LONDON, Feb. 9, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Elliott Advisors (UK) Limited ("Elliott"), which advises funds that together hold a significant investment in Dai Nippon Printing ("DNP" or "the Company"), notes yesterday's announcement regarding the Company's new Medium-term Management Plan.

Elliott Senior Portfolio Manager Nabeel Bhanji said the following about the announcement:

"We welcome DNP's commitment to announce the largest share buyback in the Company's history, accelerate the disposal of its cross-shareholdings, increase its ROE target to 10% and target a Price-to-Book multiple of above 1x. In our view, these measures represent an important initial step in addressing DNP's persistent and unwarranted undervaluation. We look forward to continuing our constructive engagement with the Company."
