Japanese trading house Itochu plans to launch a tender offer to acquire Dentsu Soken at ¥2,880 per share. The deal, valued at around $1.3 billion (¥215.2 billion), would remove Dentsu Soken from public listing and end its parent-subsidiary structure. The offer is expected to run from early November to early December, with Dentsu Group keeping its shares and helping Itochu manage the business.
