LONDON, Feb. 2, 2025
/PRNewswire/ -- Elliott Investment Management, L.P. and
Elliott Advisors (U.K.) Limited ("Elliott," or "we"), which
together advise funds that have a substantial investment in Tokyo
Gas Co., Ltd. ("Tokyo Gas" or "the Company"), today issued the
following statement:
"We welcome Tokyo Gas's decision to expand its buyback program
and implement additional measures to enhance capital efficiency and
accelerate growth. We view these measures as meaningful first steps
to unlock the substantial value embedded in Tokyo Gas's asset base,
and we believe this plan demonstrates the Company's commitment
towards value creation. We also support the establishment of the
Corporate Value Enhancement Committee, and we anticipate the
results of the Company's review of Tokyo Gas's non-core assets for
divestment – including its extensive and underappreciated real
estate holdings – to be announced at the comprehensive investor
update in March. We look forward to continuing our engagement with
the Company."
