TOKYO — Nikkei announced on Friday that it will remove NTT Data Group as a component of the Nikkei 225 because, as a result of the tender offer by its parent company NTT, the likelihood of the information technology service provider being delisted has become extremely high.
NTT Data, whose parent intends to make it a wholly owned subsidiary, will be replaced by electronics group Rohm on July 4. NTT Data will also be deleted from the Nikkei Stock Index 300, the Nikkei 500 Stock Average and the Nikkei 225 Climate Change 1.5°C Target Index.
Instead, Haseko will be added to the Nikkei Stock Index 300 on the same day, while NOF will be added to the Nikkei 500 Stock Average. The replacement in the Nikkei Climate 1.5°C Target Index will not be made until the next review in October.
