【Notice of the Transfer (Share Transfer) of Consolidated Subsidiaries】

Dream Incubator Inc. (“the Company”) hereby announces that it resolved at its Board of Directors’ meeting on September 30, 2021 to transfer all shares of consolidated subsidiary DIMENSION Inc. to DIMENSION’s representative director, Mr. Takamitsu Miyaso. As a result of this transaction, Dimension Investment Partners Limited, which is operated by DIMENSION Inc. as an unlimited liability partner, will also cease to be a consolidated subsidiary of the Company.

 

  1. Reasons and Background to the Transfer

As previously announced, the Company is promoting structural reforms to achieve a growth trajectory under a new management structure. It recognizes the volatility of venture investment as a management issue and has been considering measures to reduce the volatility as one of the themes of these reforms. The Company thus has been reconsidering its involvement in fund investment in addition to curbing its own capital investment. It believes that this policy will contribute to Group management while allowing DIMENSION Inc. to independently promote management support to encourage growth at startups.
