Strike Group's New Taiwanese Adventure

In a significant move towards expanding its global footprint, Strike Group has resolved to establish a subsidiary in Taiwan, named `台灣史特萊克股份有限公司`, during its recent board meeting. This decision underscores the company's commitment to adapting to the growing demands in international mergers and acquisitions (M&A) markets.

Strategic Growth Objectives

The primary objective behind this establishment is to solidify Strike Group's mission to "create companions that change the world." With a firm focus on M&A mediation, the group has seen a noticeable uptick in requests for its services, not only from Japanese firms but increasingly from foreign enterprises as well. This shift has prompted the company to prepare for a change to a holding company structure by April 2026, aiming to optimize support for every phase of M&A transactions and ultimately elevate its consulting capabilities internationally.

Taiwan has been identified as a pivotal market, mirroring Japan's landscape with anticipated increases in business succession and strategic M&A. Thus, the subsidiary will initiate M&A support services tailored for the Taiwanese market, setting the stage for potential business growth and expansion.

Outline of the New Subsidiary

The new subsidiary will have the following key characteristics:
1. Company Name: 台灣史特萊克股份有限公司
2. Location: 132, Section 3, Minsheng East Road, Songshan District, Taipei
3. Chairman: Kazuya Kaneda, who will also serve as Senior Managing Director of Strike Group
4. Business Activities: Focused on M&A support services
5. Capital: 20 million New Taiwan Dollars (approximately 100 million yen)
6. Establishment Date: Scheduled for October 2026
7. Equity Structure:
- Strike Group: 55%
- 日鏵國際企劃股份有限公司: 15%
- 思璀股份有限公司: 15%
- 好球管理顧問股份有限公司: 15%
8. Relationship with Parent Company: The new entity will be established as a subsidiary with a 55% stake from the parent company, and Kaneda will simultaneously hold the chairman position. Currently, there's no prior trade relationship due to its new establishment.

Timeline of Events

• - Board Resolution Date: August 21, 2026
• - Company Establishment Date: Expected in October 2026
• - Commencement of Business: Planned for November 2026

Future Outlook

The inception of this subsidiary is expected to contribute positively to the group's consolidated performance in the mid to long term. However, the impact on the consolidated results for the fiscal year ending September 2027 is projected to be minimal.

In summary, Strike Group is positioning itself not just as a key player in Japan, but as a competitive force in Taiwan's M&A market, which is poised for growth in the coming years. With its strategic investments and local presence, the company is well on its way to enhancing its service portfolio and expanding its operational horizon.
