DLE Corp., a Tokyo-based intellectual property firm, is set to reap financial rewards from its strategic investment in ChargeSPOT Taiwan. The company announced it will record significant non-operating income for the fiscal year ending March 2025, following the sale of ChargeSPOT Taiwan’s shares in ChargeSPOT Digital Service to INFORICH.
The deal, approved at ChargeSPOT Taiwan’s September 2024 shareholders’ meeting, marks a successful exit for DLE’s 2019 capital and business alliance. DLE has already received 96 million yen (US$640,000), representing 80% of the sale proceeds, which it plans to book as non-operating income in Q3 of FY2025. The remaining 20% is expected to be determined and recorded in Q4.
This windfall validates DLE’s hands-on venture support strategy, which combines active business development with planned exit strategies. The company aims to leverage this success to attract more investment opportunities, focusing on ventures that address social issues and create new value.
While the total dividend amount remains undisclosed, this transaction underscores DLE’s ability to nurture and monetize its diverse portfolio of intellectual property and strategic investments across Asia.
