Meiji Holdings told the Kanto Local Finance Bureau on September 9, 2026 that a newly incorporated dairy-sales subsidiary in Shanghai has crossed the threshold that makes it a "specified subsidiary" under Japan's Financial Instruments and Exchange Act.
The subsidiary, registered in Shanghai's Chongming District, sells dairy products and was capitalized at 652,452,138 yuan when it was set up. That sum is at least one-tenth of Meiji Holdings' own capital, the trigger that forces disclosure of a newly formed subsidiary under the cabinet ordinance governing corporate information disclosure.
Meiji holds all of the unit's registered capital, 100 percent, entirely through indirect ownership, effective from September 1, 2026. The filing also discloses the subsidiary's capital, ownership and line of business, but it does not state sales, production capacity or profitability for the new entity.
Meiji filed a second, separate document the same day: an amendment to its existing ¥100bn corporate bond shelf registration. Its sole stated purpose was to add the extraordinary report as a reference document for that bond program. The amendment does not change the shelf's ceiling, its August 2028 expiry, or any bond terms; it only registers the new disclosure as supporting material, and briefly suspended the shelf's effectiveness for the single filing day.
The filing marks Meiji's Shanghai dairy-sales unit large enough, relative to the parent's own capital base, to require public disclosure under Japan's specified-subsidiary rule.
