TOKYO — CHIeru Co., Ltd. announced on February 16 that it has finalized an agreement to transfer its subsidiary ChiEr Communication Bridge Inc.'s (CCB) educational guidance business to Jinjibu Corporation through a series of complex transactions involving company spin-offs and mergers.
The original basic agreement was disclosed on November 17, 2025, when CHIeru's board decided to enter into negotiations with Jinjibu over the terms of transferring CCB’s educational guidance services. The final contract was signed on February 16, 2026, solidifying the deal previously outlined in interim disclosures. This transaction will see CCB undergo an absorption split, creating a new entity called Jinjibu Career Inc., which will then be transferred entirely to Jinjibu Corp.
This move is part of a strategic realignment aimed at enhancing service offerings for high school students navigating their future education and career paths. Jinjibu, known for its specialized job placement support for high school graduates, sees potential synergies with CCB’s established network of universities, colleges, and vocational schools. By integrating these resources, both companies aim to create a more comprehensive platform supporting all aspects of student progression from secondary education to higher learning and employment opportunities.
Under the terms of this arrangement, CCB will conduct an absorption split effective March 31, 2026, where it will merge with newly formed Jinjibu Career Inc. Subsequently, on April 1, 2026, Jinjibu Corp. will acquire all shares of Jinjibu Career Inc., thereby taking full control of the educational guidance business. The total value of the asset transfer is set at ¥290 million, payable in cash by Jinjibu Corp.
ChiEr Communication Bridge Inc., founded in 1967, operates out of Tokyo's Shinagawa district and specializes in organizing university entrance counseling sessions for high school students, producing educational information magazines, and providing advertising services for educational institutions and enterprises. As of March 2025, the company had assets valued at approximately ¥1.6 billion and reported sales revenue of ¥1.453 billion for the fiscal year ending March 2025.
Jinjibu Career Inc., established on January 16, 2026, as a result of the planned absorption split, will inherit all rights and obligations related to the educational guidance business. It aims to leverage CCB's extensive network of educational institutions and its expertise in managing large-scale events and publications to enhance its existing job placement services for high school graduates.
