SilverCape Investments plans to initiate a tender offer for Digital Holdings, proposing a higher bid than Hakuhodo DY Holdings to capitalize on the firm's long-term value in the growing digital advertising market.
Target Information
SilverCape Investments Limited, based in the Cayman Islands, has announced its intention to conduct a tender offer (TOB) for shares of Digital Holdings Inc., a digital advertising agency currently under the control of Hakuhodo DY Holdings. The tender offer from Hakuhodo is set at ¥1,970 per share. However, SilverCape contends that this price undervalues the potential and long-term value of Digital Holdings, proposing a higher bid of ¥2,380 per share, which is ¥410 more than Hakuhodo's offer.
The deadline for Hakuhodo's TOB is October 28, 2025, but SilverCape plans to initiate its own tender offer by late November, contingent upon the non-completion of Hakuhodo's tender offer. Digital Holdings has stated that it will promptly disclose its opinions regarding the offers once a decision has been made.
