Introduction

In a significant organizational shift, THE WHY HOW DO COMPANY, headquartered in Shinjuku, Tokyo, has launched the M&A Strategy Headquarters. This initiative aims to actualize the recently announced "M&A Assurance Declaration," which underscores the company's commitment to a people-centered approach to mergers and acquisitions (M&A).

Purpose of the Reorganization

The company believes that M&A transactions encompass much more than financial figures. They represent a critical aspect of preserving the dignity of managers, pride of employees, and the bonds with customers. To support this belief, the newly formed M&A Strategy Headquarters will work on long-term M&A that does not primarily focus on selling but instead addresses the pressing issue of succession planning for the nation's 1.27 million companies lacking successors.

Overview of the M&A Strategy Headquarters

The M&A Strategy Headquarters has set forth several missions to ensure effective deployment of the promises outlined in the M&A Assurance Declaration. This includes moving away from traditional finance-centered M&A activities to a more humanitarian approach dubbed "Assistance M&A."

Key Missions

• - Identification and execution of strategic M&A projects.
• - Nationwide support for business succession based on the M&A Assurance Declaration.
• - Enhancing corporate value through group synergies.
• - Formulating and executing investment strategies aimed at achieving the mid-to-long term goal of achieving an EBITDA of 1 billion yen.

The Five Promises of M&A Assurance Declaration

1. Principle of long-term holding without the intent to sell.
2. Succession of corporate culture and employment.
3. Creation of synergies across the entire group.
4. Respect for management autonomy.
5. Support for companionship through a grassroots approach.

Future Prospects

With the establishment of the M&A Strategy Headquarters, THE WHY HOW DO COMPANY aims to translate its philosophy articulated in the M&A Assurance Declaration into concrete actions. The goal is to contribute to the resolution of challenges faced by companies across Japan that are suffering from a lack of successors. Through organized dialogues initiated by the M&A team, the firm seeks to revitalize local economies and foster Japan's overall societal rejuvenation.
