The higher tender offer price has also led to changes in how the transaction will be funded by key Toyota Group entities. Toyota Fudosan will raise its contribution from roughly JPY 180 billion to JPY 200 billion, while Toyota Motor Corporation will increase its non-voting preferred stock investment from around JPY 700 billion to JPY 800 billion.
