In August when Bain announced that it would launch a Tender Offer for T&amp;K Toka Co Ltd (4636 JP) I suggested in my first piece it was the wrong price. 
I suggested it needed another ¥1,000 added onto the price. If the ¥1,300 price Dalton initially indicated seemed low to T&amp;K TOKA, another ¥100 doesn't seem right.
It took time. Now it looks like a tender offer launch is imminent. The stock has traded through terms for almost 5 months, but not by a lot.
