LY Corp (ISIN JP3933800009) was trading at JPY 489.60 on Tokyo on October 7, 2026 at 10:20 a.m. JST, 14.24 percent below its JPY 570.90 52-week high. On September 16, 2026, Japan IR reported that LY Corp and Bain Capital raised their Kakaku.com tender offer to JPY 3,597 per share, with a conditional price of JPY 3,720 if a non-participation agreement with KDDI is concluded.

Kakaku.com bid reaches JPY 3,597

The tender offer remains tied to Kakaku.com's supportive opinion and a board resolution encouraging shareholders to participate, according to Japan IR on September 16, 2026. The same disclosure said all required clearances had been completed, leaving the target's response and board process as the key conditions for the offer to begin.

For LY Corp, the transaction adds exposure to Kakaku.com, a Japanese comparison and review platform, while the conditional JPY 3,720 price is JPY 123 above the announced JPY 3,597 offer. That 3.42 percent difference makes the KDDI agreement an identifiable value trigger within the proposal.
