Yomiuri: Activist Investor Aya Nomura Obtains 1.86% Stake in TV Asahi Holdings

Dow Jones06-05

By Yasuhiro Kobayashi / Yomiuri Shimbun Staff Writer

Activist investor Aya Nomura has acquired a 1.86% stake in TV Asahi Holdings Corp., the parent company of the Japanese commercial broadcaster TV Asahi Corp.

Nomura may be inclined to make demands of the holding company, such as improving its capital efficiency. She is known for being the daughter of Yoshiaki Murakami, the former head of the now-defunct "Murakami Fund."

Nomura held 1.95 million shares, according to the convocation notice for the TV Asahi Holdings annual general meeting scheduled for June 26. The notice was disclosed Thursday. She ranked eighth on the list of shareholders, following companies such as The Asahi Shimbun Co. (20.21%) and Toei Co. (17.7%). She did not make it into the top 10 as of September last year.

Nomura also holds a large chunk of shares in Fuji Media Holdings Inc., the parent company of Fuji Television Network Inc. She owned a 2.37% stake as of March this year. In December, she demanded that Fuji Media Holdings divest its real estate division, threatening to increase her stake to 33.3% if the company did not comply. The holding company accepted her demand, announcing in February that it would begin discussing the spin-off and sale of its real estate business.
