Japan Tech & Telecom Company News (Page 14)

Earnings, deals and disclosures from Japan's listed tech & telecom companies, in English.

  1. Bplats seeks up to ¥746,097,710 in resettable warrants, with related directors recusing themselves

    Bplats plans to allot 20,051 seventh stock acquisition rights to a fund managed by Growth Partners, with a headline gross raise of ¥746,097,710 and a fixed cap of 2,005,100 new shares. Only ¥2,205,610 is paid at issuance, while the exercise price starts at ¥371 and can reset from June 16 to 90% of the previous day's close, subject to a ¥164 floor. The dilution ceiling is clear enough, but the cash haul depends on investors actually exercising. Bplats is trying to fund a balance sheet that already looks strained: it says it booked a ¥767,298,000 software impairment, a ¥925,575,000 net loss and negative net assets at the end of March 2026. Net proceeds are earmarked at ¥552 million for operating funds and ¥186 million for debt repayment, while a bondholder that had gained an early-redemption right after a covenant breach agreed not to use it. Two directors recused themselves from the board vote because one is a lender due to be repaid and another runs the manager tied to the allottee fund. Bplats has bought itself time and a backer. Whether it gets the full money now depends on the market.

  2. G-Medical Net enters supervised review while its Standard market move is assessed

    The company said it could not confirm compliance with the Growth market's market-capitalisation maintenance standard by the end of its improvement period, so the stock will be designated under review from June 1. Trading is set to continue while Tokyo Stock Exchange assesses its application to move to the Standard market, which the company says it meets on its own calculations.

  3. Axelmark’s ¥3.9bn plan would make Convano both parent and lender

    Axelmark wants Convano to buy 45 million new shares at ¥20 for a ¥900 million equity injection and provide a commitment-type term loan facility of up to ¥3 billion. If the package closes on July 2, Convano would become parent and controlling shareholder with 68.91% of voting rights, dilution would run to 221.53% against shares outstanding and 221.60% against voting rights, and several proposed board nominees would come from Convano's orbit.

  4. coly delays Disney Sparkle Link Stars to third-quarter launch window

    Disney Sparkle Link Stars moved from the first half of the year ending January 2027 to the third quarter, with management citing extra development and review time to improve quality. The company is still reviewing the effect on results.

  5. BlueMeme plans October carve-out to turn listed parent into a holding company

    BlueMeme plans to move its low-code and agile DX business into a wholly owned subsidiary on Oct. 1, rename the listed parent BlueMeme Group and let the operating unit take the BlueMeme name, provided shareholders approve the plan on June 26 and required clearances arrive. The company says the restructure is meant to address delays in disclosure and internal-management issues, while the impact on consolidated results should be minor because the business is staying inside the group.

  6. Oricon zeros next March dividend if buyout succeeds, tying payout to ¥1,332 tender

    What changed: Oricon cut its year-end dividend forecast for the year ending March 2027 to zero, but only if Media's tender offer succeeds. That replaces the ¥36 payout it forecast on May 8, and the board is also recommending that shareholders tender into the offer. The terms: The offer opens on May 29 and runs through July 9 at ¥1,332 a share, with settlement due to start on July 16. The bidder says it expects to buy 8,211,375 tender-eligible shares, subject to a 3,903,300-share minimum and no upper cap. The path from here: Oricon says the transaction is meant to take the company private and lead to delisting. It is also letting its takeover-response policy expire at the close of the June 25 annual meeting rather than renew it. The catch: The zero dividend is tied to the tender succeeding, and the disclosure does not say what payout would apply if the offer fails. If the tender does not acquire all eligible shares, the bidder says it plans a follow-on share consolidation that would cash out remaining minorities at the same ¥1,332 per-share price, subject to later approvals.

  7. BlueMeme trims profit outlook as hiring push and outsourcing squeeze margins

    BlueMeme barely changed revenue guidance for the year ending March 2026, trimming it to ¥3,299 million from ¥3,300 million. Profit took the hit instead: operating profit is now seen at ¥125 million versus ¥150 million, ordinary profit at ¥130 million versus ¥150 million, and net profit attributable to parent shareholders at ¥83 million versus ¥100 million. Management blamed heavier operating expenses from engineer recruitment, outsourced support while new hires are still in training, and higher hiring costs. The company also says the figures remain unaudited estimates, and its June 26 annual meeting will need a continuation session because audit procedures on the year's accounts are not yet complete.

  8. SpiderPlus alliance with InforMart starts with founder selldown and control shift

    The move: SpiderPlus will pair SPIDER+ with InforMart's BtoB Platform TRADE after founder Kenji Ito agreed to sell 1.8 million shares to InforMart for ¥523.8 million. The catch: Ito stays the largest shareholder but would lose controlling-shareholder status, and InforMart gains options that could lift its stake later. Separately, SpiderPlus said it will suspend operations at its Vietnam subsidiary, with only a minor earnings impact expected.

  9. Hikari Tsushin lifts JRC stake to 7.57% after 60 days of buying

    The latest large-shareholding report shows Hikari Tsushin and a joint holder owning 993,300 JRC shares, or 7.57%, after the stake climbed more than 1 percentage point from the prior filing.

  10. G-Beemap deepens year-end loss after pulling forward inventory write-down

    The catch: booking a ¥36,237 thousand impairment on slow-moving communications equipment widened the year-ended March 2026 net loss to ¥151,553 thousand from ¥115,316 thousand and cut net assets to ¥502,808 thousand. Because the charge was brought forward from later periods, the next year's profit guide improved even with sales guidance unchanged at ¥1,900 million.

  11. ZUU plans to wipe out capital reserve and move 864.6 million yen into retained earnings

    The company will ask shareholders to approve a capital reserve reduction and retained-earnings transfer on June 24. ZUU says the move is an internal accounting shift with no performance impact, and it also disclosed a new fund subsidiary plus board nominees the same day.

  12. SHIFT drops Secure One and pulls cyber units straight into the parent

    SHIFT rewrote a March merger plan so the parent will absorb SHIFT SECURITY, KRAF and MAS Lab directly, while separately centralizing 15 group back offices and having ALH absorb SPST and Trust Brain as part of an efficiency and AI-enabled operations push.
