Toyo Construction (1890 JP): Pot Shots and Warning Shots

YFO’s press release alleges the Toyo Construction (1890 JP) Board will not recommend the tender as YFO is not a suitable owner rather than the JPY,1000 price being too low.
The Board responded that YFO violated the NDA by disclosing the reasons for the Board’s disapproval. This damages the understanding between the parties, an essential precondition to recommending the offer.
The start of the tender has been pushed back to late January 2023. YFO is committed and will not withdraw the offer for any reason that shareholders may consider unreasonable.

The China Securities Index (CSI) will launch the CSI REITs Index today. The index currently has 14 constituents, and the REITs will be capped at 15% of the index weight.
We expect another 6 REITs to be added to the index at the March rebalance. And then at least another 3 more in June.
The launch of the index should result in ETFs and other passive investment products being floated which should further enhance market liquidity and bring long-term benefits to the market.

Adani Enterprises (ADE IN) is looking to raise INR200bn (US$2.4bn) via a further public offering. The company has obtained board approval and is now awaiting shareholder approval.
It is the flagship company of the Adani Group. The group’s listed entities’ stock performance over the past few years has made the founder one of the richest persons globally.
However, the stock is expensive and has had some issues in the past. In this note, we take an early look at the possible placement and its impact.
