TOKYO -- U.S. private equity firm KKR plans to take Japanese systems developer Fuji Soft private with a tender offer expected to come in at 600 billion yen ($4.13 billion), Nikkei has learned, amid pressure from a major shareholder.
The offer is expected to be valued at just under 9,000 yen per share, a roughly 20% premium to Wednesday's closing price. Fuji Soft's founding family and management may reinvest in the company after the buyout.
