Yamaha Motor Co ( (JP:7272) ) has shared an announcement.

Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd. has approved a simplified absorption-type merger of its wholly owned subsidiary Yamaha Motor Powered Products Co., Ltd., effective January 1, 2027, as part of a wider structural reform aligned with its medium-term management plan. The move follows earlier transfers of powered products and golf and land car operations and aims to strengthen core motorcycle, marine, and low-speed mobility businesses through more flexible, group-wide allocation of human resources, facilities, and equipment.

Under the merger, Yamaha Motor will be the surviving company and YMPC will be dissolved, with no new shares issued because YMPC is wholly owned. To prevent a loss on extinguishment of tie-in shares, Yamaha Motor plans to waive an estimated 852 million yen in short-term loans to YMPC by the end of December 2026, a step that is expected to smooth the integration and support operational efficiency while maintaining financial discipline across the group.
