Expansion Through Mergers and Acquisitions
Additionally, Invast's Securities President, Takeshi Kawaji today provided extensive details surrounding its most recent merger and acquisition deal with compatriot CyberAgent FX.
According to information released today by Invast Securities, the schedule for the absorption-type corporate partition Approval of the Board of Directors of Invast Securities takes the form of an absorption-type corporate partition agreement between Invast Securities and CyberAgent FX, which will come into effect on March 2, 2014.
As of 30 September, 2013, Invast Securities has stated publicly that CyberAgent FX held 4,784,400,239 Yen on the clients' guarantee deposits as well as approximately 120,000 individual accounts on Click 365.
"The true picture of this deal is that most of the 120,000 accounts are for OTC FX traders rather than Click365 traders. CyberAgent FX has been recommending that its clients open both OTC accounts as well as Click365 accounts when a new client opens up an account. Since that particular company's main business is OTC FX, most of the 120,000 accounts came in the form of OTC accounts. However, since we are buying the whole Click365 business from CyberAgent FX, transferring accounts will be the whole 120,000 which of most are OTC traders."
" These 120,000 accounts will be our potential target for cross selling Mirror Trader ST24, and our OTC businesses as well," he added.
Mr. Kawaji concluded by confirming in US dollar value, the realization of investment stock. "Also, we have disclosed that we realized an extraordinary profit of about $21.7million by selling one unit of our investment equity stock.
