Hitachi Transport System (9086 JP) has had a "long" wait to get its approvals, but EC and China are in, any remaining should be in shortly. 
Yesterday, as a footnote on the SG Holdings offering document, there was a comment about SG Holdings selling shares. This was likely more good corporate governance hygiene than warning.
