Bunka Shutter Co.,Ltd. [5930.T]
TOKYO, May 14 (Pulse News Wire) – Bunka Shutter CO.,LTD. (5930.T) plans to seek shareholder approval at its upcoming annual general meeting scheduled for June 17, 2026, to activate anti-takeover measures against the Dalton group should they engage in large-scale share acquisitions without adhering to established procedures.
The proposal follows concerns raised during multiple dialogues with institutional shareholders regarding potential conflicts of interest and damage to long-term corporate value. In recent months, the Dalton group, which holds approximately 14.84% of Bunka Shutter's shares, has shown intentions to further accumulate shares despite lacking clear objectives. Additionally, the group has repeatedly proposed management buyouts (MBOs) aimed at privatizing the company, raising suspicions of self-interest-driven actions detrimental to shareholder interests.
Moreover, evidence suggests the Dalton group’s past behavior with other companies aligns with similar aggressive tactics involving large-scale share purchases followed by MBO proposals. Such activities often result in significant financial burdens through leveraged buyout loans, potentially undermining the company's growth prospects and overall value. Given these circumstances, Bunka Shutter believes there is a high likelihood of the Dalton group disregarding agreed-upon procedures and pursuing harmful takeovers.
Therefore, the company seeks preemptive authorization from shareholders to implement protective measures designed to safeguard long-term corporate value and collective shareholder benefits.
