(Mostly) Asia-Pac Weekly Risk Arb Wrap: Energy One, Costa Group, DDH1, ENM, Penguin
- I tally 49 – mostly firm, mostly Asia-Pac – transactions currently being discussed and analysed on Smartkarma. Inside is a timetable of upcoming key events for each deal.
- Quiet week – only one new deal: STG’s Offer for Energy One Ltd (EOL AU).
- Key updates took place for Costa Group Holdings (CGC AU), DDH1 (DDH AU), ENM Holdings (128 HK), and Penguin International (PBS SP).
JPX-Nikkei 400 Rebal 2024: End-Aug 2023
- JPX-Nikkei 400 is composed of common stocks listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. It is a free-float-adjusted market-value-weighted (capped) index composed of 400 constituents.
- A periodic review is conducted by the Index providers, the JPX Group and Nikkei Inc, in August every year. We look at the potential forward inclusions and removals every month.
- Below is a look at potential Inclusions and Removals for the JPX-Nikkei 400 Rebalance to come in August 2024 based on trading data as of end-August 2023.
26 Sept Scheme Vote For ENM (128 HK)
- Back on the 2 June, small-cap fashion wear retailer ENM Holdings (128 HK) received a delisting Offer from major shareholder, Chinachem, at HK$0.58/share, in cash.
- The Scheme Doc is now out after thrice being delayed. The EGM/Court Meeting will be held on the 26 September with expected payment around the 14 November.
- There’s a whiff of opportunism embedded in the Offer. But being loss-making and illiquid, I’d expect the vote to still get up.
