TOKYO, Mar 19 (Pulse News Wire) – SAKURA Internet Inc. (3778.T) announced changes in its management structure and adjustments to its business partnership agreement with Sumitomo Corp.

Following the sale of 4,622,300 shares of SAKURA Internet's stock by Sumitomo Corp., which now holds 4,622,300 shares representing a holding ratio of 11.9%, SAKURA Internet is no longer considered a jointly controlled entity under the equity method.
