KKR has successfully completed its tender offer for FUJI SOFT, acquiring 58% ownership and becoming the company's largest shareholder. The firm now plans to proceed with the privatization of FUJI SOFT, with an Extraordinary General Meeting scheduled for late April 2025 to finalize the squeeze-out process.

FUJI SOFT, a leading Japanese system integration company, reported record revenue of 317.5 billion yen and an operating income of 22 billion yen in the fiscal year ending December 2024. The acquisition aligns with FUJI SOFT's mid-term business plan to become a top provider of systems, software, and services in the IT and OT fields.

Hiro Hirano, Deputy Executive Chairman of KKR Asia Pacific and CEO of KKR Japan, expressed confidence in FUJI SOFT’s future under KKR’s ownership, highlighting its role in digital transformation, cloud computing, and AI in Japan. KKR will support the company's growth and value creation through its global network and expertise.

The acquisition was financed primarily by KKR Asian Fund IV.
