Subject to fulfilling certain conditions, including completion of procedures and actions required under domestic and foreign competition laws, the transfer of the shareholdings will be quickly executed.
Reason for the transfer of shares
FUJITSU TEN was established in 1972 as a spinoff of Fujitsu's radio division. Since Toyota Motor Corporation and DENSO took equity stakes in 1973, FUJITSU TEN has offered various products and services as a manufacturer of car electronics products including audio and multimedia. In recent years, FUJITSU TEN has strengthened its Vehicle ICT business to create new value, while accelerating collaboration with Fujitsu Group companies to transform itself from a supplier of standalone products to a system manufacturer that proposes and provides connected in-vehicle information equipment and services.
In the automotive field, the interface between the driver and vehicle is becoming increasingly important due to remarkable technological innovations. Against this backdrop, by making FUJITSU TEN a group company of DENSO, which is a general automotive component manufacturer, it will enhance cooperation between the two companies in developing in-vehicle ECUs, millimeter-wave radar, advanced driver assistance and automated driving technologies, and basic electronic technologies, among others. The objective of this initiative is to integrate the two companies so as to achieve higher corporate value.
Fujitsu believes that information and communication technology (ICT) will become increasingly important in developing next-generation vehicles, such as connected cars and automated driving. Fujitsu will enhance its collaboration with DENSO and FUJITSU TEN to strengthen the automotive business and mobility IoT business.
