Fast Fitness Japan Incorporated [7092.T]
TOKYO — Fast Fitness Japan Incorporated announced on Monday that its board supports and recommends shareholders tender their shares as part of a share consolidation plan aimed to streamline operations and enhance shareholder value. The company's president, Seimei Yamabe, stated that this move is a key component of a broader strategy outlined by JG35, an entity formed specifically to acquire and manage the company’s equity.
According to the announcement, the special shareholders' meeting will be convened on March 19, 2026, following a resolution made during the board meeting held today. This meeting will consider proposals related to share consolidation and the abolition of minimum trading units, along with partial amendments to the articles of incorporation. These changes aim to facilitate smoother operational processes and align with strategic objectives set forth by JG35.
In addition, the company disclosed that its ordinary shares will temporarily meet delisting criteria under Tokyo Stock Exchange regulations from March 19 through April 19, 2026. As such, the stock will be designated as a "delisted issue" before being officially delisted on April 20, 2026. Following this process, trading of Fast Fitness Japan's shares on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Prime Market will no longer be possible.
Furthermore, the company highlighted its growth trajectory since inception in May 2010 when it established itself as the master franchisee for Anytime Fitness, LLC in Japan. By September 2025, Fast Fitness Japan had expanded to operate 1,217 fitness centers across the country, positioning itself second globally only behind the United States in terms of store count under the Anytime Fitness brand. Despite facing increasing competition, particularly among low-cost competitors, the company has maintained steady growth in both membership and store numbers, reaching over one million members by the end of September 2025.
Moreover, Fast Fitness Japan emphasized its commitment to expanding internationally, especially in Germany where it holds a strong market presence despite high competition from existing players. The company aims to leverage its accumulated expertise in store management and development to capitalize on potential growth opportunities abroad, positioning international expansion as a secondary driver for future growth alongside domestic operations.
