It has been announced that by April of 2009, that Tecmo and Koei will hope to merge together to form a new holding company (Tecmo Koei Holdings) with Koei share holders owning 3/4 of Tecmo. The deal is valued around 20 billion yen (or $207 million U.S. dollars). Tecmo has recently turned down a buy out offer from Square Enix.
