Toyota Motor's acquisition plan for Toyota Industries, a subsidiary of the group, is facing further obstacles. Earlier, rights investor Elliott Investment Management announced that it had purchased a large amount of shares in this forklift manufacturer. Elliott said in a statement that the proposed deal undervalues Toyota Industries, lacks transparency, and falls short of good corporate governance standards. Other global investors have also requested further disclosure of relevant transaction details. If completed, the deal will strengthen the influence of the Toyota family within the group. According to information, the deal is receiving close attention because it comes at a time when Japanese regulators and the government are pushing to improve the level of corporate governance. In June of this year, Toyota Motor Corporation, Toyota Real Estate, the Group's real estate company, and Toyota Chairman Akio Toyoda jointly announced that Toyota Industries would be privatized. Toyota Industries is also a core supplier to the Japanese automaker.
