Strike to adopt holding company structure, establish new subsidiary

Strike Co. Ltd. announced its decision to prepare for a transition to a holding company structure through an absorption-type company split. This move, approved by the board of directors on September 19, 2025, aims to enhance group-wide management and M&A strategy, and governance. The transition is projected to be effective on April 1, 2026, pending approval at the annual general meeting of shareholders in late December 2025.

As part of this transition, Strike will establish a wholly-owned subsidiary, Strike Split Preparatory Company Ltd., on October 1, 2025. This new entity will be headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, with a capital of 10 million yen and 200 shares issued. It will focus on M&A brokerage, with Kunihiko Arai appointed as its representative director.

The new holding company will oversee group strategy, while the operating company will drive existing business growth and expand into new areas. Strike will remain listed on the TSE Prime market following the transition. Further details on the company split and post-transition structure will be announced.
