Fuji Soft 2 shareholders 3D Investment Partners (3DIP) & Farallon Capital own 32.68% of Fuji Soft, while founder Hiroshi Nozawa & family own 18.5% shareholding. Fuji Soft was founded in 1970 by Hiroshi Nozawa. KKR (8/11/24): “With the completion of the First Tender Offer, the Offeror will become the largest shareholder of FUJI SOFT, acquiring 21,413,302 common shares (voting rights ratio: 33.86%), and share options totaling 718,600 common shares on an as-converted basis (approximately 90% of the share options existing prior to the First Tender Offer). As the Offeror will acquire more than one-third of FUJI SOFT’s voting rights, it is best positioned to work with FUJI SOFT to achieve its privatization, which the Board of Directors of FUJI SOFT have indicated to be the best measure to enhance its corporate value; further, it will no longer be possible for any other party to take the company private without the Offeror’s support.”
