GLORY LTD. (GLORY) hereby announces that all procedures related to the acquisition of 53% of shares in Cash Payment Solutions GmbH (‘CPS’), which was released on October 3, 2019, have now been completed, as follows:
1. Purpose of the acquisition
GLORY has been investing actively in a business model to realize the ‘new management system of cash circulation’ in line with our ‘Long-term Vision 2028’.
One of the factors for the global trend towards cashless payments has been high costs of handling cash. On the other hand, cash still remains an important means of payment. GLORY has been providing several solutions for various industries to make their operations more efficient. We believe, by realizing efficient cash circulation across society beyond the border between bank branches and retail shops, we can make the cost of cash handling even lower.
CPS’s business model will contribute to realizing GLORY’s idea of ‘the establishment of new management system of cash circulation’. We also believe that CPS will add new value to GLORY’s traditional business of providing cash handling solutions.
