ロンドン, 2026年1月15日 -- Elliott Investment Management, L.P.およびElliott Advisors (UK) Limited(以下「エリオット」または「当社」)は、株式会社豊田自動織機(以下「豊田自動織機」または「同社」)の株式を相当額保有する大株主であるファンドに助言を行っております。当社は当該ファンドを代表し、以下の声明を本日付で公開しました。 公開買付価格が一株あたり18,800円に変更されたことは、当初の公開買付価格が不十分であったことを認めるものではありますが、新たな公開買付価格は依然として豊田自動織機の価値を極めて大幅に過小評価しています。 豊田自動織機は、市場を牽引する質の高い事業に加え、価値の高い金融資産を保有しており、エリオットは、これらを総合すると同社には一株あたり25,000円超の価値があると分析しています。かかる評価額は、2025年6月以降、トヨタ自動車その他のトヨタグループ各社に対する同社の持分の価値が約40%上昇したことや同社の主要な類似企業の評価が向上したことを反映し、一株あたり5,000円超増加しています。 エリオットは、変更後の公開買付価格が少数株主の利益に資するものではないことから、本公開買付けに反対いたします。エリオットは、現行の取引条
