Today after the close, Toyota Tsusho (8015 JP) announced it would take out minorities in electronics parts/items producer subsidiary (since 2012) Elematec Corp (2715 JP) at 40% up.
It has been a bad year, so this is opportunistic. The price is too cheap, there are no synergies involved, there was no Special Committee Financial Advisor. Weak process. 
But this gets done because the parent plus friendlies start with 62% or so. 


Elematec (2715 JP) Tender Offer by Parent Co at ¥2,400. Cheap, Weak Process, But WhatchaGonnaDo?
