Notification of Change in Consolidated Subsidiary (Transfer of Holdings)
Dec 1, 2017
Recruit Holdings Co., Ltd. (the "Company") announces that it decided today to transfer its entire holdings of the Company's consolidated subsidiary MOVOTO LLC ("MOVOTO"), as follows.
1. Reason for transfer of holdings
To realize growth in the Company's Overseas Marketing Solutions, the Company's strategy is to verify the effectiveness of the knowhow developed in the domestic business at companies made into subsidiaries and to raise the value of those subsidiaries by leveraging the knowhow.
Under this strategy, the Company made MOVOTO, which operates a site that provides information on pre-owned real estate in the U.S., a subsidiary in 2013, and has since worked to operate this company.
While the initially expected goals have been met with regard to the verification of the effectiveness of knowhow held by the Group, in consideration of the competitive environment of the market surrounding real estate information sites in the U.S., the Company has reached the conclusion that maintaining and developing businesses in line with new strategies will lead to maximizing MOVOTO's value, and has therefore decided to transfer its entire holdings to Yuji Horiguchi.
