Seven & i Holdings completes spin-off, reinvests in former subsidiaries

Seven & i Holdings Co., Ltd. announced on September 1, 2025, the completion of its business transfer through an absorption-type split at its subsidiary. This action involved transferring head office and subsidiary management functions of 29 companies, comprising 22 consolidated subsidiaries and 7 equity-method affiliates from YORK Holdings Co., Ltd. (YORK HD) to K.K. BCJ-96 (SPC (2)), an acquisition purpose company established by Bain Capital Private Equity, L.P. SPC (2) has since changed its trade name to "YORK Holdings Co., Ltd."

Following the absorption-type split, Seven & i Holdings completed a planned reinvestment in SPC (1), increasing its shareholding ratio to 35.07%. This move aligns with the company's previously announced commitment to business portfolio transformation aimed at unlocking shareholder value. The SST Business Group, including Ito-Yokado and York-Benimaru, has now transitioned into equity-method affiliates of Seven & i Holdings.
