Acquired and Delisted: Clarion Co., Ltd. was acquired by French automotive supplier Faurecia (now part of the Forvia Group) and subsequently delisted from the Tokyo Stock Exchange on March 25, 2019. The acquisition, valued at approximately ¥140 billion (¥2,500 per share), has integrated Clarion into a new business group, 'Faurecia Clarion Electronics Systems', headquartered in Japan.</li>

However, financial data from 2016-2018 indicates a period of declining revenue and net income, reflecting the intense competitive pressures and high R&amp;D costs in the automotive electronics sector.</li>
