AEON Financial Service Co.,Ltd. [8570.T]
TOKYO — AEON Financial Service Co., Ltd. announced on Monday that it has revised the effective date of its simplified merger with its wholly-owned subsidiary AFS Corporation to May 1, 2026, from the originally planned March 1, 2026.
The company had previously disclosed its intention to merge with AFS Corporation on October 31, 2025, and was preparing accordingly. The decision to change the effective date was made by the board of directors following ongoing regulatory scrutiny by the National Bank of Cambodia (NBC), which oversees AEON Specialized Bank (Cambodia) Public Limited Company, an affiliate of AFS Corporation. Due to delays anticipated in completing the necessary registration procedures in Cambodia, the company decided to push back the effective date of the merger.
According to the announcement, the merger will not have any impact on AEON Financial Service's consolidated performance as AFS Corporation is already a fully owned subsidiary. However, the company noted that further adjustments to the effective date may be required based on the progress of the remaining procedural steps. Any additional changes will be communicated promptly to stakeholders.
