The reasons the company gives

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

The Company determined that, due to changes in the business environment in the electronics sector and in TAIYO HOLDINGS CO.,LTD.'s business portfolio, the scope for business expansion through future synergies is limited. In addition, under its policy of concentrating management resources on the smart living business, the Company determined that continuing to invest capital in TAIYO HOLDINGS CO.,LTD. cannot necessarily be said to contribute to improving corporate value over the medium to long term.
