The reasons the company gives

The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.

The company explains that it is amending the information previously disclosed because it was notified by Morimoto Masahiro (守本正宏) of a change in the number of shares to be acquired. As the acquisition will result in the acquisition of 5% or more of the voting rights, it constitutes an “act of accumulating shares prescribed by Cabinet Order as an act equivalent to a tender offer” under applicable laws and regulations, and the company is therefore making the announcement. No purpose of the acquisition itself has been disclosed.
