Japan


Comments (with links to announcements &amp; insights)




BeNEXT Group (2154 JP) 
6-Apr: Just for kicks, Travis checked the Bloomberg download of TOPIX constituents and weights and noted that the number of shares of BeNEXT Group (2154 JP) is now 40.8119463mm shares against the level of 19.317465mm shares as of mid-March. That told him the TSE included the shares at month-end despite the index team telling us (Janaghan communicated on this but Travis was CCed) they would not make the share change at delisting if the notice was so short.Turns out they did. 



Cocokara Fine (3098 JP) 
28 April: The two companies (including Matsumotokiyoshi Holdings Co., Ltd. (3088 JP) announced all the corporate reorganisation measures which would be voted upon at the AGMs



Dynac Holdings Corporation (2675 JP) 
15 April: The tender offer is completed. Suntory reaches 93.51%.  23 April: Suntory executes Demand for Share Cash-Out and announces delisting for 28 May. 



Honshu Chemical Industry (4115 JP) 

No April update




IGNIS Ltd (3689 JP) 

20-Apr: It may have been too light but in the end, people sold their shares of IGNIS Ltd (3689 JP) to Bain.  This is now done and the combination of Bain and the principals own two-thirds or more. This will get delisted and minorities will be squeezed out.




Japan Asia (3751 JP) 

Throughout the month:  JAG and CIE joust in court, eventually the court sides with Murakami-san and the rights offer is cancelled.  27-Apr: City Index Eleventh OFFICIALLY Launches Next Japan Asia Group (3751) Hostile Tender Offer




Maeda Road Construction Co (1883 JP) 

14-Apr: Maeda Road Construction Co (1883 JP) shareholders, as expected, approved the Special Dividend of JPY 650/share (record date March 6th). This is on top of the 100 yen/share of regular plus special commemorative dividend which went ex- on March 30th. 




Shoko Co Ltd (8090 JP) 

16-Apr: The Shoko Co Ltd (8090 JP) deal had a minimum hurdle of 5.663mm shares.  It got 6.069mm shares, which is very low "clearance" vs the minimum. Lots of people obviously did not like this one. Combined with Showa Denko K.K. (4004 JP)'s remaining 14.97%, that gets them to about 70.4% of shares out. This is enough to push a squeezeout, but it may also be enough outstanding to be worthwhile thinking about an Appraisal Rights case. 




Takeei Corp (2151 JP) 

2-Apr: Takeei Corp (2151 JP) today announced it had bought back 19,600 shares for 23.5mm yen during the month of March. The company bought back 153,600 shares or about 0.7% of shares out in the program meant to buy back as much as 2.1% of shares out. The program is now ended
