中内　準 Cuts Stake in コロンビア・ワークス (146A) to 14.91% | Large Shareholding Report

A large shareholding report (EDINET filing) reveals that Hitoshi Nakauchi has reduced his stake in Columbia Works (146A) to 14.91%. The company is primarily engaged in real estate development, particularly apartment complexes, while also operating real estate-related businesses including rental management and hotel operations. The 14.91% stake represents a significant holding, positioning Nakauchi as a major shareholder in the company's market capitalization.

Through this transaction, Nakauchi's ownership has decreased by 12.77 percentage points from his previous disclosed holding of 27.68%, now standing at 14.91%. The estimated sale value amounts to ¥4.23 billion. This substantial divestment marks a notable shift by Nakauchi, the founder of Daiei, a pioneering figure in Japan's retail industry.

The sale indicates that Nakauchi is withdrawing from his previously controlling shareholder position in Columbia Works. *Speculation: This transaction may reflect a strategic review of his personal asset allocation or a shift in his approach regarding the company's management direction.
