  • The company announced its buyback, and an agreement by two holders of 39% to sell in a ToSTNeT-3 buy, then started buying in the market. Results are impactful.
  • The shares are up today on this news, though they gave some back after the BOJ news. The outlook for more share price impact is not bad.
