AI Storm Establishes a New M&A Promotion Office

AI Storm Inc., previously known as Jexceed, has announced the creation of a dedicated M&A Promotion Office, effective June 22, 2026. This new division, directly overseen by President Toshio Imai, aims to streamline the process of strategic decision-making and execution within the realms of AI and IT, fostering rapid non-linear business expansion.

Background of the Establishment

In conjunction with this announcement, AI Storm has also signed a business alliance agreement with Maaap, a recognized intermediary in M&A services. Maaap specializes in M&A mediation, as well as operating matching platforms and supports for M&A processes. By merging their expertise with AI Storm's advancements in AI and digital transformation (DX), they aim to build a robust M&A promotion framework within the AI and IT sectors.

The newly formed M&A Promotion Office will be responsible for driving the company’s M&A strategy encompassing everything from planning to execution, including Post-Merger Integration (PMI) and value enhancement after acquisitions. It will act as the command center for executing the company's M&A tactics cohesively.

The Rationale Behind the New Office

With the AI market undergoing significant transformation driven by technological advancements, there is a pressing need for businesses to adopt focused strategies and reorganizations. Such changes necessitate a balance between assertive decision-making and maintaining sound governance, which is why the decision was made to have a permanent office directly supervised by the company president.

Three Main Benefits of Direct Oversight

The direct oversight of the M&A Promotion Office by the President yields three crucial benefits:

1. Speeding Up Decision-Making: This structure allows the company to make timely and informed decisions in a rapidly evolving M&A market, thus ensuring that opportunities are seized without delay.
2. Strengthening Governance and Risk Management: By having the same level of oversight as the internal audit division, this initiative aligns growth and sustainability with top-tier management.
3. Implementation of Key Policies: The management's intent and commitment will be communicated directly to the execution teams, ensuring that significant directives are executed without intermediary delays.

Future Prospects

The M&A Promotion Office is poised to become more than just a structural addition; it will serve as a permanent function enabling the execution of M&A strategies under corporate governance. By capitalizing on this new setup, AI Storm intends to proactively manage business reorganizations within the AI and IT sectors, gradually solidifying its M&A activities to enhance its operational portfolio.

In its mid-term management plan announced in April 2025, the company has already highlighted M&A and capital partnerships as key components of its financial strategy. This partnership with Maaap and the establishment of the M&A Promotion Office mark a significant turning point toward achieving those strategic goals. The company aims to translate its management resolutions and commitments into actionable outcomes, aspiring to reach a market capitalization of 50 billion yen.
