Today after the close, Canon Marketing Japan (8060 JP) announced a large Tender Offer Buyback from its parent company Canon Inc (7751 JP). Canon will tender 20mm shares (15.42%). 
This is a very capital efficient way to conduct a buyback from a parent, and an even better way for a parent to sell shares of a sub. 
This corporate action will reduce equity by 20%, and partially clean up the messy inter-company transactions which should not exist.
