Toyota Motor Corporation announced on Tuesday its plan to initiate a tender offer worth 807 billion yen ($5.16 billion) to repurchase its own shares. This significant move comes as part of a broader governance reform prompted by the Tokyo Stock Exchange, urging major corporations to reduce cross-shareholdings.

Cross-shareholding, a practice where companies hold shares in each other to strengthen business relationships, has been criticized by governance experts and foreign investors for fostering weak governance. Critics argue that it shields management from shareholder scrutiny, potentially leading to less accountability and oversight.

In line with these reforms, major Japanese banks, including Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group and Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group (SMFG), are set to divest Toyota shares valued at a combined $8.5 billion, according to a Bloomberg News report last month.

Toyota stated it will offer 2,781 yen per share for the buyback, which will be open from July 24 to August 26. This buyback initiative is seen as a strategic step towards enhancing corporate governance and improving shareholder value.

In addition to the tender offer, other prominent financial institutions such as SMFG, Tokio Marine Holdings, and MS&AD Insurance Group have announced their plans to sell back Toyota shares to the automaker. This collective effort by these companies underscores a significant shift in Japan’s corporate landscape, driven by the push for better governance and transparency.

The tender offer reflects a growing trend among Japanese corporations to adapt to global governance standards, aiming to attract more foreign investment and enhance overall market confidence. As Japan’s corporate governance reforms continue to unfold, the impact on business practices and investor relations is expected to be profound and far-reaching.
