The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.The company determined that the transaction could result in significant dissynergies, including the suspension or reduction of transactions with mass retailers, the loss of existing consumers and employees, delays in the development of the B2B business and high-value-added products, and damage to the regional supply chain. It also determined that the synergies claimed by ジャパネット, including expanded sales, the transfer of manufacturing and logistics integration, lacked sufficient support demonstrating their feasibility and effects. The company therefore concluded that continuing independent management and implementing its medium-term management plan would contribute to corporate value and the common interests of shareholders.
