 yen by the four-day average Sumitomo Chemical share price of 486 yen as of January 16, 2026, and may be adjusted slightly if Tanaka Chemical’s treasury share position changes before completion. The transaction structure, including cancellation of Tanaka Chemical treasury shares and cash settlement of fractional Sumitomo Chemical shares, is designed to streamline full integration of Tanaka Chemical into Sumitomo Chemical’s group, strengthening control and potentially enhancing operational and strategic coordination across their chemical businesses.
The most recent analyst rating on (JP:4005) stock is a Hold with a Yen511.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Sumitomo Chemical Co stock, see the JP:4005 Stock Forecast page.
