Insights

SBC’s affiliate secures a majority Waqoo stake via oversubscribed tender offer and off-market transfer.

The disclosure describes how SBC Medical Group Co., Ltd., an affiliate of SBC Medical Group Holdings Incorporated, conducted a tender offer for common stock of Waqoo, Inc.. The offer ran from November 14 to December 12, 2025 at ¥1,900 per share, with a stated maximum of 575,000 shares. Demand was strong: shareholders tendered 637,817 shares, so SBC’s affiliate will purchase 575,052 shares on a pro rata basis under Japanese tender offer rules.

Following settlement on December 19, 2025, SBC Medical Group Co., Ltd. will hold 9,286 voting rights in Waqoo, representing 24.93% of voting rights as calculated under Japanese law.

The narrative is framed with standard forward-looking statement cautions, highlighting that outcomes can differ due to economic, competitive, market, and regulatory factors and those described in the company’s SEC risk factor disclosures.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

On December 13, 2025, SBC Medical Group Holdings Incorporated (the "Company") issued a press release announcing that the final results of the tender offer (the "Tender Offer") conducted by SBC Medical Group Co., Ltd. ("SBCMG") for shares of the common stock of Waqoo, Inc. (“Waqoo”), a Japanese corporation listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Growth Market.

Below is a summary of the Tender Offer and the results:

Tender Offeror: SBC Medical Group Co., Ltd.
Target: Waqoo, Inc. (TSE Growth: 4937)
Securities Sought: Common stock of Waqoo
Offer Period: November 14, 2025 through December 12, 2025
Offer Price: ¥1,900 per share
Maximum Number of Shares to Be Purchased: 575,000 shares
Minimum Number of Shares to Be Purchased: None
Total number of shares tendered: 637,817 shares
Total number of shares to Be Purchased: 575,052 shares
Settlement Date: December 19, 2025
Settlement Agent: SBI SECURITIES Co., Ltd.

 

As the total number of tendered shares exceeded the maximum planned purchase volume of 575,000 shares, the Tender Offeror will purchase shares on a pro rata basis in accordance with Japanese tender offer regulations, and shares tendered in excess of such allocation will not be purchased.

 

Through the Tender Offer, SBCMG will hold 9,286 voting rights, representing an ownership ratio of 24.93% (calculated pursuant to Japanese law) with settlement scheduled to commence on December 19, 2025. In addition, a special related party, the largest shareholder of Waqoo, is expected to transfer all of its remaining shares to SBCMG through an off-market transaction outside of the Tender Offer, also effective as of December 19, 2025. As a result of these transactions, SBCMG’s ownership ratio of the voting rights of Waqoo is expected to exceed 50% as of the settlement date.
(Note: Ownership ratios are calculated based on outstanding shares including potential shares as of the reference date, and rounded to the nearest 0.01%.)

 

The Company does not expect any change to the plans, policies or intentions described in the tender offer statement filed in Japan on November 14, 2025. The Company will continue to evaluate its investment in Waqoo and take any actions it considers appropriate in accordance with applicable laws.

The press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not historical facts or statements of current conditions, but instead represent only the Company’s beliefs regarding future events and performance, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and outside of the Company’s control. These forward-looking statements reflect the Company’s current views with respect to, among other things, the Tender Offer, the Company’s product launch plans and strategies; growth in revenue and earnings; and business prospects. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “may,” “should,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “contemplates,” “estimates,” “believes,” “plans,” “projected,” “predicts,” “potential,” “targets” or “hopes” or the negative of these or similar terms. The Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which are current only as of the date of this release and are subject to various risks, uncertainties, assumptions, or changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict or quantify. The forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations and are not guarantees of future performance. The Company does not undertake or accept any obligation to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect any change in its expectations or any change in events, conditions, or circumstances on which any such statement is based, except as required by law. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for the Company to predict all of them; such factors include, among other things, changes in global, regional, or local economic, business, competitive, market and regulatory conditions, and those listed under the heading “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in the Company’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which are accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
