<li>A Fund named Mirai Creation Fund, investing in five "fields" "vital to the future" ("intelligent technologies", robotics, hydrogen-economy, electrification, and "new materials") will buy out casting/forging mainstay IJTT. </li>
<li>The look and feel of this fund screams "lead me to the future", so of course, the buy-out is being done with 26% equity, 74% debt. Levered is good.</li>
<li>That's to buy at 0.46x PBR. Equity check is 12% of net assets. The Board says "yes" because it will lead to "improvement of corporate value". Unfortunately, not for shareholders. </li>
