Global investment firm KKR announced today that KKR has completed KKR’s acquisition of Hitachi Transport System Ltd. (“HTS” or the “Company”). KKR holds the shares of HTS through HTSK Co., Ltd. (“HTSK”), a special purpose entity which owns 100% of the shares with voting rights in HTS, and through HTSK Holdings Co., Ltd. (“HTSK Holdings”), a 100% parent and holding company of HTSK. KKR will work in strategic partnership with Hitachi Ltd. (“Hitachi”), which owns 10% of the shares with voting rights in HTSK Holdings and KKR owns the remaining 90% of the shares with voting rights.

HTSK acquired 100% of the shares with voting rights in HTS through a cash tender offer, the results of which were announced on November 30, 2022, a share consolidation that became effective on February 28, 2023, and a buyback by HTS of the shares held by Hitachi on March 1, 2023.

HTS will be renamed LOGISTEED, Ltd.
