Shareholders approve Koei merger with Tecmo


Shareholders have approved the merger between Japanese companies Tecmo and Koei, set to take place on April 1st. The companies made the announcement in statements to the Tokyo Stock Exchange today, according to Reuters.

   Under the  $207 million deal, announced last November, Tecmo investors will receive 0.9 shares in the merged company for every Tecmo share they hold, while Koei stockholders will receive a one-for-one exchange.

Tecmo attracted the attention of potential buyers, including Square Enix, after the company’s president stepped down, following a public spat with the former Team Ninja lead Tomonobu Itagaki.

Awesome, I await the first wave of titles from Tecmoei

 

EDIT: I hope this doesn't ruin any chance of a third PangYa! game appearing on Wii.

Giant mergers would be companies like Namco and Bandai or Sega and Sammy...

I think I own a few Tecmo games, but I've never even heard of Koei... Who are they?

They're probably best known for the Dynasty Warriors / Samurai Warriors series, Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Kessen.

Oh, and Opoona might ring a bell for about three Wii owners.

I wouldn't call them "titans" but good for them

Ninja Warriors? Dynasty Gaiden? Super Dead or Alive: Dynasty Warriors vs. Ninja Gaiden?

Very good. Tecmo is very uncomfortable with HD development, and together with KOEI they'll have much more finances and devs under their disposal. I approve.
