DNT Zhejiang is located in Pinghu City, Zhejiang Province, and owns a state-of-the-art factory of approximately 22,000\u33a1. The acquisition price is undisclosed but agreed at a fair and reasonable price. The transfer of rights and obligations is scheduled for 2026-06-30, with share transfer execution planned for late July.\n\n### Future Outlook and Impact\nThe impact of this acquisition on consolidated earnings for the fiscal year ending March 2026 is expected to be minor. Despite consecutive losses over the past three years, DNT Zhejiang aims to return to profitability as a subsidiary of the Chugoku Marine Paints Group from the fiscal year ending March 2027 onward. This acquisition is expected to strengthen and stabilize production capacity more quickly and with lower investment than constructing a new factory.","jir_financial_highlights":"Acquisition Stake Ratio: 100.0% (Increase from 0.0% before acquisition)\nDNT Paints (Zhejiang) Co., Ltd.
