Nippon Sheet Glass (5202 JP) is now down to "pure arb." All approvals are in. All financing done. The remaining trade is to buy and hold until the cash settles.

Resonac (4004 JP) is spinning off 80+% of its petrochemical division. Crasus Chemical is unlikely to stay in MSCI. Definitely not Nikkei 225. Big selling on Day 1 at the close likely.
