Uzabase, Inc. has signed a basic agreement with Sansan, Inc. to acquire shares of Logmi, Inc, a consolidated subsidiary of Sansan, Inc., and turn it into a wholly owned subsidiary.
Prior to the share acquisition, the “Logmi Business” operated by Logmi will be transferred to Sansan through an absorption-type company split. Upon completion of the split and after closing, scheduled for April 2026, Uzabase will acquire all shares of Logmi, which will continue to operate “Logmi Finance” and the “IR Solutions” business.
Together with Logmi, Uzabase aims to become the No.1 global provider for Asian insight, delivering solutions that help clients navigate the region with confidence.
About Logmi
Founded as a media platform that produces full transcripts of events and interviews, Logmi has leveraged this expertise to expand into IR support with “Logmi Finance.”
“Logmi Finance” is one of Japan’s largest media platforms, promptly publishing full transcripts of earnings briefings and IR events, including Q&As. Over 200,000 investors use the service monthly, making it an infrastructure that supports the “democratization of information” in the capital markets.
Rationale for the Acquisition
Amid recent regulatory changes, including the Tokyo Stock Exchange’s call for "action to implement management that is conscious of the cost of capital and stock price”, listed companies are expected to conduct more robust IR activities and disclose highly transparent information to stakeholders.
In addition, improvements to the investment environment through the new Nippon Individual Savings Account (NISA) program have accelerated the growth of individual investors in recent years. Riding this tailwind, Logmi Finance’s coverage now exceeds 25% of TSE-listed companies, and its user base continues to show robust growth.
Given this evolving market, the importance of IR information is rising. By welcoming Logmi into our group, we expect to generate the following synergies and enhance the value we deliver to users of Speeda and NewsPicks:
・ Sell and deliver Logmi Finance to approximately 2,600 companies we support with Speeda (primarily corporate planning and IR divisions of listed companies)
・ Sell and deliver Logmi Finance to companies we support through NewsPicks’ advertising business with IR needs
・ Integrate functions with the NewsPicks app
・ Improve quality, speed, and cost by mutually leveraging both companies’ AI and technology know-how in data and content creation
By connecting Logmi's assets with “Speeda AI Agent” and “Speeda Expert Research,” we also envision enabling analysts’ insights in the capital markets to be used as proprietary data.
Comment from Shoyo Nishikawa Senior Executive Officer, B2B Business Chief Global Officer and Chief Product Officer, Uzabase, Inc.
Logmi’s mission, “Log the world. Change the world” is fundamentally connected to Uzabase’s mission to be “a global provider for Asia insight”. Entering the era of generative AI makes accurate facts and messages from management even more important, and Japanese companies are increasingly expected to communicate with investors both in Japan and ex-Japan. Logmi provides a compelling solution that enables both individual and institutional investors to access information. With Logmi joining the Uzabase Group, we are confident in delivering these services to many more companies and investors.
Comment from Yukari Miura President and Representative Director, Logmi, Inc
Uzabase and Logmi, each pursuing missions to change the world, have come together to walk a shared path through communicating the value of Japanese companies.
Logmi Finance has engaged sincerely with individual investors in Japan, delivering firsthand information that conveys the passion of management. As we join the group, Logmi Finance will integrate with Speeda, a powerful analysis platform, so this information can be used more effectively in decision-making. Our reach will also expand with greater global visibility.
By connecting executives’ narratives with facts such as financial data, we believe the true value of Japanese companies will reach the audiences it should. We are excited for Logmi to take this next step and look forward to what lies ahead.
