YAKULT HONSHA CO.,LTD. <2267> continued its sharp rise, reaching a new year-to-date high. U.S. investment fund Dalton Investments announced on the 23rd that it had sent documents exercising its shareholder proposal rights at YAKULT HONSHA's annual general meeting scheduled for June, and published explanatory materials. Dalton pointed out that despite YAKULT HONSHA possessing a strong business foundation including its brand and sales channels, the company has not fully realized its potential due to insufficient governance and capital discipline. Dalton is proposing the appointment of two directors from its side, among other measures. In the stock market, expectations have spread that pressure from the activist investor will improve YAKULT HONSHA's capital efficiency and shareholder value, attracting buy orders.
