Toshiba (6502) – Funding Unsecured! (This Is Getting To Be a Habit)
- A Bloomberg article out Friday evening suggests the JIP Consortium funding plan submitted as the final package to Toshiba Corp (6502 JP) is no longer secure.
- Apparently Orix Corp (8591 JP), which with ROHM Co Ltd (6963 JP) was planning to invest equity and pref for total ¥300bn, wants to lower its investment to ¥200bn.
- Other equity tranche participants apparently want to reduce exposure as well.
Last Week in Event SPACE: Japan Post, Origin Energy, SATS, China Renaissance, Sembcorp Marine
- There is no good reason to buy Japan Post Bank (7182 JP)‘s dip until the offering. It’s unlikely to earn the ROE to deserve the PBR it has versus peers.
- Brookfield and EIG/MidOcean’s revised NBIO will garner Origin Energy (ORG AU) board support; however, the terms are weird and unfair to investors holding fewer than 100k shares.
- SATS (SATS SP) rights offer is not actually a surprise. Not at all. Passive funds will exercise.
Fujitec (6406 JP): Oasis Scores a Victory in a Tight EGM Vote
- At the Fujitec Co Ltd (6406 JP) EGM, Oasis successfully secured approval for four out of six candidates for outside directors. The tight vote shows that shareholders desire change.
- Oasis fell short of its nominations constituting up to two-thirds of the Board. However, Oasis-aligned directors will represent 67% of outside directors which still can drive meaningful change.
- The EGM results will spur optimism that Fujitec can close the performance gap with peers, resulting in a rerating. Fujitec remains attractive on a cash-adjusted P/E basis.
