(TSE Growth: 3989), with Nikkei Asia framing the going-private as an about $240 million deal and saying the tender offer would launch on September 10. Tokyo Stock Exchange separately designated Sharingtechnology shares as Securities Under Supervision (Confirmation) on September 9 after the company indicated approval of a takeover bid by MP-2606 Co., Ltd., warning the bid could lead to delisting via cash-out or share consolidation.<\/p>\n<p>Japanese tender-offer disclosure materials identify MP-2606 as a wholly owned acquisition vehicle of MBK Partners JC V, L.P. and Hippo Finance Limited, with an offer price of \u00a51,550 per common share and a tender period running from September 10 through October 27, 2026. The materials describe MBK as an East Asia\u2013focused private equity firm with about $33 billion under management. Sharingtechnology\u2019s board resolved to support the tender and recommend shareholder acceptance, according to contemporaneous IR commentary summarizing the company\u2019s disclosure.<\/p>\n<p>This is a recommended tender take-private process, not a closed acquisition. Treat the MBK \/ MP-2606 bidder identity, the \u00a51,550 offer price, the Sep. 10\u2013Oct. 27 tender window, Nikkei\u2019s about-$240 million deal framing, and the TSE supervision designation as sourced facts. Do not invent closing certainty, a premium percentage without a confirmed prior close, or post-deal AUM attribution.
