The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.ALSOK CO.,LTD. explains that the synergies expected while Nippon Dry-Chemical remains an equity-method affiliate would be limited, and that structural constraints in the distribution channels are highly likely to be impeding the target company's expansion of its products and services. It determined that taking the company private is necessary to combine ALSOK CO.,LTD.'s security and disaster-prevention business platform with Carlyle's expertise and operational improvement know-how, thereby strengthening the human resources base and implementing medium- to long-term growth initiatives.
