DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES
This Post-Effective Amendment (the “Post-Effective Amendment”) by SYLA Technologies Co., Ltd., a joint stock corporation organized under Japanese law (the “Registrant”), relates to the following Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”):
● | Registration Statement No. 333-274037, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by the Registrant on August 17, 2023, pertaining to the registration of 12,000 common shares of the Registrant, no par value (“Common Shares”), reserved for issuance under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The Common Shares may be represented by the American Depositary Shares of the Company, each of which represents 1/100 of one Common Share. |
On June 1, 2025, pursuant to the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement, dated as of December 2, 2024 (as it may be amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Share Exchange Agreement”), by and among CUMICA CORPORATION, a Japanese corporation (“CUMICA”) and the Registrant (together, the “Parties”), the Parties carried out a management integration of the two companies through a share exchange. As a consequence of the share exchange, CUMICA became the wholly-owning parent company of the Registrant and the Registrant became the wholly-owned subsidiary of CUMICA, with CUMICA acquiring all of the issued shares of common stock of the Registrant (the “Transaction”).
As a result of the Transaction and other transactions contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement, the Registrant has terminated any and all offerings and sales of its securities pursuant to the Registration Statement. In accordance with an undertaking made by the Registrant in the Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any of the securities registered under the Registration Statement that remain unsold at the termination of the offerings, by filing this Post-Effective Amendment, the Registrant hereby removes from registration all securities registered but unsold under such Registration Statement, if any, as of the date hereof, and the Registration Statement is hereby amended, as appropriate, to reflect the deregistration of such securities and the Registrant hereby terminates the effectiveness of the Registration Statement.
