KDDI has stopped being a major shareholder of Every, Inc., the company disclosed on August 4, 2026, after a public offering of new shares and a secondary sale of existing stock tied to Every's fresh listing on the Tokyo Stock Exchange's Growth market.
Before the offering, as of June 30, 2026, KDDI held 2,822,202 shares, or 14.38% of voting rights, making it Every's second-largest shareholder. By August 4, that holding had shrunk to 987,802 shares, or 4.76% of voting rights, dropping KDDI to fourth place on the shareholder register.
| As of | Shares held | Voting-rights share | Shareholder rank |
|---|---|---|---|
| June 30, 2026 | 2,822,202 shares | 14.38% | 2nd largest |
| August 4, 2026 | 987,802 shares | 4.76% | 4th largest |
The dilution reflects two forces at once: Every issued new shares through the public offering, which by itself lowers every existing holder's percentage even if share counts stay flat, and KDDI also sold part of its existing stake in the accompanying secondary offering. Total shares outstanding rose from 19,632,808 to 20,738,108 over the same window, consistent with the new-share issuance.
Every's filing states that the shift carries no impact on its management structure or earnings. The notice does not address whether KDDI plans to sell down further or retain its remaining stake as a passive investor, nor does it name KDDI's reasons for participating in the secondary sale beyond the listing mechanics described above.
