GLONGHUI, November 6 | According to Reuters, Japanese software developer Fuji Software said in a statement on Wednesday that private equity firm KKR has acquired 35% of the company's shares. This is the first phase of KKR's two-phase takeover offer. A person familiar with the matter said that although rival Bain Capital (Bain Capital) made a higher takeover offer in October to privatize the Japanese company, KKR now holds enough shares to block Bain's takeover. Fuji Software's investors 3D Investment Partners and Farallon Capital hold a total of 32.7% of the shares, and have previously agreed to sell their shares to KKR at a price of 8,800 yen per share. KKR said it will launch the second phase of the tender offer in mid-November, and the price will also be 8,800 yen per share.
