Lawson Inc (2651 JP)'s Tender Offer is still too cheap. It is also a somewhat non-transparent and unfair process. And it does not adhere to the METI Fair M&amp;A Guidelines.

Samsonite (1910 HK)'s pursuit of a dual listing (primary or secondary?) appears to be put the buyout on the backburner. For now.

Socionext (6526 JP) and ZOZO Inc (3092 JP) have a large part of the Max Real World Float to displace. Neither of those two names are outlandishly expensive.
