Ltd., a Singapore-based electronic component wholesaler and distributor, thereby consolidating it as a subsidiary. Rabyte provides a diverse range of value-added services including electronic components and semiconductor supply, design proposals, and supply chain management. This acquisition aligns closely with Hakuto's medium- to long-term growth strategy. While the acquisition price remains undisclosed due to confidentiality agreements, its appropriateness has been validated by a third-party institution. The remaining 24% of shares are scheduled to be acquired by 2028.\n\n### Future Outlook\nThis share acquisition forms part of Hakuto Group's initiatives aimed at enhancing corporate value over the medium to long term. The impact on consolidated earnings is currently under review, and any effects on the consolidated earnings guidance for the fiscal year ending March 2026 will be promptly disclosed once determined. Funding for the acquisition will be procured through borrowings, with payment to be made in cash. Moving forward, collaboration with Rabyte will focus on expanding the customer base in Southeast Asia and the ANZ region, as well as joint development of new products to drive global business growth.","jir_financial_highlights":"Number of Shares Acquired: 1,140,000 shares (Post-acquisition shareholding ratio 76%)\nAcquisition Price: Undisclosed (Unknown)\nRabyte's Sales (Fiscal Year Ending March 2025): 120 million USD (18,877 million JPY) (Year-over-Year increase)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#HakutoCoLtd, #M&A, #ConsolidationAsSubsidiary, #JapaneseStocks","jir_key_figures":"Number of Shares Acquired: 1,140,000 shares (voting rights ownership ratio 76%)\nRabyte's Sales (Fiscal Year Ending March 2025): 120 million USD (18,877 million JPY)\nAcquisition Price: Undisclosed (validated by a third-party institution)","jir_meta_title":"Hakuto Co., Ltd.
