➀ Kioxia is expected to file for an IPO on the Tokyo Stock Exchange in H1 2025 using a new listing process.

The new process allows the company to engage with potential investors before the IPO is approved, making the valuation less susceptible to market fluctuations.➁ Kioxia aims to achieve a valuation of $6.5 billion at its listing next year, down from the $10.3 billion it was seeking before the cancelled October IPO.➂ The company has a complex ownership structure with Bain consortium and Toshiba owning significant stakes, and Japanese government funds controlling a portion of the voting rights.
