Toyota Tsusho boosts Australian investment, subsidiary reclassified

Toyota Tsusho Corporation will inject up to A$79 million into TOYOTA TSUSHO (AUSTRALASIA) PTY. LTD. (TTALA) on December 24, 2025 (Japan time). This strategic move aims to expand mobility businesses in Australia, a region where TTALA serves as a key base for Toyota Tsusho. Following this capital increase, TTALA's capital will reach a maximum of A$80 million.

As a direct result of this additional investment, TTALA's capital will exceed 10% of Toyota Tsusho's own capital, thereby reclassifying TTALA as a "specified subsidiary." Established in September 1992, TTALA is a trading company dealing in multiple products, headquartered in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Qing Zhang currently serves as its representative director.

Toyota Tsusho directly owns 100% of TTALA's outstanding shares and dispatches two officers and employees to the subsidiary, which is involved in the sale and purchase of goods. The company anticipates that this transaction will have a minor impact on its consolidated performance and financial position for the fiscal year ending March 2026.
