Toyota Motor chairman Akio Toyoda has proposed a Y6tn (42bn) deal to acquire Toyota Industries, an auto parts supplier within the Toyota group. The offer represents a 40% premium over Toyota Industries’ market capitalization. If successful, Toyoda’s stake in the company would increase, giving him more control over the entire Toyota group. The deal would be funded through Toyoda’s personal investment and loans from Japanese banks. Japan has seen a rise in management buyouts, driven by hopes of improved shareholder returns. Some deals, like Seven & i Holdings, have faltered due to financing challenges. In other news, Toyota Motor Europe is partnering to develop next-generation hydrogen refueling systems to support the EU’s hydrogen infrastructure goals.
