 Soeben erreicht uns eine Pressemeldung von Pentax, die besagt, dass Hoya den Bereich PENTAXT Imagin Systems an Ricoh verkauft.
Die deutsche Zentrale verschickt eine englischsprachige Pressemeldung über den Verkauf, man darf aber auf weitere Infos und Auswirkungen gespannt sein.
Hier der erste Teil der Origignal-Meldung:
July 1, 2011
Company Name: HOYA CORPORATION
Representative: Hiroshi Suzuki, President and CEO
(Code: 7741, the First Section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange)
Contact: Naoji Ito, Manager of Corporate Communications
Telephone: 03-3232-0062
Notice of Sale of the PENTAX Imaging Systems Business
HOYA Corporation (“HOYA”) and Ricoh Company, Ltd. (“Ricoh”) hereby announce that pursuant
to decisions by the President and CEO of HOYA and Representative Director of Ricoh, respectively,
HOYA and Ricoh have executed an agreement as of today to transfer HOYA’s PENTAX Imaging
Systems Business (the business of developing, manufacturing and selling optical instruments such as
digital cameras and replacement lenses, digital camera accessories, security camera-related products,
and binoculars) (the “PENTAX Imaging Systems Business”) to Ricoh. HOYA will effectuate this
transfer by incorporating a new corporation (“NewCo”), cause NewCo to succeed the PENTAX
Imaging Systems Business by way of a corporate split (kyushu bunkatsu) (the “Corporate Split”),
and transfer all shares of NewCo to Ricoh (such split and transfer shall be referred to as the
“Split/Transfer”) as of October 1, 2011 (Estimated).
Prior to the Split/Transfer, HOYA intends to transfer its interests in PENTAX VN CO., Ltd., an
overseas subsidiary of HOYA in relation to the PENTAX Imaging Systems Business, to NewCo.
Please note, that since the Corporate Split is a simplified corporate split (kan-i kyushu bunkatsu),
disclosure items/content have been partially abbreviated.
Further, HOYA will continue to develop its businesses assigned from PENTAX Corporation which
was merged (kyushu gappei) into HOYA on March 31, 2008 other than the PENTAX Imaging
Systems Business, such as its businesses regarding digital camera modules, DVD pickup lenses,
endoscopes, artificial bones, and voice synthesis.
