JSR Corp (4185 JP)’s pre-conditional tender offer from JIC is conditional on several regulatory approvals, notably China SAMR approval. JIC can waive the conditions precedent.
A takeaway from the Broadcom (AVGO US)/VMware Inc Class A (VMW US) SAMR clearance is that if JIC is willing to commit to restrictive conditions, SAMR approval can be obtained.
On 6 November, JSR reiterated a late December tender start. However, with time fast running out, the likely scenario is SAMR conditional approval with a delayed tender start.
