MOS FOOD SERVICES,INC. [8153.T]
TOKYO — MOS FOOD SERVICES, INC., represented by President and CEO Eigo Nakamura, announced on January 26, 2026, that it has decided to absorb its wholly-owned subsidiary, Mos Credit Co., Ltd., effective April 1, 2026. The merger will be conducted as a simplified merger under Article 796, Paragraph 2 of the Companies Act for MOS Food Services and as a streamlined merger under Article 784, Paragraph 1 for Mos Credit, thus eliminating the need for shareholder approval.
The purpose of this merger is to enhance operational efficiency across the group. Mos Credit currently handles financing services, insurance agency operations, and rental businesses for franchisees within the MOS Food Services Group. By integrating these functions directly into MOS Food Services, the company aims to streamline processes and improve overall business performance.
As part of the merger, MOS Food Services will become the surviving entity while Mos Credit will dissolve. No new shares or monetary compensation will be issued in connection with this merger. As of March 31, 2025, MOS Food Services had a capital stock of ¥11.412 billion and employed 503 staff members, whereas Mos Credit had a capital stock of ¥300 million and six employees. The merger is expected to have minimal impact on the consolidated earnings of MOS Food Services due to its wholly-owned status. Post-merger, there will be no changes to MOS Food Services' name, location, leadership roles, business activities, registered capital, or fiscal year-end date.
