The award was presented at a ceremony held on May 20.
The DealWatch Awards recognize outstanding issuers of bonds or equities in the Japanese capital market, as well as Japanese issuers who have conducted offerings overseas, and the securities firms that manage these transactions. The awards for 2024 comprised six categories: Overall, Bonds, Local Government Bonds, Cross-Border Bonds, Sustainable Finance, and Equity. Selection is based on criteria such as the appropriateness of pricing in the issuance market, price formation after transition to the trading market, contribution to the development of capital markets, and innovative efforts, with the awards designed to promote Japan's markets to a global audience.
DealWatch commented positively on our listing on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Prime Market on December 18, 2024, stating it was "an unprecedented large-scale IPO adopting Japan's first pre-approval notification (S-1) procedure.” They added, “Active discussions were conducted with institutional investors regarding appropriate pricing, effectively promoting the growth potential of the NAND market and the company's competitive edge, thereby stimulating demand from individual investors and institutional investors both domestically and internationally. This resulted in extremely strong after-market performance."
Moving forward, the Kioxia Group remains committed to fulfilling its corporate social responsibilities and striving for sustainable growth and enhanced corporate value to meet the expectations of its stakeholders.
