In late March, AZ-Com Maruwa Holdings (9090 JP) made an unsolicited ("hostile") bid for Chilled &amp; Frozen Logistics Holdings (9099 JP) at a near 50% premium at ¥3,000/share.

This deal doesn't get the split price benefit that HTS and Alps Logistics did. And it is a fundamentally different logistics business. And target management dynamics are different.
