Elliott does not intend to tender its shares into the Extended TOB at the current terms
Elliott strongly encourages other shareholders not to tender and to withdraw any shares already tendered
LONDON, Feb. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Elliott Investment Management L.P. and Elliott Advisors (UK) Limited ("Elliott"), which advise funds that together have a significant investment in Toyota Industries Corporation ("Toyota Industries" or the "Company") and are the Company’s largest independent shareholder, today issued the following statement:
Elliott notes today’s extension by an affiliate of Toyota Fudosan Co., Ltd. ("Toyota Fudosan") of its tender offer at ¥18,800 per share (the "Extended TOB"). According to Toyota Fudosan, only 33.1% of outstanding shares have tendered into the transaction before today’s deadline, which equates to fewer than 1 in 5 independent minority shareholders.* This demonstrates an overwhelming rejection of the offer by minority shareholders, confirming the consensus view that the Extended TOB is at a price that very significantly undervalues Toyota Industries and remains undermined by material process failures. It is evident that most independent shareholders of Toyota Industries disagree with the Company’s assertion that the offer price "reflects the intrinsic value of the Target Company".
Elliott does not intend to tender its shares into the Extended TOB at the current terms and strongly encourages other shareholders not to tender. Elliott also encourages any shareholders who tendered since the offer was launched to withdraw tendered shares as soon as possible.
Toyota Fudosan still has an opportunity to engage in good-faith discussions with independent minority shareholders to address the inadequacies of the Extended TOB.

* Excluding the Toyota group companies, cross-shareholders and other shareholders who had already publicly announced their intention to tender into the transaction and are assumed to have tendered.
