SBI Holdings, Inc. (TOKYO: 8473 / Hong Kong: 6488)
Today, Auto Server Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President and Representative Director: Masazumi Adachi; "Auto Server"), a portfolio company of the SBI Group's fund (shareholding ratio*: 39.4%), which operates an Internet-based used car distribution business in Japan and China, completed its listing on GreTai Securities Market (GTSM), the Taiwanese emerging equity market.
Taiwan Stock Exchange is actively recruiting foreign companies to list, and Auto Server's listing is the first primary listing on GTSM by a Japanese company. In addition, Auto Server is the first foreign company to conduct primary listing on GTSM in response to the amendment of Taiwanese laws, as it was not permitted for foreign companies to directly list their shares on Taiwan's stock markets in the past.
Auto Server endeavors to accelerate the development of its business and to increase its presence in the Chinese area through the listing.
The SBI Group will continue to work on creating new value, for example, by supporting investee companies in expanding operations overseas through the use of global networks in emerging countries, mainly in Asia, which the Group has established.
