TOKYO, Feb 19 (Pulse News Wire) – Hitachi Construction Machinery CO.,LTD. (6305.T) announced today that JIP Special Purpose Company (JIP SPC), managed by an investment fund operated by Japan Industrial Partners (JIP), has agreed to acquire its entire stake in HCJI Holdings (HCJI), the company’s largest shareholder.
Under the agreement, JIP SPC will purchase all shares held in HCJI, which owns approximately 14.89% of Hitachi Construction Machinery’s outstanding stock. Citrus Investment General Partnership (Citrus), co-owned equally with JIP SPC, had previously acquired additional shares through market transactions earlier this month. As a result, Sumitomo Corporation, which controls Citrus, is expected to hold a combined voting rights ratio of around 14.89%.
Since HCJI became a major shareholder in 2022, JIP has significantly supported Hitachi Construction Machinery’s growth strategy. While JIP will no longer be considered a substantial shareholder, the company expresses deep gratitude for their contributions. Moving forward, Hitachi Construction Machinery plans to continue collaborating closely with Sumitomo Corporation as a key partner in various aspects of its operations.
