In mid-December, digital UX creation agency (90% of revenues) and "talent agency" (10%) announced it would move from TSE Growth to TSE Prime mid-December 2022.
This was in Janaghan's "Not Ready" list in TOPIX Inclusions: Who Is Ready (Dec 2022) because it did not meet two of the requirements. But it turns out it did.
This is therefore a TOPIX inclusion event at end-January 2023.
