TOKYO, Mar 09 (Pulse News Wire) – GMO Internet,inc. (4784.T) entered an improvement period aimed at conforming to Tokyo Stock Exchange listing standards after failing to meet the distribution criteria as of December 31, 2025.
According to the company's statement, its free float ratio stood at 7.7%, far below the required 35%. As a result, the company now faces a deadline of December 31, 2026, to rectify the situation. To address this issue, GMO Internet plans to gradually implement measures such as selling shares held by corporate shareholders, including its parent company GMO Internet Group (9449.T).
The company also intends to enhance transparency through regular quarterly earnings releases and supplementary materials posted on its website. Additionally, efforts will focus on diversifying investor communication channels, including video uploads and live Q&A sessions during earnings calls. Failure to meet the standards by the end of the improvement period could lead to further regulatory actions.
If the company does not achieve conformity by December 31, 2026, it risks being designated as a delisting candidate stock, potentially resulting in delisting as early as July 1, 2027.
