Notification on Business Support Investment in Red Planet Japan, Inc. (JQS 3350)
Oak Capital has decided to invest a total of 2.0 billion yen in Red Planet Japan, Inc. (hereinafter “RPJ” or
“the Company”) with the aim of helping the Company expand its food and hotel business and implement a
strategic capital and business tie-up with AGET, Inc. (hereinafter “AGET,” TSE 2nd Section 7853).
1. Growth strategy of the food business (development of the restaurant, sweets and fast-food business lines)
RPJ’s overarching business goal is to expand its food and hotel business early on and secure a stable revenue
base. Since last year, the Company has acquired 16 restaurants and has been operating New York’s popular
“Magnolia Bakery” cupcake business in Japan in addition to entering into a business tie-up with burger chain
operator Wendy's Japan LLC. More recently, RPJ has been aggressively promoting its food business most of
all through a cooperative program being pursued as a joint venture with the operator of Kyochon, a popular
restaurant chain featuring fried chicken and operating some 1,000 restaurants around the world.
2. Supporting M&A plan with a company in the food service business aimed at business expansion
To achieve the purpose of expanding the scale of its food business, RPJ’s business strategy calls for a merger
and acquisition of an existing company. Oak Capital has decided to provide the funds necessary for this
M&A.
3. Supporting a capital and business tie-up aimed at multi-store expansion in the food service business
In order to lend impetus to its own food brands as a multi-store operation, RPJ is entering into a capital and
business tie-up with AGET. AGET is to become RPJ’s directly-associated franchisee and is expected to
benefit from this partnership as it will spur the revitalization of its own operations and management by
implementing the multi-store expansion plan and opening more branches for each of the food brands in RPJ’s
portfolio. Concretely, RPJ is to acquire a 31.3% stake in AGET and become its largest shareholder. As a
result, AGET will become an affiliated company of RPJ to which the equity method will be applied.
【Gist of RPJ’s food business strategy】
(1) Capital participations in food service business companies or acquisitions thereof.
(2) Capital tie-up and business tie-up with AGET.
(3) Overseas expansion of Magnolia Bakery and other food businesses.
