On November 13th last year, <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/26096" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:26096:1">Linkbal Inc (6046 JP)</a> announced it was looking to move from MOTHERS to the TSE First Section. The stock rallied. At the same time the company said that it was preparing to file an application for the move. On March 5th, the company announced a forthcoming tachiaigai bunbai offering designed to increase the float. That tachiaigai bunbai offering (designed for retail investors only) takes place this morning after an announcement the company would oversee the offer of 970,000 shares (about 5% of the company but about 180% of the float currently held by public retail investors) at a price of ¥905/share (1,000 shares max per buyer), which is a 3% discount to yesterday's close of ¥933 yen. This will get it most of the way towards meeting the requirements, but likely not all the way. An inclusion is still months off. And there would likely be another sale to increase shareholder count by 800-1000 before then, whether in the form of a Public Offering/Uridashi or in the form of another tachiaigai bunbai.Given where we are on timing, as shown in <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/insights/historical-topix-inclusions-how-do-they-do-around-inclusion-date" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="insights:26751">Historical TOPIX Inclusions:  How Do They Do Around Inclusion Date?</a> this would seem an interesting bet. Given the company's prodigious growth in sales and profits, even though it is small, more people will look at it.
