Ichigo Asset Management International Pte. Ltd. announced on August 10 that it has acquired shares of Sansan (4443), a provider of cloud-based services and databases for corporate sales support and marketing solutions, at an estimated cost of 2.52 billion yen, raising its ownership stake to 13.67%.

At the time of acquisition, Sansan's share price stood at 1,952 yen. This acquisition by the Ichigo Group-affiliated investment vehicle reflects the fund's continued investment commitment to Sansan's sales support and marketing solutions business.
