The Tsuruha/Welcia merger has a little bit of activist optionality. It is not clear how strong that is. There is other optionality in the Tender Offer. There is skew. Then there is synergy skew too.

Tsuruha is trading 5+% through its merger terms with Welcia. This is probably due to the latent possibility that Orbis and/or others will mount a more serious campaign to block the merger at the current ratio. That's tough, but not impossible. Watch for more active news. IF there is an effort, they might get 10-15% more on the ratio. I'd note, the later Tender Offer is up for grabs in any case.
