Nikkei article says Bain Capital approached FujiSoft (9749) with an "About ¥600bn" offer to overbid KKR (¥554bn). KKR/Fujisoft talked with 3D for 2+yrs. There were 2 PE Funds in the auction process in spring, but KKR won. Bain might have been the other. If so, they did DueDili. Now they have a mind to bid more. I expect this sees a pop. FujiSoft likely to treat seriously. KKR might match/beat.
