BASE (TYO:4477) will acquire shares of Port and make it a wholly owned subsidiary for about 1.37 billion yen as part of efforts to expand its customer base and strengthen its presence in the creator economy, according to a Thursday filing on the Tokyo Stock Exchange.

The company will acquire 7,750 common shares and 2,640 preferred shares, giving it a 100% voting stake in the entertainment-tech firm.

Port operates services such as Talkport, which enables one-on-one video calls between creators and fans, and Shoport, an e-commerce platform for merchandise sales.

The deal is scheduled to close on April 17.
