Today, NEC Corp (6701 JP) announced a long-expected and "arbitraged" takeover of Nec Networks &amp; System Integr (1973 JP) after the latter reported a delay in earnings and great numbers.
The premium is a bit light, and the internal mechanics to NEC are highly favourable. This was always going to happen this way. It's a pity it took so long.
This gets done easily as active foreign owners, arbs, and crossholders will sell into it, and only 15.3% is needed to get this over the hump.
