Sumitomo Riko amends tender offer details, adjusting share ownership figures

Sumitomo Riko Company Limited has issued an amendment to its "Notice Concerning Opinion in Favor of Tender Offer for the Company's Stock by Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd., the Controlling Shareholder of the Company and Recommendation to Tender." The correction primarily revises the number of shares and associated ownership percentages held by the Offeror Group and its subsidiaries and affiliates, as well as the number of voting rights.

The amended figures indicate that the Offeror Group now holds 52,755,370 shares (ownership ratio: 50.81%) of Sumitomo Riko's stock. Previously, this figure was 52,755,324 shares. Minor adjustments were also made to the indirect ownership of shares through Sumiden Shoji Co., Ltd., specifically from 31,246 shares to 31,292 shares. The revised details further reflect updated voting rights data from 8,563 to 8,564 for specially related parties before the purchase and a change in the total indirectly owned shares by the offeror's subsidiaries from 1,220,423 shares to 1,220,469 shares.

These corrections stem from updated information following the submission of semi-annual securities reports and a confirmation of shareholdings by specially related parties, ensuring accuracy in the tender offer documentation. The adjustments do not alter the core terms of the tender offer.
