TOKYO, Jan 07 (Pulse News Wire) – Cosmos Initia CO.,LTD. (8844.T) announced today that its board of directors resolved to acquire additional shares of WOOCS Corporation, making it a consolidated subsidiary and gradually achieving full subordination.
The move aims to enhance synergy and streamline decision-making processes between the two companies. WOOCS Corporation, established in September 2008, operates rental office services, coworking space management, residential property management, renovation projects, and real estate brokerage businesses. As of December 2025, WOOCS had a capital of ¥92.5 million. Major shareholders include President Taiyuu Sakabe with a holding ratio of 50.6%, Cosmos Initia with 33.0%, Director Shinno Kinue with 11.9%, and another individual shareholder with 4.5%. In recent years, WOOCS reported net assets of ¥954,145 thousand, ¥1,249,518 thousand, and ¥1,249,518 thousand for fiscal years ending February 2023, 2024, and 2025, respectively. Revenue increased from ¥5,964,181 thousand in FY2023 to ¥6,779,540 thousand in FY2025, while operating profit rose from ¥452,162 thousand in FY2024 to ¥452,162 thousand in FY2025.
The share acquisition will proceed in two stages. In the first phase, Cosmos Initia plans to acquire a stake of 33.7%, followed by a further acquisition of 33.3% in the second phase. Post-acquisition, the holding ratios will stand at 66.7% after the first stage and 100.0% after the second stage. The transaction price will remain confidential but will be below a certain threshold based on the latest consolidated net asset value and standalone net asset value. The acquisitions are scheduled to take place in late February 2026 for the first phase and late March 2027 for the second phase, subject to approval from the Japan Fair Trade Commission. Cosmos Initia expects the deal to have a minor impact on its fiscal year.
