Japan Industrial Partners (JIP) will launch the Toshiba Corp (6502 JP) tender offer of JPY4,620 per share from 8 August to 20 September.
The Board has reaffirmed its recommendation to accept the offer. JIP’s inability to raise its bid is used as an excuse to ignore the material peer rerating and unattractive terms.
The 1Q results undermine the Board’s view of an overstated DCF and show its unwillingness to entertain a potential Kioxia merger as a superior alternative, increasing deal risks. 


Toshiba (6502 JP): Tender Offer Launches, 1Q Results Increase Deal Risks

<li>Toshiba reports 1Q results on 7 August. A solid 1Q will undermine the Board’s recommendation of the offer in part on the premise that the IFA’s DCF valuation is unrealistic.</li>
<li>The current low spread points to a done deal, partly due to shareholder fatigue. However, risks persist as the rerating of peers continues to chip away at the offer’s attractiveness. </li>

On 28 July, Toshiba Corp (6502 JP) disclosed that JIP delayed the tender start to “sometime in August 2023” vs the target “in the last ten days of July 2023.”
Toshiba reports 1Q results on 7 August. A solid 1Q will undermine the Board’s recommendation of the offer in part on the premise that the IFA’s DCF valuation is unrealistic.
The current low spread points to a done deal, partly due to shareholder fatigue. However, risks persist as the rerating of peers continues to chip away at the offer’s attractiveness.
