The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.The purpose is to clarify the procedures that large-scale purchasers must follow, secure the information and time shareholders need to make a decision, and ensure an opportunity to negotiate with the purchaser. The Company also states that, following the founding family shareholders' tendering of their shares in the tender offer for the Company's own shares, the combined ownership ratio of the founding family and directors fell from 28.9% to 17.0%, further increasing the importance of responding to purchasers.
