TKP Corporation (TSE:3479) is looking for M&A. Takateru Kawano, President and CEO said, "So M&A and business allowances are things that we are considering. We have cash of JPY 30 billion after the sales of Regus business. So we'd like to make the best use of that to further accelerate the driver for growth.

So in that sense, the current TKP business performance in this projections, they do not reflect any potential additional inorganic business alliances. Also, we hope that we can consider further growth with business alliances and in organic growth opportunities. And as TKP, when I set up TKP and the work in a venture company and online brokerage firms, I want to leverage my experience to help nurture the venture companies and the start-ups.

And I feel the need for us to work together with the government to extend support to these new companies. So this is a first step for me in that endeavor. So investing with Shikigaku through this fund, I would like to offer my hands on and I'm hoping to be able to accelerate our M&A opportunity as well.

Also, this could be applied to our own M&A opportunities and the organizational training can also be used for us. But it can be also extended as a service and solution to the venture companies. And at the end of the day, that will contribute to the Japanese economy".
