Going forward, Denka aims to expedite management decisions and promote business restructuring at Toyo Styrene while strengthening competitiveness by incorporating technology and recycling technologies within the Denka Group. The impact on consolidated financial results and financial position is currently being examined and will be promptly disclosed as necessary.","jir_financial_highlights":"Number of shares acquired: 15,000 shares (Ownership ratio increased from 15.0% to 65.0%)\nAcquisition price: Undisclosed (Negotiated and agreed at a reasonable price)\nToyo Styrene sales (Fiscal year ending March 2025): 48,394 million yen (Undisclosed)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#DenkaCompanyLimited, #M&A, #Subsidiarization, #JapaneseStocks","jir_key_figures":"Number of shares acquired: 15,000 shares (15.0%)\nNumber of shares owned after change: 65,000 shares (65.0%)\nToyo Styrene sales (Fiscal year ending March 2025): 48,394 million yen","jir_meta_title":"Denka Company Limited Decides to Acquire 15,000 Shares of Toyo Styrene and Make It a Consolidated Subsidiary","jir_meta_description":"On March 9, 2026, Denka Company Limited announced the acquisition of 15,000 shares of Toyo Styrene Co., Ltd. from Daicel Corporation, raising its ownership ratio to 65.0% and making it a consolidated subsidiary.
