TSE:6703
OKI finished folding its ATM development and production into a venture with Hitachi on October 1, taking 60% and consolidating it, while the price of the 27,680 shares bought from Hitachi stays confidential.
Oki Electric Industry expects about ¥10bn in special retirement payments after 668 group employees applied for its second-career scheme, booked in the second quarter with the full-year consolidated forecast left unchanged.
OKI's ATM joint venture with Hitachi now has a provisional name, a Tokyo headquarters address and a president and vice-president lined up from each parent, but capital remains undecided and the October 1 launch still needs antitrust and foreign-investment clearances.
Oki Electric will transfer its ATM and automated-equipment business into Hitachi Channel Solutions for newly issued shares plus a cash-funded top-up, reaching a 60% stake from October 1, 2026, while the profit impact for the year after next stays under review.
Oki Electric Industry set no cap on how many employees aged 55 and older can take an enhanced retirement payout by October 31, 2026, only on their age and tenure, as it shifts headcount toward AI and digital-transformation work.
