Working closely with the chair of our Japan Working Group, Kei Okamura, on Friday Asian Corporate Governance Association (ACGA) released an open letter addressing the issue of strategic shareholdings in corporate Japan. With 30 members who were co-signatories, the letter emphasizes the urgency to accelerate the further reduction of strategic investments, which we believe in principle should be zero for most companies. In the letter, we provide key recommendations on divestment of strategic shareholdings in a manner that would advance governance practices and help companies achieve sustainable long-term growth, and invite the relevant stakeholders to constructive discussions on the topic.   The recommendations in the letter include: 1.     Implementation of clear targets to reduce strategic shareholdings to zero. 2.     Proposal to strengthen Board of Directors and Audit Board Members’ roles in the oversight of strategic shareholdings. 3.     Improved disclosure on state of strategic shareholdings including the rationale for maintaining the holdings. 4.     Declaration that any divestment by the counterpart would not be met by a loss of benefit or detriment to shareholders. 5.     Disclosure of policies and decisions with regards to voting of strategic shareholdings. 6.     Disclosure of plans on how to utilize proceeds from the divestments as part of a mid-term capital management plan. The English version of the letter can be found here: https://lnkd.in/gK_xFFda A Japanese version is also available on our website: https://lnkd.in/gfAD2TU6 We expect to continue when we have our upcoming Japan delegation in Q3. Please see ACGA website for further details of our planned activities.

📈 A piece by Linklaters’ Global Head of Corporate Simon Branigan in The Times highlights that the M&A market in the UK is experiencing a resurgence, with £16.5 billion in public deals in Q1 of 2023. 💬 He says: “Confidence is key to this unlocked activity — and it is returning, but remains fragile. Some of the obstacles that previously affected deal-making are diminishing but problems remain. In practice, for deal makers, investors and companies, the ability to forecast the future valuation of the businesses, to navigate the regulatory environment, to face political uncertainty as the general elections draw closer, and to anticipate shareholder reaction to any transaction will be key to successfully exploiting this wave of M&A activity and delivering strategic value to stakeholders.” Read the full article below (£) 👇
