Overview
- EGDC, a Misk Foundation subsidiary tied to Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, disclosed buying 26,788,500 Capcom shares for a 5.03% stake in a Kanto Local Finance Bureau filing.
- The company described the purchase as “pure investment” aimed at capital gains and dividends.
- Combined with the Public Investment Fund’s roughly 5% acquired in 2022, Saudi-linked ownership now exceeds one tenth of Capcom.
- EGDC previously took near-full control of SNK, and Saudi vehicles have pursued larger gaming deals including the proposed $55 billion EA buyout.
- Capcom’s recent momentum, including strong Resident Evil Requiem sales and a rising share price, provides context as no governance shifts have been signaled.
