In February 2022, Noritsu Koki (7744 JP) sold a chunk of JMDC (4483 JP) to Omron Corp (6645 JP) for nearly US$1bn. 7mos later, Omron supported a primary offering.
Now Omron is going to 50+%, as Noritsu Koki is getting out. Other investors have to participate for this to succeed. 
The question of pro-ration may be a question of Elmer vs Mr Partridge. But Elmer has a point here.
