Makino Milling Machine Co., Ltd. [6135.T]
TOKYO, Jan 30 (Reuters) - MM Holdings Co., Ltd. announced on Monday that it has made significant progress towards launching its tender offer for all outstanding shares of Makino Milling Machine Co., Ltd. (ticker code: 6135), excluding treasury stocks held by the target company.
The announcement comes as part of an ongoing series of updates regarding the tender offer process. In a press release dated January 30, 2026, MM Holdings stated that it had completed several key regulatory clearances necessary to proceed with the tender offer. Specifically, the company reported that it had secured antitrust and investment regulation approvals from China and the United States during the first half of January 2026. These achievements follow earlier milestones achieved in Germany, Italy, and France throughout late 2025 and early 2026.
However, MM Holdings noted that certain procedural steps remain pending, particularly concerning Japan's domestic regulations. The company emphasized its commitment to adhering to the stipulated processes set forth by relevant authorities and expressed confidence in obtaining the remaining clearance by mid-February 2026. This timeline is crucial for ensuring compliance with local laws and facilitating a smooth execution of the tender offer.
In addition to these regulatory advancements, MM Holdings reiterated that this public offering will be conducted according to procedures outlined under Japan’s Financial Instruments and Exchange Law, which may differ from those required under U.S. securities laws such as the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. As a result, potential investors should consult the official tender offer document for detailed information and adhere strictly to the terms specified therein.
