SEGA to purchase Index Corporation

SEGA Sammy will be purchasing Index Corporation, according to a report from Nikkei (Nihon Keizai Shimbun). The move means that Atlus will fall under SEGA’s ownership as well.

The acquisition will be made for 14 billion yen. In November, the transition is expected to be finalized.

Last month, Bloomberg reported that SEGA made a bid for the company. Japanese financial firm J Trust was also in the running.
