Notification of Change in Consolidated Subsidiary (Transfer of Shares and Holdings)
Jan 5, 2018 | Recruit Holdings Co., Ltd.
Recruit Holdings Co., Ltd. (the "Company") announces that it decided today to transfer the shares of its consolidated subsidiaries, Travel Book Philippines, Inc. ("TB"), PT. Go Online Destinations ("PG") and MyTour Vietnam Company Limited ("MT"), as follows.
1. Reason for transfer of shares
To realize growth in the Company's Overseas Marketing Solutions, the Company's strategy is to verify the effectiveness of the knowhow developed in the domestic business at companies made into subsidiaries and to raise the value of those subsidiaries by leveraging the knowhow.
Under this strategy, the Company made companies which engage in online travel agency services in the ASEAN region, namely TB in the Philippines in 2014, and PG in Indonesia and MT in Vietnam in 2015, its subsidiaries, and has since worked to operate these companies.
While the initially expected goals have been met with regard to the verification of the effectiveness of knowhow held by the Group, in consideration of the competitive environment of the market surrounding online travel agency services in the ASEAN region, the Company has reached the conclusion that maintaining and developing businesses in line with new strategies will lead to maximizing each company's value.
As a result of considering the appropriate operating structure, the Company has decided to transfer its entire holdings to Jet Tech Innovation Ventures Pte. Ltd.
