Offer price is 795 yen, period is 30 business days, lower limit of shares to be acquired is 5,408,800 shares. With Mr. Takashi Arai as the largest shareholder, post-tender organizational restructuring and voting rights ratio are expected to be 49.00% for the tenderer and 51.00% for Mr. Arai. Several important agreements, including the treatment of the Taiwan subsidiary, are listed together.\n\n### Fairness assurance and equal treatment\nA Special Committee is established, with multiple independent financial advisors and third-party valuation firms (AGS FAS, PwC Advisory) obtaining equity value assessments. Using market price method, comparable listed company method, and DCF method as bases, the premium level is deemed reasonable. The majority-of-minority concept is not adopted. However, given Mr. Arai's 48.80% stake, independent committee has been established to address concerns about MBO-like aspects.","jir_financial_highlights":"Proposed tender offer price: 795 \u5186 (Unknown)\nLower limit of tendered shares: 5,408,800 \u682a (Unknown)\nTender offer period: 2026 \u5e74\uff18\u6708 27 \u65e5\u301c 2026 \u5e74 10 \u6708 13 \u65e5 (Unknown)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#Seed, #TOB, #M&A, #CapitalPolicy","jir_key_figures":"\u672c\u516c\u958b\u8cb7\u4ed8\u4fa1\u683c: 795 \u5186\n\u8cb7\u4ed8\u4e88\u5b9a\u6570\u306e\u4e0b\u9650: 5,408,800 \u682a\n\u671f\u9593: 2026 \u5e74 8 \u6708 27 \u65e5\u301c 2026 \u5e74 10 \u6708 13 \u65e5","jir_meta_title":"Seed \u2014 Notice of Tender Offer Start | August 2026","jir_meta_description":"Luxshare initiates TOB for Seed.
