GMO TECH Holdings to list on Tokyo Stock Exchange Growth Market

GMO TECH Holdings, Inc. will be established on October 1, 2025, as a new holding company through a joint share transfer involving GMO TECH, Inc. and Design One Japan, Inc. The Tokyo Stock Exchange has approved the listing of GMO TECH Holdings on its Growth Market, with trading expected to begin on the same date.

As part of this restructuring, GMO TECH and Design One Japan will become wholly-owned subsidiaries of GMO TECH Holdings and are slated for delisting from the Tokyo Stock Exchange on September 29, 2025, with their final trading day on September 26, 2025. GMO TECH Holdings will operate under the stock code 415A, with a trading unit of 100 shares.

GMO Internet Group, led by Masatoshi Kumagai, emphasizes a "swing-by IPO" growth model. This strategy leverages group resources for startup growth and eventual listing, aiming to enhance corporate value by improving recognition, attracting talent, and strengthening management through continuous dialogue with the stock market. The impact of this listing on GMO Internet Group's consolidated earnings is expected to be minor, as GMO TECH Holdings will remain a consolidated subsidiary.
