Freeway Takes 25% Stake in Vector (6058) | Large Shareholding Report

A large shareholding report (EDINET filing) shows that Freeway Co., Ltd. has raised its stake in Vector Inc. (6058) to 25%. Freeway is a Japanese SaaS company that provides cloud accounting software "freee." Vector's acquisition represents a quarter of the company's issued shares, establishing Freeway as a significant major shareholder by market capitalization.

The report was filed on January 6, 2026, with an estimated acquisition amount of ¥14.45 billion. Given that no disclosure from Freeway regarding this stock was confirmed in the preceding 400 days, this appears to represent a substantial new position or resumption of holdings at a materially higher level.

*Speculation: Freeway's decision to significantly expand its stake in Vector during a relatively stable risk environment may suggest the company anticipates business synergies or medium-term value creation from the investment.
