(Mostly) Asia-Pac Weekly Risk Arb Wrap: Aoki, Kerry Express Thailand, JOYY, Tietto Mins, Pact Group

- Two new deals discussed this week: AOKI Holdings (8214 JP)‘s MBO and in-specied-triggered MTO got Kerry Express Thailand (KEX TB).
- Key updates took place on: JOYY (YY US), Tietto Minerals Ltd (TIE AU)and Pact Group Holdings (PGH AU).
Investors Do Not Want to See A “P/B Improvement Plan” That Follows a Template
- TSE’s request to raise P/B was issued March end, and the number of companies that have disclosed their improvement measures is still low, at only about 30% of all companies.
- Companies are likely to use good examples, but because the factors that increase share price vary from company to company, companies must offer their own solutions to their own situations.
- Investors don’t want to see “P/B improvement plan” that follows the template, but want to see compelling measures that demonstrate cash flow growth, which is based on share price appreciation.
