In late November, I updated my "JAPAN FLOW:  Foreign Investor Flows Still Matter" series with <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/insights/japan-flow-foreign-investor-flows-still-matter-redux-reduxed-playing-catchup" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="insights:45711" rel="noopener">JAPAN FLOW:  Foreign Investor Flows Still Matter (Redux, Reduxed) - Playing Catchup</a>.The series, which I have written about for years, suggests foreign investors invest in Japan pro-cyclically based on a relatively simple indicator. <section class="figure"><figure class="editor-figure mceNonEditable"><img src="https://static-prod.smartkarma.com/images/media/000/189/938/original/Screenshot+2021-02-21+at+6.33.43+PM.png?1613903639" class="editor-image img-responsive" data-smartkarma-image-id="189938"></figure></section>This chart shows 26-week cumulative net buying vs the indicator, which moves faster, but if you break down that average into a shorter-term average, it moves "faster" in response to moves in the light blue line. My conclusion in late November was that foreigners were "behind the curve" and needed to play catchup. That was despite the fact that they had purchased ¥1.5trln of stocks in the previous four weeks. Since end-November, they have net purchased more than ¥1.7 trillion worth of Japanese equities through 12 February (the data through 19 Feb is not available until 26 February). The inputs to the indicator currently suggest it could go either way from here, but as shown in the chart above (the light blue line) it is an oscillator.

Event-Driven

The Nikkei Asia <a href="https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Business-deals/1bn-bid-for-Tokyo-Dome-planned-by-developer-Mitsui-Fudosan" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> this morning (Japanese article link <a href="https://www.nikkei.com/article/DGXMZO66704090X21C20A1MM8000" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>) that <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/mitsui-fudosan-co-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:565:1" rel="noopener">Mitsui Fudosan (8801 JP)</a> intended to partner with someone to launch a Tender Offer to take private <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/tokyo-dome-corp" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:6421:1" rel="noopener">Tokyo Dome Corp (9681 JP)</a>, spending "more than ¥100bn" (vs the ¥85.9bn of yesterday's close) based on the idea that there would be a premium to market price. The Tender Offer could start before 2020 ends.The bigger story here, of course, is that hedge fund Oasis Management has been on the case, urging Tokyo Dome management to do more to improve value for shareholders. Oasis said earlier this month they had been trying to engage with Tokyo Dome since 2018. They went over 5% in December 2019 and according to filings lifted their stake to 9.71% in January 2020. Covid-19 later hit Japan and as a result, the number of events and therefore visitor count at the various features and venues within Tokyo Dome have slowed, and the company is on its back foot. Early this year, Oasis set up a website with a fair bit of material for their case at <a href="https://www.abettertokyodome.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">abettertokyodome.com</a>. There main presentation is linked <a href="https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5dd62b05f226644911c6d4e1/t/5efabd9b2d98f71482b79156/1593490878125/OASIS+-+A+Better+Tokyo+Dome+Presentation.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>. The claims are clear, and frankly, anyone who has been to Tokyo Dome recently will know exactly what Oasis is pointing at in terms of efforts which could make Tokyo Dome a better place to visit and a better company. Among the proposals by Oasis, there are substantially improved digital signage to improve ad revenue, a naming rights agreement like seen at other major Japan venues which could bring in ¥500mm a year or more, overhauled technology to match other world-class venues, substantially improved F&amp;B strategy, etc.  The deck was really an informative read when presented in January of this year and the opportunity seemed clear to me. The onset of covid-19 was a highly unfortunate development in the timeline, and this has disrupted what might have been a much more lively activist discussion. As it is, in October, Oasis called for a shareholder meeting for Tokyo Dome, asking to replace three directors including President Tsutomu Nagaoka. On 10 November, Tokyo Dome held a press conference which saw some floundering, and Oasis <a href="https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20201111005501/en/Oasis-Key-Messages-for-Tokyo-Dome-Shareholders-Regarding-the-EGM-on-December-17-2020" target="_blank" rel="noopener">responded</a> the day after.

It is also a 5-year high price and other than a single day May 13th 2013 (just before the first 'Abenomics bubble' burst a week later) - where the shares closed at ¥1688 - the Tender Offer Price is at 10-year high.The deal is subject to a 'two-step' process whereby after a tender offer, NTT will seek to squeeze out minorities. If NTT gets to 90%, there will be a share cash-out demand by NTT to NTT Urban, who will then oblige remaining minorities to sell their shares. If at the end of the tender, NTT owns more than two-thirds of the shares outstanding but less than 90%, NTT will call for Urban to hold an EGM to vote on a consolidation (reverse share split) of shares where odd lots get cashed out. The result of that would be that all minorities would also be cashed out, but it will take longer. The trick here is that NTT already owns more than two-thirds so this is a fait accompli. There is no minimum share tender required to make it successful, and strictly speaking, NTT needs no shares to squeeze out minorities from here.It's all over but the shouting.

Doing bespoke work since 2002.....

Custom Products Group

Custom Products was started 14 years ago at Lehman Brothers by current co-founder Patrick Hansen, CFA. After 3 years at Lehman, Patrick moved the team to Macquarie Securities where Simon Rigney (co-founder) joined. 3 years ago we took Custom Products independent. 

Our core strength can be summed up three words. 1- Customization - we have very little off the shelf products and most work is done on a one on one bespoke basis. 2- Speed - We pride ourselves in our ability to get requests back to the client very quickly. 3- Confidentiality - We do not redistribute. There is no grace period where we wait a week and then mass blast. Any request stops with that client.
