TOKYO, Jul 03 (Pulse News Wire) – Joyful Honda CO.,LTD. (3191.T) and ARKLANZ Co., Ltd.

Have decided to postpone the schedule for forming their joint holding company due to accounting irregularities discovered at ARKLANZ's subsidiary PETTSFU. The companies previously aimed to complete the formation process by March 1, 2027, but now all key dates are undetermined pending further investigation.

JOYFUL HONDA and ARKLANZ will continue discussions to finalize the revised timeline and conditions for their integration, aiming to announce updated schedules promptly upon reaching decisions.
