As reports of Sony apparently being in talks to buy out FromSoftware owner Kadokawa surface online, the Tokyo Stock Exchange has issued an alert that "unclear information regarding acquisition has arisen."
It was just yesterday that Reuters reported that Sony is apparently in talks to acquire Kadokawa Corporation – a huge media conglomerate that owns the likes of Dark Souls and Elden Ring developer FromSoftware, as well as Danganronpa and Pokemon Mystery Dungeon developer Spike Chunsoft. Now, as spotted by Automaton, the TSE explains that it issues alerts "about securities or its issuers if it deems necessary to inform investors," noting that in the cases of "unclear information (i.e., a leak or rumor)," an alert can be put out if the rumor is "deemed likely to have material impact on investment decisions."
