In a move to counter Lee Soo-man's influence, S.M.Entertainment Co (041510 KS) intends to issue new shares (9.05% on a fully diluted basis) to Kakao Corp (035720 KS).
Lee, with 18.4% in SM, responded by selling 14.8% to SM's rival HYBE (352820 KS). HYBE concurrently announced a tender offer for an additional 25%, at ₩120,000/share, a 22% premium.
Kakao and SM are less than impressed. But these developments are a power grab for the pioneer of K-pop.

Back on the 5 January, First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB DH) said it had considered a bid for Standard Chartered (STAN LN/2888 HK),  but was no longer evaluating an Offer.
Such a statement kickstarts a six-month cooling-off period whereby FAB is restricted from reloading. This means all deal work must cease.  Unless another bidder emerges or STAN's board approves. 
In a curious development, STAN's shares popped ~11% yesterday, on no apparent news.
