LONDON, May 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Elliott Investment Management L.P. and Elliott Advisors (UK) Limited ("Elliott"), which advise funds that together own approximately 6% of Nippon Express Holdings, Inc. ("Nippon Express" or the "Company"), today issued the following statement:

Elliott's investment in Nippon Express reflects our belief in the fundamental strength of the Company's business as the leading freight forwarder in Japan. Despite its dominant position and strong competitive advantage, Nippon Express is deeply undervalued relative to its peers. Closing the gap to Nippon Express' intrinsic value will require bold and ambitious steps which should include: a pause and re-evaluation of the current M&A strategy, the introduction of measures to increase profitability and right sizing the balance sheet to improve capital efficiency. We look forward to continuing to work constructively with Nippon Express to unlock its full value for all shareholders.
