Rs Technologies (3445 JP) announced a TOB on Helios Techno Holding (6927 JP) 12 days ago. At a 74% premium, but that was too cheap. I discussed it here.
Shares went limit up for two days then traded huge volume the first full day last Wednesday. The lowest trade so far in open trading is 3% through terms.
57% of Shares Out Ex-Treasury have traded in five days. Anyone who bought 5% on Day 1 has to file a Large Shareholder Report today.


Helios Techno Holding (6927) TOB - Today Could Be The Day

<li>On Friday, acquisitive wafer technology firm <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/rs-technologies-co-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:26789:1" rel="noopener">Rs Technologies (3445 JP)</a> announced it would buy lamp and printing equipment maker <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/helios-techno-holding-co-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:13934:1" rel="noopener">Helios Techno Holding (6927 JP)</a> at a 74% premium.  </li>
<li>The premium is big, but Helios is a steal at the price. Granted, it is a small potatoes steal. </li>
<li>The register is not controlled by any one party or group of investors other than retail. That makes this interesting.</li>
