<news1><![CDATA[Mirae Asset Securities has acquired Japan’s Sanko Securities, securing a foothold for its local retail business and accelerating the expansion of its global operations.

On the 29th, Mirae Asset Securities announced that its board of directors had resolved to enter into a share purchase agreement(SPA) to acquire 100% of the outstanding shares of Sanko Securities from Japan’s Okasan Securities Group through its U.S. subsidiary, Mirae Asset Security Holdings, and to make the necessary capital contribution for this purpose.

The acquisition price is currently approximately KRW 47.6 billion, with the final amount to be determined at the time of transaction closing, following the receipt of necessary regulatory approvals.

The key lies in the business license within Japan. Through this acquisition, Mirae Asset Securities will secure registration as a ‘Type I Financial Instruments Business Operator,’ enabling it to trade and underwrite a wide range of financial products, including stocks and bonds. The move also targets the growing interest in the stock market following the introduction of Japan’s new Nippon Individual Savings Account(NISA) program.

An official from Mirae Asset Securities said, “Following the acquisition of the stake, we plan to expand our existing proprietary trading business and strengthen our local operational foundation,” adding, “We intend to launch our retail business after streamlining our procedures and organizational structure in accordance with relevant laws and regulations.”]]></news1>
