World Co. to reorganize business, adjust capital reserves

World Co., Ltd. will implement a significant group reorganization, effective March 1, 2026, aimed at establishing B2C and B2B as primary business segments. This involves transferring B2C-related subsidiary shares and managerial administration functions to World Brands Co., Ltd., a new intermediate holding company with 5 million yen capital, founded November 19, 2025. Concurrently, B2B operations will centralize under World Solutions Co., Ltd., with a corporate name change effective March 1, 2026, and a capital of 30 million yen.

The reorganization includes three absorption-type mergers between subsidiaries to eliminate business redundancy and integrate B2C business functions. Additionally, World will transfer its overseas wholesale business from a subsidiary to itself to enhance competitiveness. As part of these changes, World Co., Ltd. also resolved to decrease capital reserves by the amount that will increase from a share exchange with Right-On Co., Ltd. (effective March 1, 2026), transferring it to other capital surplus, with no impact on net assets.

The company anticipates negligible effects on consolidated business performance for the fiscal year ending February 2027, projecting that the reorganization will significantly boost corporate value over the medium and long term by streamlining decision-making and optimizing resource allocation.
