- According to Hankyung Business Daily, the demand ratio was 223 to 1. Shift Up will start trading on 11 July.

Toenec (1946 JP) Offering – Nearly $50mm on SmallCap Utility Infra Co as Chubu EPCO Sells Down
- Today, Toenec Corp (1946 JP) – an integrated facilities company 50+% owned by Chubu Electric Power Co (9502 JP) announced Chubu EPCO would sell down 7.7% to go to 43%+.
- This is surprising. It suggests there are more selldowns to come. It’s also “big” at 88 days of ADV and about 26% of Max Real World Float (85% retail).
- This is an odd sell-down. Chubu EPCO obviously doesn’t want to buy it in. That means overhang for years.
