Separately, AVANTIA will absorb two wholly owned subsidiaries, a Shizuoka-based unit and Fukuoka-based Next-Life-Design. As a simplified and short-form merger, it requires no shareholder vote, and no new shares or cash will be issued. The company said the impact on earnings will be minor.
Next steps: Year-end dividend payments begin Nov. 11, 2026, and the annual shareholders' meeting is scheduled for Nov. 27. The merger is set to take effect Dec. 1, and the buyback runs until Jan. 29, 2027.
