The new 100% mandatory tender offer rule could push buyers to lower premiums for major shareholders, potentially increasing hostile takeover attempts as costs get shared with minority shareholders.
It looks like MBK is eyeing this situation as a chance to redefine their strategy. This really shows how serious MBK is about the Korea Zinc deal.
Watch for top-tier assets available via hostile takeovers, particularly companies like SK Inc and Lotte Corp, where low shareholder stakes may lead to management conflicts.
