AZ-Com Maruwa Holdings (9090 JP) has launched a pre-conditional hostile offer for Chilled &amp; Frozen Logistics Holdings (9099 JP) at JPY3,000 per share, a 47.0% premium to the last close.
The pre-conditions primarily relate to regulatory approvals. The tender is expected to start in early May. The Board responded that it will evaluate the offer.

Chilled & Frozen Logistics (9099 JP): AZ-COM Maruwa (9090 JP)’s Hostile Offer

<ul>
<li>The Offering priced today at ¥7,338/share vs ¥8,039/share traded at the close on the day of the announcement. That's an 8.7% discount for no dilution. </li>
<li>Compared to a broad basket of Peer Baskets (yes, a basket of baskets), the stock has underperformed by 4.2%, and the 3% discount today puts it at 7+% move.</li>
<li>Given the relative cheapness, one should be comfortable putting this on if it gets sold off. This is not different to my initial opinion.</li>
