1. Background and Purpose of Transition to Holding Company Structure
Our group has been growing with a focus on the M&A brokerage business under the mission 'Creating partners who change the world.' In response to the increasing size and complexity of deals in the domestic M&A market, as well as the growing need for strategic business restructuring by listed companies, we have transitioned to a holding company structure to balance the strengthening of group-wide governance with the deepening of expertise in each business area.
Going forward, centered on 'Strike Group Co., Ltd.,' which will handle group-wide management strategy, M&A strategy, and governance reinforcement, we will accelerate our value proposition as a 'comprehensive consulting firm' supporting all stages of M&A by spinning off and optimizing functions such as M&A brokerage, Financial Advisor (FA), and M&A strategic consulting.
Note that the listed company after the transition will be the holding company, Strike Group Co., Ltd. (Stock Code: 6196).
