AEON CO.,LTD. [8267.T]
TOKYO, Jan 7 (Reuters) - An investor group has launched a tender offer for AEON Co., Ltd. after failing to secure a 50.9% stake through an initial public offering for Tsuura Holdings Co., Ltd. (code number: 3391). The original tender was announced on December 2, 2025, and aimed to acquire ordinary shares of Tsuura Holdings under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Law.
AEON Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "the company") had previously disclosed that if the acquisition did not result in a 50.9% voting rights share, it would negotiate further with Tsuura Holdings to reach an agreement on subsequent actions. Today's announcement clarifies that due to the failure to achieve the targeted 50.9% voting rights through the initial public offering, the company has agreed with Tsuura Holdings to pursue additional market purchases of its shares to attain this threshold.
Based on the agreement reached today, AEON plans to commence purchasing Tsuura Holdings' shares via market buyouts from January 9, 2026, until April 30, 2026, continuing until the company holds enough shares to represent 50.9% of the total voting rights. Any completion of these additional acquisitions will be promptly communicated to stakeholders.
