<li>Bain had aimed to start its Tender Offer in late October. They made their pitch before and their legally-binding proposal on 11 October. They are still waiting for FujiSoft's approval.</li>
<li>For that, Bain yesterday updated everyone, saying they were ready to go when Fuji Soft gives their approval. Now they aim to start in early November. </li>
<li>WHY Fuji Soft has not yet approved is an obvious question. They may be waiting for KKR's First Tender to close, thinking Bain's tender competes with KKR's proposed Second Tender.</li>
